TUG AS BOARD-ROOM
The Lyttelton Harbour Board selected a nautical setting for its monthly meeting on Wednesday. Members travelled to port to hold their nieeting in mid-harbour on board the tug Lyttelton. The deck of the tug was transformed for the occasion. Under an awning a big baize-covered table looked strangely formal, with its neat piles of agenda papers and reports. Members assembled to the accompaniment of a chorus of sea whistles and the raucous screams of seagulls. “Order, gentlemen, I declare the meeting open for business,” said the chairman, Mr. E. J. Howard. M.P., and as he spoke there was a tinkle from the engine-room telegraph and the tug moved away from the wharf.
