AUCKLAND RIVER LIMITS.

DEFINITION OF NEW LINES. NOTIFICATION BY DEPARTMENT. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON, Thursday. The question of river limits and extended river limits is a live one in the waters round about Auckland, where launch-owning settlers and proprietors of other coastal craft have from time to time agitated for greater freedom of movement. The Marine Department now notifies that it revokes the warrant of May 22, 1925, in which the limits were defined for the port or harbour of Auckland within which restricted limit steamships and ships propelled by mechanical power other than steam and to which restricted limit certificates are issued, might ply. In substitution for the revoked warrant the limits are defined as follows:

"The river limits are inside the Rangitoto reef, Motukoreho Channel, Motuihi Channel inside a light line drawn from Home Bay point to the northern point of the entrance to Maiteatea Bay, Tamaki Strait not beyond Koherunui Point, and inside Waiheke Channel. "The extended river limits are all those waters of the Hauraki Gulf inside a right line drawn from the north point of Cabbage (Colville) Bay on the Coromandel Peninsula to Shearer Rock, off Tiritiri Island, and thence to Tawharanui Point."
