SMALL BOAT HARBOUR.
NEEDS AT ST. MARY'S BAY.
PETITION FROM THE CLUBS.
RIPARIAN RIGHTS 'QUESTION.
Brief reference to the petition of various boating clubs, asking the Auckland Harbour Board to convert a protected moorings area at St. Mary's Bay, Ponsonby, into a boat harbour for yachts and launches was made at the meeting of the board yesterday afternoon.
The Boat Harbour Committee submitted a recommendation, "that, if and when the -unrestricted riparian rights of the properties fronting the proposed boat harbour at St. Mary's Bay, Ponsonby, are extinguished without expense to the board the board will consider the question of building a boat harbour at tho site."
It was recommended by the same committee that consideration of the letters from the Auckland Rowing Club and the Waitemata Boating Club with reference to new sites for their rowing sheds be deferred for six months.
These recommendations were adopted. It was agreed to provide for the Akarana Yacht Club a site with 40ft. frontage, 200 ft. from the north-east corner of the reclamation immediately inside the eastern breakwater, a license for seven years to be granted at an annual rental of £10.
