NAPIER HARBOUR BOARD.
A STATEMENT WITHDRAWN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. • Napier, Aug. 18. At this morning’s meeting of the Napier Harbour Board the chairman, Mr? A. E. Jull, stated that he carefully withdrew any statement he had made in Napier on April 1, 1915, imputing that the Minister of Marine was unfriendly towards the particular harbour under construction. Mr. Jull was reported then as saying: “It is a very unfair position to make an inquiry when it is known that th»> Minister is unfriendly to a particular harbour construction. As a general principle an officer, knowing his chief, will colour his report to satisfy big chief. lam not saying that Mr. Furkert did it.”
