CASHIN QUAY
It looked as if the Cashln quay experiment had succeeded. Mr J. A. Cashin, engineer-in-chief of the Lyttelton Harbour Board, told a luncheon of the Christchurch branch of the Insurance Institute of New Zealand yesterday. During the last seven months nearly 40 ships had been handled at Cashin quay without a day lost and without any hindrance, although the cables of one ship that was due to leave port had broken, he said. Mr Cashin spoke on developments at Lyttelton harbour since the earliest days of the Canterbury province. Mr Cashin said he had told the harbour board that he expected that the new berth would be untenable for two or three days at a time, three or four times a year.
To prevent this would have cost a further £750,000, but some people wanted to spend this much to gain the extra few days each year.
