Soundings At Slipway
Further soundings had to be made off the Sumner lifeboat slipway, the City Engineer (Mr P. G. Seoular) said yesterday, but the City Council had been waiting for the Sumner Lifeboat Institution to say when conditions were right and a boat available to make the soundings. Mr Seoular was replying to criticism by Mr W. J. Baguley, secretary of the institution, that the lifeboat had been damaged because there was insufficient water at the slipway and that the council had done nothing although it had promised an investigation last June. When there had been the further soundings a decision could be made on what to do with the sea bottom at the slinwav. Mr Seoular said.
