A very lively meeting of the Finance and Legal Committee of the Auckland Harbour Board was held, when the committee considered the annual address of the late chairman, Mr W. Crowther, M.H.K. The discussion on the speech was long, and it is asserted that members waxed very excited over Mr Crowther's address. Eventually it was decided to recommend that it was not necessary to print the address with the annual report as usual.
