THE LYTTELTON HARBOUR.

TO THE BDITOB Of THE PBESS Sir,—As a member of the Port Christchurch League, I take strong exception to the concluding portion of Mr Cyrus J: R. Williams's-letter ap-nearin-r in Saturday morning's issue of your paper. If there is any approach to tL cry of '.'stinking fish," surelv it is contained in that , portion of hfs letter wherein he states that it is not likely that anyone alive tol ,„;ii the berthage, accommoday will see OV ertaxed. What dntion Sir, strolSrXt to the end of the New Brigho"r Pier a few mornings ago, at the ton pier tjde> an(J wlth a fair fihln of sea running, and knowing of fUmsy construction, compared with us nil " s { ponstruction, I. wondered present-day const ? • the people of Canterbury by frighten P . u tt er impossibilitv •telling them of or moffl of cons^tr k battering seas to withstand the °f P/? as .~ .ntVxests of "Canterbury at tbr futin £ or yourselves how that heart, an» ; j en piles has stood the old row r heaviest sea ever hattenng geen on this part of this S. £*isrs;s: Srishty (for it ' is no 'far-

fetched statement to make, that some of those alive to-day will be alive eighty years hence), if the writer's statement of to-day is true, then why are we preparing elaborate ■ plans for a further dock at Gollan's Bay, for tunnel roads, etc. ? I sincerely trust •ho Port Christchurch League will take advantage of the opening your correspondent has given tliem by calling another meeting in the old Provincial Council Buildings, send invitations to all members of the Port and City League, - and a special invitation to Mr Cyrus Williams, and by so doing so 6 if we cannot reach some finalitv on . this question.—Yours, etc., A SON OF NEW ZEALAND. August 30th, 1930.
