BY ROAD OR SEA
PRODUCE FROM MOTUEKA (From Our Own Correspondent) At the last meeting of the Motueka Harbour Board the question of the quantities of produce conveyed by road to and from Nelson cropped up and the opinion was voiced by two or three members that the Harbour Board must be losing between 50 and 100 tons of goods per week. It was pointed out that large quantities of empties were received at the port, and that these had gone out of the district full, but not by boat. Mr Everett considered that on a conservative estimate at least 5000 tons of goods per annum were conveyed by road, which should have passed over the wharf. It was resolved (Messrs Everett and Calder) that the Nelson Progress League be informed that in the opinion of the Motueka Harbour Board a conservative estimate of goods carried by road to and from Nelson was 5000 tons per year.
