Allport) has written to the Auckland Chamber of Commerce as follows, in regard to tut lighting of the North Auckland coast:— "l have been directed by the Minitter for 3iarine to state" thafc as regards a light for Bushy Head, at the entrance to Whangarei harbour, such a light would be .a harbour light, aad it is one of the functions of the Harbour Board having control of a port to provide and maintain such harbour lights as may be required. In view of (this, and of the fact that ife has been decided to let the Mokohinau light remain where it is, it is considered that this department cannot reasonably be 'expected to erect a light on Bushy Head." TAINTJI TO ARRIVE TUESDAY. As she did not leave Hobart until 3,30 a.m. on Fridaj', the Tainui will not now arrive at Wellington before Tuesday morning From the stream, the vessel will berth at Qlieen'B Wharf south.
