OAMARU BREAKWATER
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) OAMARU, This Day..
A Harbour Board shot fired at the board's quarry this morning was completely successful, fully 40,000 tons being obtained. Only a quarter is spoil; the rest is all good breakwater stone.
The total cost was £300, compared with £1030 for the first shot! when out of 65,000 tons two-thirds was spoil.
The material will be used for the breakwater extension.
