THE HARBOR.
(To the Editor of the Herald.) Sir, Referring to tho remarks made at a Harbor Board meeting regarding the “remote possibility’’ of firms giving up the contract after a time, does any one in Gisborne with any common sojiso at nil think for one moment, that firms of the financial standing of Messrs S. Pearson and Son, Ltd., Messrs Armstrong, Whitworth and Co., Sir John Jackson, and Son, Ltd., Messrs Norton, Griffiths and Co., Ltd., etc., all of England, would tender for the construction Of Gisborne harbor and then ' throw up the sponge. Its more than they dare do and ono cannot make out people stating such an eventuality as this; it js absolutely absurd, to say the least of it. Has the new engineer been permitted to look at Awapuni Lagoon as recommended , by the t late member of the Bay of Plenty as the only spot where a decent harbor should be built? —I am, etc. , “MUTUAL.’’
