servations necessary for the construction of a harbour at Jackson’s bay, in South Westland, the Minister fnr Public Works (the Hon K. Semple) indicated that a report would be obtained on the timber resources of the district before it was decided to construct a harbour. “The building ot a harbour is under consideration,” said the Minister, “and we are getting a report on the timber resources there to see if it is economic to build a harbour. If the timber is worth tapping and shows promise of n decent return to the nation, it will be favourably considered. Hut we must be quite confident that it is justifiable to spend money on development there.’’
