NOEA NIVEN RETURNS

The steam trawler Nora Niven, which arrived back in Wellington' last evening from Paliiser Bay, brought about 140 cases of fish, mostly moki. The vessel left for the Straits on Monday last, and had moderate weather during the cruise. On Tuesday afternoon those on board caught a' 14ft shark, of a somewhat unusual species, having two large dorsal fins and a tail.like a hapuka. The shark was cut. open, and its liver removed for the op, which is of considerable"commercial value

PKOPOSED WORKS AT TAUKANGA

A deputation from the Tauranga Council and Harbour Board to tbe Waihi Borough Council, at its last meeting, submitted a scheme for the dredging and improvement of Tauranga harbour so as to admit of intercolonial and foreign-going vessels using that port. An argument brought forward was .that with the equipment of the harbour and the completion of the Tauranga-Waihi section of the East Coast railway, Waihi would be brought within 40 miles of Tauranga, as comparea with tho distance of 140 miles from Auckland. This vould result in a big saving of railage rates for goods from Waihi, In the event of that council joining in the, proposed scheme the increase in rates would amount to about £450 only per year. The reduced charges on imports and greater exporting facilities would return this cost many times over. Consideration of the question was deferred ; (

COAT/ FROM WEST COAST

The Karamu, which left Wellington yesterday for Greymouth, will on arrival there load a cargo of much needed coal for Wellington. She is due back about the end of the week. The Karamu is the first vessel to leave Wellington to load coal on the West Coast for a very considerable time ,

v^ WANGANUI'S NEW DREDGE

A letter was received from Messrs. Fleming and Ross at the last meeting of the Wanganui Harbour Board in regard to the new dredge Kaione, which is being birijt at Home. The letter confirmed a previous cable refusing an offer of £3000 extra made by the board to send the dredge out. The firm indicated, it* would be entitled to pecuniary oonuideratipn as the result of dearer prices of building rrfaterial, due to the war. Finally the contractors stated that it would be impossible to estimate the cost of delivering the dredge, but if delivery were insisted upon, they would act promptly, and charge the board with an at present unknown quantity, i.e., the actual cost. Tbe contractors also stated that a dredge had been completed by their firm for tlm Liverpool port Authority, and in which case an Admiralty rule applied, the builders being guaranteed the extra cost. The chairman Said he had interviewed Mr. Swarm (the Harbuor Board's engineer), who had said that nractically all the (material for the Kaione wad been ordered before the war started. .This state of affairs was quite different to building a dredge after the war had commenced. Peiv sonally the chairman did not think the. buildera had any legal claim against the board. The builders, in the event of Bending the qfgdge

out, wanted the board to pay tbe Insurances, increased charges, and also to relieve them of a responsibility of replacing her. The chairman did not think it wise for the board to agree to tbe terms

1 THE"BINEMO>

Captain Bollons, cf the Hinemoa 1, telegraphs that the vessel was at Cape Saimders yesterday, and was coaling at Fort Chalmers this morning. She was expected to sail at noon to-day for the Nuggets, Waipapapa Point, ana Blull', and will probably arrive at the latter port on Saturday evening The Rarava, which has been compelled to omit one return trip between New Plymouth and Onehunga, owing ,to the . coal shortage, will probably resume running next week, leaving Onehunga on Monday and New Plymouth on Tuesday
