NAPIER HARBOR BOARD.
(Per Press Association.) NAPIER, this day. The recent reductions m the Harbor Board's tariff were to have been, adopted at yesterday's meeting, but owing to an informality the question was deferred. Country members, who are strongly opposed to the reductions, declare that the whole of the proceedings are informal, and that they will fight it out when the question comes up again. . ■ ; The Board decided to erect a cargo \shed at the root of the breakwater, which will obviate the necessity of everything being taken to the Spit, and will greatly lessen the cost. Complaints i were made that the Government had not done justice to the port, for, although they drew between £70,000 and £80,000 m duty, they refused to give Hie attendance of a Customs officer at the breakwater.
