TIMARU HARBOR BOARD.

MEIIBEHB PBEBBST. Mr Moody (Chairman), and Messrs Acton, Wilson, Haye9, Kelland, Gray, Sims and Sutter. AHHTJAIi MEETING. The adjourned annual general meeting of the Timaru Harbor Board was held at their offices, Messrs Glracie and Co.'s buildings, yesterday morning, tho gentlemen named above being present; BEFOBT AHD PINASCIAL STATEMENT. Tho Chairman's annual report, and the statement of the Harbor fund account, assets and liabilities, shipping tnd Customs returns, &c, were laid on the table, and as each member had been furnished with a printed copy of them, they were taken as read. The annual report was as follows : — It is with much pleasure that tho results of the Board's operations for tho year 1885 are now laid before members. INTRODUCTION. I may be permitted to draw special attention to the following results : — 1. That the first loan of JJIOO.OOO has been expended on the works m a most satisfactory manner, all the improvements having been comploted within the estimates— no accidents of any kind occurring during construction, — and that the interest on the loan has been met from revenue, without encroaching upon the principal m any way. 2. The year 1885 has been the best, financially, that the Board has had. The tonnage — notwithstanding the decrease m aroa of crop m the district — shows an increase of 0000 tons over the avorage of the last three years, whilo tho gratifying fact appears m the revenue that the whole of the interest of 1885 (j65000) on the borrowed money has been mot from the year's profits. It would appear that the difficulties and doubts attendant on the early stages of experimental works have pretty well disappeared, and tho traffic of the district is centering where it onght to bo. In starting upon new expenditure and a new liability, I havo little fear that a similar result will bo fonnd three years henco when the increased shelter and facilities for shipping now entered into by the Board have confirmed tho Port's business, and stimulated the district .to &v increasing productiveness. There can bo little doubt that but for tho Bucces3 of tho Board's undertakings, tho producing power of tho distriot would have been (m snoh years of depression as we have had lately) but a dead letter, and the distriot remained m a vory unproductive state for many years to come. With a port m such a promising state, the producers m tho district may now look to being able to compete with any other port m New Zealand, for their share of tho bnsiness of the neighboring colonies and the United Kingdom. BttEAKWATEB AND WHARVES. The year 1885 has witnessed a far larger outlay m the extension of the harbor works than any previous twelve months ; both the breakwater and wharf contracts having been pushed on with vigor. Breakwater Contract No. s— For 500 feet extension of tho molo, which embraces the curve and part of the kant to tho north — was besnn m November 1883, and has now boon brought to a successful completion. A small addition of 8 feet beyond the .contract was authorised to enable a full length monolith to bo built at the end. Notwithstanding that tho angle at which the kant is boing constructed brings thn work almost broadside on to tho prevailing seas, ?io signa of weakness have bo«>me apparent ; it may therefore be assumed th it tho strength of tho structure is snfficiont. Plans and specifications have been prepared for an extension of the Breakwator, 250 feet, with power reserved on the Board's part to requira tho contractor to continne tho work at a schedule of rates, if deemed desirable. ; Tho present length of tho Breakwater is :— Approach ... " 150 feet. ; Mole on the straight ... 1259 „; Kant ' •■; _SOB „} Total ,„ 1017 feet.

