Mr. Carnell asked if the clause in the leases enforcing the insurance of properties in the interest df the Board had been deleted. The Secretary replied that it had not. He did not understand that he had received a direct instruction to do so. The Board was of opinion that a definite resolution had been passed, and reference to the minutes disclosed this to be the case. The Secretary will give the necessary instruction to the solicitors. Dr Frengley wrote stating he would visit Napier on 19th inst. to inspect sewer outlet. The solicitors wrote re ihe election of members of the Board under the new Act, and giving instructions. The Secretary asked for instructions regarding natives occupying reserves, Hardinge Road. He said h- 1 could find no trace of any lease being given <»f the land. Mr. Carnell said )>£ could remember the natives being given permission to build on the land. but. they had no title. Mr. Chambers moved that notice hv advertisement in English ami Maori be given that if buildings are not removed and rates paid by •January 31 sf the said buildings '.vilj b“ removed or demolished liy the .

The Railway Department wrote regarding the proposed measures for }>rov:dmg adequate opening for rhe Tutaekuri river at Taradale Read. ( the same subject Messrs Ken neily and Co. wrote stating that tlu'V were of the opinion that the railway needed immediate protoe-: tirni Mr J nil thought the time had , i nine when they should take some: definite action. He moved that the| Harbour Board disclaims any re-j sponsibilit.v. I

Mr Carnell seconded pro forma, [ 'wt he thought he Board was re- j ponsible owing to having altered! .he course' of a rher. | Mr Chambers urged eauc.oa - i the matter. Possibly some action might save future cost. The motion was put and carried. The Minister of Internal Affairs .wrote stating that consideration would be given to the request for I reduction of the fee of £l5 charg-‘ ed for the testing of two weigh-! bridges. | The H.B. Harbour Ratepayers’ Association wrote thanking the "Board for having the borings made in the inner harbour. The Association also suggested that if port and, country cargo were taken to Port! ALuriri the “E.” shed would be j large enough. The Association! further wrote making charges of j unfair treatment to carriers at the! port, and alleging impartiality of! officials. —All letters were received. The Union Shipping Co. refused t • pay £126 6s for damage to Glasgow wharf by the "Wairuni.” On the motion of Mr Clarke the Chairman and Mr. F. W. Williams be empowered to discuss the matter with the Company and act. Messrs F. G. Smith and Co. complained of the imposition of 10 per cent, fine on overdue rates. He stated he had posted his cheque on 15th inst. Mr Jull asked if the secretarjhad any legal power to enforce a ten per cent. fine. Under the old Act such power was not given, and I under the new law due notice ha<* | to be given of intention to enforcesuch fine. He suggested that the legal position be ascertained, anw if the secretary was not legally Tight in collecting the fine the money be returned to all who had j paid during last year. All he wish-1 ed was the legal opinion. ! After discussion it was decided to alter the resolution to read only t-. secure legal opinion, and this was carried. Mr. R. Northe wrote stating hoi had signed the Board’s voucher without prejudice. Dennison and Co. (Leeds) wrote sending particulars of overloading; detectors for cranes. —Considera-1 tion deferred. I Ellison and Duncan wrote askings for exemption from goods ev Wan- j aka on August 30th last. The! block was caused by night work, for which the Board was responsible. The Secretary said the night work was for the convenience of the ship. The first ship was knock-1 ed off to work the second ship. If I they had had enough men they! could have discharged both ships. | The Board was not responsible for] - Mr Jull said he would like to get I to the bottom of the matter, and! he thought the secretary’s report on the matter should] be forwarded to Messrs.
