OPUNAKE HARBOUR LOAN
PETITION AGAINST SCHEME. Ratepayers of the- Opunake Harbour district are circulating a petition to be lodged with the . Local Bodies’ Loans Board as an objection to the proposal of the Opunake Harbour Board to raise an additional loan of £30,000 to complete the Opunake harbour works. The petition, it is said, is being widely signed in the country districts The petition outlines 22 reasons for objection to the scheme, the main contention being that the port cannot be completed for the sum estimated and that the trade prospects do not warrant the additional expenditure. The petition suggests that the lack of export trade and the strong competition of other transport agencies, such as good roads and railways militates against the chances of obtaining payable revenue.
