£500 MORE
FOR STEWART ISLAND WHARF. As a result of the petition signed by all the adult residents of Stewart Island praying for an additional grant of £2,000 for the new wharf, the secretary of the Southland League received a telegram from Mr J. R. Hamilton, M.P., stating that £5OO more had been granted. When the petition was sent Mr Dick communicated with the Southland M’s.P. asking for their support. In his telegram Mr Hamilton states: — “I have been working hard during the week endeavouring to get the balance of the money required. The Marine Department have promised a further £5OO and the Tourist Department may possibly find the remainder.”