The area of shelter, excluding water less than two fathoms deep, given by the 1917 feet of breakwater, is as follows :— Acres. Complete shelter 61 Partial shelter ... ... ... 54 Total 115 A contract has been entered into with Mr C. W. Turner for the supply of 2000 tons cement; the first delivery.to £>c mado m May 1886, m vessels direct from Home, making Timaru either a first or second port of call. The prioe per ton, <£3 18s lid, is considerably lower than that of any previous oontract. The appreaoh and 330 feet of piling for the Moody Wharf, Contract No. 8, have been completed. The work is, however, at a standstill for want of piles j tho contractor for tho supply of ironbark being behindhand with his deliveries. Wharf Contract No. J>, whioh is for 120 feet extension of the Breakwater wharf, was let on the 21st October ; 90 feet of the piling has been finished. It is expected that it will bo ready for the accommodation of shipping early m tho year. The available berthage at the wharf at the present time is 850 feet, and when the Moody wharf and Breakwater wharf extension contracts are completed, the berthage will stand at 1410 feet. The depth of water at the deepest berth being 22 feet, and at the shallowest 12 feet. DREDGING AND EECLAMATION. The Priestman dredge has been kept at work at intervals throughout the year, and has maintained tha deep water channel alongside the wharf. It has become apparent to tho Board, however, that to enable vessels of large draught to utilise the berthage and complete their loading alongside, dredging on a more extensive soalo wonld be necessary. Negotiations were entered into with the Lyttelton and Oamaru Boards, with a view to renting a hopper chain bncket dredge. The dredge owned by the Oamaru Board appeared to be tho most suitable for this Board's purpose j and an agreement was eventnally come to for the hire of the dredge for a period of abont three months. - . Soundings of the harbor were taken by Mr Goodall, and a plan prepared of tho work to be gone on with, which' will provide for deep water berthage for two vessels. It is expected that the dredge will be ready to begin operations about the middle of February. HABBOB. DEPARTMENT. With few exceptions all vessels visiting this port during 1885 have been worked at the wharf, the extension of the curve of the Breakwater, and the construction of tho Moody Wharf having so lessoned the range alongside as to render this practicable*. Of the 332 vessels entered inwards at the Customs representing 90,109 tons, 30. vessels of 9585 tons arrived from foreign or intercolonial ports. The principal portion of the coastwise traffio consisted of grain, wool, &c.,- in transit to large steamers and sailing vessels loading at other ports for the United Kingdom. It is also a pleasure to report that there have been no accidents to shipping m port during the year, and that since May, 1882, when the Breakwater was only about half its present length, there have been no circumstances calling for enquiry within the limits of the harbor (which inoludes a radius of 2i nautical miles ' from the root of tho Breakwater). The number of vessels arriving during this period have been 1083 of tho aggregate registered tonnage of 243,906 tons, including several vessels of over 1000 tons register. These results, with the fact that no accidents have occurred at any time to shipping inßide the Breakwater, tend to prove the efficiency of tho shelter afforded by the harbor works up to the present time. The steam tng Titan has done her work satisfactorily, and has also been of considerable assistance m laying and maintaining the moorings m a state of efficiency, thus saving a great deal of labor that wonld otherwise have to bo employed for this purpose. The Lauding Service nai only been used for working vessels when accommodation has not been available at the wharf, ard for completing the loading of vessels of deop draught m the roadstead. After tho month of February, 1886, the dredge will havo made sufficient depth of water to enable vessels to finish loading alongside tbe Breakwater wharf. Until dredging operations ore completed, the Landing Service will be kept m efficient order, to avoid delay to shipping when the berthage is occupied by the dredge. The question of the excessive rates of insurance charged on vessols loading at this port has again been before the Board, who iave made strong representations to the Marine Underwriters' Association, but without effect as yet. Since June the Board haveplacod the Lighthouse under the charge of the Harbormaster, the work of lighting and cleaning being made part of the night-watchman's duties. The lifeboat crew were disbanded on 30th September last, the date on whioh tho Board's subsidy was discontinued. In futuro, if on emergency tbe boat requires to be used, the Harbormaster has been authorised to pay a crew any wages whioh his judgment and tho occasion nay dictate. On 12th December the Canterbury — the first ship to load frozen mutton at this port — arrived. She took m 10,120 carcases, and completed her cargo with wool. Bvory prospect exists of the Canterbury being tho precursor of a large