NEW COAL PORT PROPOSED
Auckland. Aug. 11. A motion urging the Government to give serious consideration to the provision of an all-weather port for the Westland district was passed by the Auckland City Council. The decision was made “in view of the fact that delay in supplying timber and coal to Auckland is in many cases caused through conditions existing at the present port."
Before the council was a letter from the president of the Westland District Progress League, Greymouth. who i stressed Westland’s need for an allj weather deep-sea harbour, and said it I was suggested that this harbour should ! be built at Cobden, almost alongside the present port of Greymouth. He submitted for consideration a resolution passed by the league in which the Government, in collaboration with the people of Westland, was asked to choose a site on which the Government should construct a harbour as a rehabilitation work. The passing of a similar resolution was requested.
