HARRINGTON POINT WHARF.

TO TUB JSDITOE. Sir, —If one awaited Mr Miller’s reply to “Equal Rights” for a reasonable explanation of the restrictions placed upon other than passengers by his own boats, one would bo disappointed by his letter appearing in the ‘Star’ of this evening. Mr Miller is the last person to make a complaint on the score of unfairness, and while he alleges mis-statement on the part of the first correspondent, he is careful not to give an instance. Anyone who comes out in such strong terms, and reveals his paucity of a case by the old red herring of a nom de plume versus a signeef name in full, and then finishes by himself reiterating the chief complaint i.e. the imposition of a toll of 6d per, head on the public who do not patronise Mr Miller, should he careful to keep out of print. It can bo agreed that tho Harbour authorities who leased the wharf to Mr Miller are due for caustic treatment, but that does not justify Mr Miller’s action in practically refusing to allow tho public who prefer the train and Tarewai trip to land on his wharf, or to allow an opposition boat to pick up a few shillings by a bit ot extra trade, lliat is the pitiless economic system of tho clay, I admit.—l am, etc., Sympathised November 5.