and continuous business m exporting surplus stock. A scheme for lessening the range alongside the Breakwater wharf, and thereby decreasing tho wear and tear upon tho hawsers supplied by the Board for mooring ships, and enabling vessels to remain at their berths during almost all weathers, was submitted to tho Board by Mr W. Watson, Lloyd's surveyor for Canterbury, and received duo consideration ; tho Board being inclined to give tho plan a fair trial. Tho Timaru Sea Bathing Company having applied to the Board for a site on whioh to constrnct a swimming bath, a suitable position was found about 500 feet to tho west of the Moody Jetty. The ground leased being abont 186 feet long by 120 feet broad, with a right of approach. Tho Company pay the sum of £1 annnally, and m terms of their agreement are allowed the use of the sito for bathing purEosea for a period of fourteen years — subjeot, owever, during the last four years of the lease to twelve months' notio9 at any time should the Board require the land for harbor purposes. FINANCE. The statement- on page 9 of this reporb shows the disposal of the loan of 1883, and that on completion of the wharf contracts m hand, there will remain an unexpended balance of £1487 19s 9d. Early m the year tho Board had under consideration the desirability of raising a second loan to enable them to prosecute the harbor works : and a Bill empowering them to borrow a further sum of jJIOO,OOO was introduced into the Legislature. The Bill was entrusted to Mr R. Turnbull, M.H.E., who conjointly with Messrs J. H. Sutter, and W. J. Steward, M.H.R.'s, and the Honorables W. Rolleston, M.H.R., and J. N. Wilson, and Lancelot Walker, M.L.C.'s, secured its passing. Besides conferring borrowing power, this Act provides that the Board's power of levying and collecting [a rate may be delegated to local bodies, and fixes the remuneration to ho paid. It also seoures tho representation of the ratepayers of the town districts which had withdrawn from the road districts within which ttoy wore previously situated. Immediately upon tbe passing of the Act, the Board by resolution agreed to the borrowing of a sum of .£IOO,OOO, and proceeded to take tho sense of tho ratepayers of the harbor district. Meotinga wero held m tho several Hidings situated within tho district, the first meeting being held on 16th October. The voting took place m the Ridings on 7th November, and m tho Borough of Timaru on 10th November, tho resnlt of tho poll being For the proposal ... 957 votes Against the proposal ... 93 „ Tho resolution m favor of a further loan of .£IOO,OOO, was therefore deolared to be carried, and gazetted accordingly. It has been agreed by the Board to place the floating of the loan on the London market m the hands of the Bank of New Zealand. On comparing tho statement of the ordinary revenue and expenditure for 1885 with that of tho previous year, it will be seen that whereas the rovenno for 1884, exolnsive of interest, was .£6323 la Bd, that for 1885 has been ,£8626 0s 6d, an. increase of .£2302 18s lOd. The ordinary expenditure for 1885 has been ,£3867 10s sd, as against .£3928 2s 8d for 1884, or a decrease of iB6O 12s 3d, being a net improvement for 1885 of .£2363 lls Id, exclusive of interest. The revenue for the year, .£8626, as stated above, together with receipts for interest; £1666 19s 3d, a total of £10,292193 9d, has enabled tho Board to meet all claims against it, including .£SOOO for interest on 1883 loan, and leave a surplus of .£I3BO 8s 2d. There has been a still further decrease m the wheat oxport of 22,(502 socks for thfr year ; bnt an incroa.se of flour shipped of 54,998 sacks, and of bran and sharps of 32,771 sapks. GENERAL. In May, the Board granted to MrJ. S. Gibson, one of its members, six months' leave of absence to visit England for tho purposo of recruitting his health, which had been failing for some time past: • Mr Gibson's oontinuod absence after the expiry of the six months' leave, compelled the Board m Docomber last to declare his seat vacant. Mr W. M. ' Sims has boon elected by tho ratepayers m his stead. The connection of Mr Goodall with the i

Board as Resident Enginoer which had been continuous since the inauguration of the works m October, 1877, was severed by his acoeptanc6 i of the appointment of Engineer to the Napier Board. An arrangement was. however, come to by whioh he has continued to act as Consulting Engineer, making quarterly visits to Timaru to report on the works. Statements and statistics showing fully the past operations of the Board are appended. I conclude with the hope that the duties of the Board may continue to be as successfully .exercised m the future as they have been m the post. WiMiiAM Moody, Chairman. Harbor Board Office, Timaru, Slst February, 1886. The following, amongst other returns, were attached to the above report : —

