j "The- day has arrived when we | should consider our policy of re- ' trenchnn n.t,” said Mr. J. J. I.angridge. at- to-day’s Napier Harbour Boibiii meeting. He considered that(yen salaries might have to be affected. No other members commented on the question. At to-day’s Napier Harbour Board meeting a letter" was received from the Chief Postmaster, Napier, expressing satisfaction on the celerity of berthing the Arahura, by means of the “hlip hook” (invented by Captain White Parsons), and stating that- the< saving of time enabling the connection of mails was of considerable value t-o the Poverty Bav district. A somewhat unique application from the Napier Borough Council came before to-day's Napier Harbour Board meeting. The Council asked that 15 to 20 acres of land adjoining the High School site be reserved for an “aviation ground.” The chairman (Mr. A. E. .lull), said the Board desired to be alive to future developments, and suggested that before kite land was otherwise disposed c-f it .should be offered to the Council as desired. This was agreed to.
