Two State Experts To Report On Opua
(Special) KAWAKAWA, This Day. An intimation that two experts, one technical, the other financial, would be coming north to investigate the position of the Bay of Islands Harbour Board and the port of Opua was made in a letter received from the Minister for Finance (Hon. W. Nash) at the board’s annual meeting.
Names of the experts were not given in the Minister’s letter, which stated that they would be coming north shortly. As a result of later information received, the board expects them to arrive in the immediate future, but their pei'sonnel is still not known. The two experts will, it is understood, go into the board’s finances and examine the harbour facilities in the light of the request made to the Treasury for £15,000 by way of compensation for loss of revenue due to the Government’s diversion of overseas shipping from Opua to Auckland during the war.
