Mr Allan On Cameron Street “Cut”
Dissociating himself with • the remarks of Mr J. A. Finlayson, Mr R. H. Allan congratulated the engineer, Mr W. M. Fraser, on the plans prepared for a proposed canal to be cut below the Cameron Street bridge. In discussing the lease of a fishshed, Mr Finlayson had suggested that the proposed changes would probably not be made for eight or ten years. Mr Allan stressed the value of the proposed canal, in so far as it would help to prevent silting of the town basin. Further, he said, the’ A. and P. Society proposed holding summer and winter shows on the Hannah Street property it had acquired. The canal would bring in reclamations enabling the A. and P. Society to expand. “The Harbour Board would be doing a fine piece of work in putting through this cut and reclaiming land for the borough—indeed, for Northland,” Mr Allan concluded.
