DREDGING THE BOAT HARBOUR.
TO THE EDITOR. . Sib, —With regard to “ Observer’s ” let* ter in your issue of yesterday’s date, I would like to explain that I was under the impression that everybody who was at ail interested in boating or Harbour Board affairs would have realised that I* eouid not have possibly made the statement attributed to me in the local referred to. Consequently I did not feel called upon to correct the report in question. What I did say wag that the dredging carried out hy/he Vulcan in the boat harbour had cost the Harbour Board about £725, in addition to which the cost of sending the new dredge Otakou to sea for spoil had been inciirred by the board during such time as the Vulcan was dredging in the boat haroour, whereas if the original pro-gramme-shifting the Vulcan to South Endowment or- Mussel Bay-had been carned out, the Otakou would not have been compelled to take her spoil out to sea during that period. It is’obvious that the Otakou could -not dredge out the boat harbour.—l am, etc., Dunedin, October 1. J. H. Dnxcvx
