GREYMOTJTH, Ajpril 17. A gentleman closely identified with the Westport coal trade, commenting upon the unsatisfactory way in which the place is being catered for in tho way of shipping, said the ships should be hungering at the port for cargoes, and then the people would see what Westport was really capable of in the way of producing coal. As it i» at present, the supply of the coal ia continually getting ahead of the supply of ships, and mine managers have to exercise great caution in . not getting their stocks too- high. At a meeting of the Greymouth Borough Council on Thursday evening, it was resolved to take a poll of the ratepayers on three loan proposals— ; firstly, to borrow £67,062, secondly £49,060, and thirdly £39,169.
