OPEN AGAIN.
AUCKLAND WHARVES. CLOSURE MADE IN ERROR. Closed to the general public on Saturday morning, as a war-time emergency, with the intention of prohibiting their use, all the Auckland wharves were reopened for free admittance yesterday. The closure was made in error, it is understood. It is not specifically stated in the Shipping Safety Emergency Regulations that this action can be taken. The position, broadly, is that persons with legitimate business can use the wharves without a pass during the day, and those with legitimate business requiring them to board ships may obtain a permit from the police, according to the superintendent of police in Auckland, Mr. J. Cummings. Result of uncertainty of the position caused by the closing of the waterfront, many inquiries were made yesterday at the Queen's wharf police station, which is handling permits to enable vessels to be boarded. Strict supervision is being maintained over the -issue of permits, of (both permanent and temporary types.
