OAMARU HARBOUR. I OAMARU, this day. Mr. R. Milligan was to-day unanimously re-elected chairman of the Harbour Board. The annual report disclosed a further increase in the trade of the port as regards exports, and practically no difference in the quantity of imports, the cause alleged being the continuance of cheap differential railage rates by the Railway Department. Reference was also made in the report of the scheme now in progress to bring about a settlement of the 1879 loan of £100,000, the total liability in respect of which now stands at £202,000.
