CONFERENCE OPENED. (Peh Press Association.) WELLINGTON, October 19. The eighth conference of the Harbours Association of New Zealand is being held to-day. Mr J. G. Harkness presiding over abcr.it forty delegatee from different harbour boards. In moving the adoption of the report Mr Harkness said he hoped that pressure would be brought to bear on the Government to have the necessary amendments made to the Harbours Act which might have a beneficial effect on the whole of the Dominion. The times were strenuous. The effects of the war remained and they had to face the position with true courage. They had had no legislation einee 1910. For this reason they wanted necessary amendments. The motion was carried. Sir Francis Bell (Minister of Marine) attended the conference. He said iti was hopeless to encourage the belief that Parliament would have time this session to make alterations in the Acts affecting harbour boards. It was proposed instead to consolidate the existing Acts during the recess and next sett, sion to present a Bill covering the whole position with the adoption of as many remits and amendments as Parliament should deem fit.