The statements were adopted, and, with the balance-sheet, were ordered to be printed. the cnAiHJTANsnir. Mr Moody, before vacating tho chair, thanked members for the support tkey had given him during the past year, and when Mr Sutter moved a motion that Mr Moody bo reappointed Chairman, declined to again accept the position. Tho Board, after passing Mr Moody a cordial voto of thanks, adjourned for five minutes, and on resuming Mr Hayes moved that Mr J. H. Butter bo appointed Chairman for tho ensuing year. This motion was seconded by Mr Wilson and carried unanimously. After Mr Sutter had thanked members, tho

ORDINARY MEETING

was commencod by the minutes of last meeting being confirmed. . COBEBBrONDBNCE. Letters wero read os follow : — From Messrs Kennedy and Evans, GisI borno, enquiring if the Board had surf-boats I for sale, and if so, to forward prices and particulars of same. Mr Moody eaid the information had been sent by the Secretary. From the Traffic Manager of the Now Zealand Railways, nguin calling the Boards attention to tho necessity for increased lighting on tbe wharves at nighttime to facilitate the loading and unloading of vessels, and to reduce the chances of an accident happening to a minimum. The letter was referred to the Standing Committee, but some members expressed the opinion that as the Railway Department reaped most benefit from working the wharves, they end tho ships worked should, as was dono m otuor ports, provide sufficient lights. From Messrs Jones and Peters, m reference to keeping m repair for threo months Breakwater contract No. 5. Mr Moody explained that as Messrs Jones and Peters had to do maintenance work on the contract named for three months from the date of tho completion of tho contract, ho had arranged with them and Messrs Polliser and Jones, that they should, if roquired, havo use of tho plant to make any necessary, repairs that might be needed, lie added that ths arrangement had been mode amicable by Messrs Palliser and Jones being allowed an extension of time on their present contract of fourteen days. He added that tbis wa3 the only satisfactory arrangement bo could make between tho parties, so that tho work should not be delayed. The Chairman's action was confirmed. From Mr H&rgreaves, elating that he hail delivered all the ironbark piles and beams, and asking that his deposit be .returned, and his previous application for extension of time favorably considered. Tho request was granted, the deposit to be returned m full ; this action to be without projudica to any contract. From Messrs Jones and Peters, asking that their . Into work on the Breakwater be measured along the centre, not on the inside of tho curve. The request was not entertained, as Mr Goodall wrote stating the lato contractors were not entitled to Buch measurements as the plans and specifications under which they tendered plainly showed tho work was to be measured on the inside of the curve. From the Secretary (Mr W. J. Torment) requesting the Board to give him a fortnight's leave of absence. The Board granted the application with pleasure THE LOAN. Regarding the new loan, tho Chairman took occasion to explain that during tho month the late Chairman being out of town had instructed him (Mr Sutter) to see tbe Manager of the Bank of New Zealand about the loan. He accordingly met Mr Chisholm and the Inspector (Mr Murray), and the/ assured him that it was no use the Board attempting to put their loan on tho market at £102, and that if the Board insisted on the Bank doing so they would have to refuse to transact the business. They pointed out also that it would very seriously injure tho floating of the loan wero the figures not lowered. He had accordingly taken the advice of tho majority of tho members, and they decided that tho minimum should bo reduced to £100, and tho Bank had since acted on this advice. Tho Secretary then read a copy of the letter Mr Sutter hod sent to tho Bank Manager setting forth what had been said abovo. Mr Wilson said he did not wish, to find fault with what had been done, but at the same time ho must remark that to his mind the Bank had taken too much upon themselves. It was useless the Board sitting there and passing resolutions fixing tho minimum if m the end this action was upset. In his opinion the Bank should have placed tho loan according to the instructions they received from the Board. Mr Hayes thought the Committee had been too sanguine m tho matter, and fixed the minimum at too high a rate. Mr Acton then moved, Mr Hayes seconded, and it was carried — "That the resolution passed at last meeting fixing the minimum of loan be rescinded, and that the action of the Chairman and members bo confirmed." The Chairman and Mr Acton explained that reducing the minimum would not, they were assured, adversely affect the loan, but ■was more likely to have the opposite effect — add to its success. THE CONSCMINO BNGINEEB. Mr John Gooaall wrolo under dato Napier, February 2nd, 1886, as follows :— " Napier, 2nd Feb., 1886. " To W. J. Tennont, Esq., I " Secretary Harbor Board, Timaru. " Dear Sir, — I am m receipt of yours of tho 20th ult., giving me, by direction of the Timaru Harbor Board, three months' notice to terminate my present agreement as Consulting Engineer to the Board, and offering me the appointment as Consulting Engineer at £150 a year, with travelling expenses. In reply I thank the Board for their courtesy, but beg to decline their preaent offer."

