CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —The usual perspicuity of the annual report seems somewhat obscured through no reference to alternative bills of lading. We are expending large sums in deepening the Upper Harbor; yet the shipowner insists on Port Chalmers as the port of discharge if the master so wishes. Can nothing be done by the Chamber of Commerce to induce the shipowner to discontinue the alternative practice? As the chairman of the Harbor Board has frequently remarked (officially) : " Of what use is our deepening the Upper Harbor if the ships won't discharge at Dunedin."—l am, etc., F.M. August 4.
