STORAGE OF STATE GOODS
O HARBOUR BOARDS WANT PAYMENT (New Zealand Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH. October 12. The storage of Government goods in harbour board sheds and upon wharves without .charge cost the Wellington Harbour Board in the last two years £B2BO. calculated on the basis of storage charges for the commercial community, said Sir Charles Norwood (Wellington) at the annual conference of the Harbours Association of New Zealand at New Plymouth to-day. Heavy machinery was being imported for hydro-electric works. The loss to the Auckland board would be five or six times as great as at Wellington, said Mr W. F. McCullum (Auckland). The conference supported a remit from Wellington that the matter be again taken up with the Minister of Marine (Mr F. Hackett) with a view to urging the Government to pay the board concerned the equivalent of the amount of storage charges upon such goods as would be charged were the goods privately owned.
