COLONIAL DEFENCES.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Auckland, July 12.
At the Harbor Board meeting yesterday a telegram was read from the Lyttelton Board suggesting co-operation to effect adoption of Scratchley’s recommendations rt defence of the four principal ports. The Mayor stated that the defences proposed for Auckland are insufficient, Commodore Erakine, of H.M.S. Nelson, having informed him that long-range heavy guns are necessary. It was finally resolved to co-operate with the Lyttelton Harbor Board, and urge the Government to erect a battery of heavy gnus at the north head.
