The receipts for the eleven months amounted to £336,717, recording an increase of £36,770 over those of the corresponding period of 1024. The receipts for Manukau Harbour amounted to £460, which shows a decrease of £11 from the figures of 1024; but the receipts for the eleven months amounted to £5875, ■which is an increase of £436 over those
of the corresponding period of 1924. Altogether the receipts for the eleven months have exceeded the estimates by the sum of £14,967. In repl\- to complaints discolouration of the water Supplied to shipping, the town clerk has informed the Harbour Board that the council considered this was mainly due to the presence of dead ends to the mains around the wharves, causing rust to gather, and that the discolouration could be obviated by running off a certain amount of water before connecting up with the ships.
