TRANSPORT INQUIRY
HARBOUR BOARDS' VIEW P.A. WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Both land transport and coastwise shipping transport 'were necessary for the trade and development of New Zealand, and neither form of transport should be permitted to operate at freight rates which would divert trade from one to the other and possibly put the opponent out of business . and create loss of employment and financial' difficulties, said Mr. W. J. Gardner, secretary of thj Harbours' Association of New Zealand (which represents 28 harbour boards), when making submissions to-day to the rail and coastal shipping committee. There should, he said, be a governing authority to co-ordinate various forms of transport, with the right of review of freight rates and of appeal in the event of either form of transport feeling aggrieved at any special or competitive rate. v The committee, which has already taken evidence in the South Island and Auckland area, is now sitting in Wellington, where it will probably finish its inquiry on Friday, after which it will consider its report to the Minister.
