LOSS OF REVENUE AT LTTTELTON

Jlr. If. F. Nieoll, at last Wednesday's * meeting of the Lytteltoii Harbour jjoiird, aiikcd it the chairman (Mr. A. Kave) could give any information as to what amount of shortngo in liiirlionr revenue ilurins the past three months was due to tl-.cre bein« no late train from Lytteltoii, or as to the. .number of vessels that had not visited the port tliat would have done so-If the cireumstnnees hail been different. Jlr. Kayo said tliat no tally had been kept, and it would be misleading to sive

guesswork information. There was no doubt ' that a goodj.v number of vessels had been induced not to visit Lytteltoii. because iC was known that work on", the sliij)s stopped at « p.m., and where'lt had been -possible in the interests of tile ships they had*avoided Lyttelton. He could not give any details "at present. Jlr. N'icoll asked if 'some approximate idea of the loss of revenue could not be given, but Jlr. Kayc saiti tliat lie did not care to venture a guess at it.

STEAMER CJAHO SOLD

_ The Cabo, v.hidi was sold to a Chinese syn-Au'strali-.m coast, ~ Tne Federal shipping authorities state that the .syndicate was perfectly aware of the embargo placed* on-the vessel's overseas movement when the purchase w#s' made. The (Jubo was one of the fleet owned by the Australian Steamships, Ltd., and chartered for some time last to the Australian United Steamship Navigation Company. She is day was a popular passenger ship, trading between Melbourne. Sydney, and Queensland ports, Some years ago her saloon accommodation was demolished, and since then the vessel has .been engaged in the nil-cargo service between Sydney and Queensland ports

THE WANGANUI SLIP

Since the Wangunui Harbour Board's new slip was opened on the 20tli September, 1917, four vessels have been taken up for overhaul. The first crnft to be hauled up on the ways was .the hulk which does • duty at Wanganui. The new innovation has proved a complete success and has supplied a lons-felt want. It was primarily constructed to accommodate the two freezing companies'- lighters, and thus save the expense of sending the vessels to Wellington. Tho slip has also been the means of bringing revenue to the port which otherwise was noing elsewhere. Another gain is repair work, which also had to be done at nther ports. So successful has the yenturo proved thut it is understood that it is contemplated enlarging .the slip to such an extent that it will he capable of taking' the largest regular coastal traders which coma to Wanganui

The Kennedy, which is due at Wellington from Foxton on Thursday next, will, go on the Slip on Friday for cleaning The new slip at Wunganui is justifying its erection. For the purpose of undergoing her iieriodical overhaul, the Invercarglll will rejtiain at Wangaimi for n few clays this week. Sue is not expected back in Wellington until next .Saturday The Rarawa. which runs between Onelmnga und New Plymouth, will leave the latter port on the 21st" February for Wellington, where i-he will go on the Patent Slip on the 22nd. 'rhe r.arav.'n will occupy the cradle for one day, and will sail in the evening for New Plymouth ......... ■is engine repairs had to be carried out on the Pateena yesterday the vessel did not (fcave tot Picton and Nelson until 4,15 o'clocfc
