Ten men were recently sent from there to the ballast pit in the bed of the Hutt River near Hayward's. The Messrs Fletcher, who lio/ve secured the contract for the conveyance of metal from Pencarrow acroas tie harbour, will use several scows in th© work. The tender of Mem*. Coffey and Gregan has been accepted by the Hutt River Board for the Gear Island protective works.
