TUTUKAKA WHARF
DESIRE FOR REMOVAL. i I PRESENT LOCATION UNSUITABLE j | A deputation of settlers asked the | Whangarei Harbour Board today to ' remove the Tirdikaka wharf to a i more useful site in the harbour. | Mr McKenzie said the best site was at Maori Bay Point. At present the I’wharf was useless, as it had no ac- \ cess. In regard tp revenue, there | were seven wolgrowers in the district, who would send at least 80 j bales of wool a year, in preference to /the more expensive way of carting 'by land and rail. There would also )be a considerable quantity of man'ure. The secretary, Mr Fraser, said that the revenue from the wharf for ten months had only amounted to £1 18/6. It had been placed in the wrong position in the first instance, though not by the Harbour Board. It was impossible to repair the old access road. f The engineer was instructed to | submit a report as to the cost and I likely revenue.