No action was taken respecting this letter. The following was next read : — Napier, 6th Feb., 1886. "W. Moody, Esq., Chairman, Harbor Board, Timaru. " Sir, — As exception was taken at the last meeting of the Board to my estimate for the No. 6 Breakwater contract, I think it is duo to myself to make some remarks with reference to it. I beg to inform you that engineers of reputation are m the habit of making their estimates from known data, and to the sum arrived at a certain amount is added for contingencies, and m the case of marine works, an extra amount for sea. risk is added. No allowance is made for what contractors might do m cutting each other down m their endeavors to obtain work. If wages go down, tho engineer takes th.at into consideration. In this case I am not aware that labor has gone down. I therefore adopted the prices I üßed for the prior contract and added a due amount for contingencies and marine risk and a little extra on account of the work being so much further out. It might then be asked, why approve of tho loweßt tender, so much below mine P My answer is that lTc23rs FaJiiser and Jones are known to be good men, and their cash deposit is heavy ; and if they chooso to take up their tender and a calamity were to occur they may be heavy losers, but that would be their affair. I think instead of attaching blame to me it is a matter of congratulation that the plans and specifications drawn out with due regard to strength and proper workmanship have inspired contractors to tender at bo low a figure producing a great saving to the Board. "There were other disparaging remarks made as to tho present conduct of the works. These remarks I flatly deny, and beg to state that however much the want of a Resident Engineer may havo been inconvenient to the Board, it has not up to the present time produced any ' slipshod ' work. " I am, 4c, " JOHW GOODALIr, C.E." Messrs Hayes, Moody and tho Chairman advised that this letter should not be printed, but as the opinion of tho whole Board was not taken and tho letter was read m open meeting, it is only fair to Mr Goodall that it should be published. The Chairman said the,mmarks tho Engineer complained of wore talSH''froni newspaper reports, and if he desired to make any explanation he should writo to tho papers. It was only a waste of time to discuss the matter at the Board meeting, as the -whole thing had beon discussed pro and con at tho last ordinary meeting. THE BAEQUB HUDSON. Mr John Inglis wrote under date Christchurch, Ist February, stating that at a meeting of the consignees and others interested m tho Hudson, it was resolved that tho Timaru Harbor Board bo invited to submit their claim to arbitration, and m the event of this not being done, tho claim be resisted and fought out m Court. Writing on the 22nd February, ho forwarded the following information : — " Referring to tho disputo between us, I find that I havo omitted to bring a point m connection therewith before your notice. On the morning of Friday, the 27th November, tho second day the Hudson was on shore, tho captain of the Titan was, by agreement, to have been alongside before high water, to commence towing m good time. I find that before ho left Timaru tho same morning he towed tho barquo Bells m to an anchorage ; the time thus expended making him too lato to bo of any service to the Hudson. I may also state that I havo abundant evidence to prove that he did not shift the vessel the evening previous. I bring these facts UDder your notice, thinking that you were probibly not awaro of the incidents. "With regard to your suggestion that an offer should be made to settle your account for services rendered, while I am of opinion that a less sum would be ample payment m consideration of your settling the matter, I am willing to pay you £150 for tho services of the Titan, etc., and also to allow you for any damage to tho hawsers ; such damage to be assessed by some competent valuer. This offer is made without prejudice to tho action now pending." After a slight discussion, Mr Hayes moved — " That tho agent for the Hudson be invited to meet tho Board at next ordinary meeting, m reference to tho claims made of the barquo named." — Carried. TUB DEEDGE. Tho lato Chairman roportcd that tho dredge Progress had dono vory satisfactory work sinco arrival, and that the report on her by Mr Jas. Davidson was a satisfactory one. He added that the dredge had been insured, at a cost »f £110 per month to the Board, for the throe months' engagement. The Clerk of Works reported as follows : — " Breakwater. — The works m connection with tho Breakwater, together with the Board's plant, having been handed over by the lato contractors, Messrs Jones and Peters, aro man cflicient state. Messrs Palliser and Jones, contractors for No. 6 contract, have been put m possession of the same, and since tho 12th instant, tho work of block-making and laying has been m active operation. Wharf oxtension contract No. 9 is well approaching completion, and should bo out of tho contractors' hands by tho expiration of tho contract time. "Piles and Ironbark. — Tho whole of the material contracted for by Mr Hargreaves, has now beon delivered, together with a Bmall additional quantity for contract No. 9. Owing to the unsuitablo nature of somo of tho material landed, and which had to bo replaced, tho contract time has been exceeded by 29 weeks. I believe that every endeavor has been mado by tho contractor personally to comply with tho terms of tho specification, and that tho detention was through causes ho was unablo to control. " Moody Wharf Contract. — Pile-driving has been resumed on this contract, but owing to a breakdown of tho engine, a few days' detention is unavoidable whilst a new casting is prepared." The Harbor Master reported that 30 vessels aggregating 8557 tons had arrived at, and 32 of 9949 tons had sailed from the port during tho month. Ho had, as requested by Mr Goodall, had tho area proposed to bo dredged cleared of mooring chains, and swept witli a small chain, no obstacle of importance being discovered. On February 13th, dredge Progress had arrived from Oamaru, and commenced working on tho 17th inst. Tho averago amount lifted by tbo dredge was 500 tons of silt per day, and this silt had been deposited at a point li miles distant, beariug N.N.W. from the curve of tho Breakwater. THE BKSIDENT ENGINEER. Thirteen applications were received for tho post of Residont Engineer to the Board, and after they had been fully considered m Committee, tho Board resumed ordinary business, and the appointment of Mr F. W. Marchant to the post was confirmed. ACCOTTNTS. Accounts amounting to £132 16s wero passed for paymont, and tho Board adjor^ned.
