PORT CHALMERS NEWS
WATERFRONT WORK With the wharves at Port Chalmers bare of shipping, there is practically no activity on the waterfront. A lai’ge number of waterside workers was engaged to assist in discharging cargo from the motor ship Taranaki at Dunedin, but the majority of the waterfi'oixt men has had to book elsewdiere for employment this week. The Lower Harbour, however, will be busy towards the end of the month, when five large overseas vessels will be loading for England. The Akaroa is due on March 18, the Waimana on March 23. the Port Cai’oline and Benmohr on March 24, and the Hertford on March 27, The Benmohr. Port Caroline and Hertford will sail finally from Port Chalmers for the United Kingdom. SLIPS ON ROADS Slips which occurred on several roads in the borough as a result of the recent heavy rain arc now being cleared away. The heaviest slip was on the Cemetei’y road, which was blocked to such an extent that an alternative X’oad had to be used by traffic. There were several small slips between Port Chalmers and the Spit, but these did not interfere with traffic. On the other side of the harbour a large quantity of sand was carried across the road near the Kaik, and a large slip occurred in the vicinity of Harrington Point, where a rock over a toil in weight came down and blocked the road.
