NAPIER HARBOUR.
AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
(Por • Press Association.)
NAPIER, March 21
The following motion was carried unanimously at a meeting of the Napier HarDour Board to-day: "That in order that doubts as to the origin of the sand bar referred to by Messrs Maxwell, Wiliams and Mason's report, and in Mr. Geo. Nelson's harbour proposals, should be cleared up; and in order that the likelihood or otherwise of any channel dredged through such sand bar being wholly obliterated in heavy weather being given a series of practical tests; the Board considers it desirable to charter a suitable dredge for three or six months for the purpose of dredging out a sufficient channel to show what effect heavy weather or floods would have upon it; and that the Secretary be instructed to obtain all information by next meeting as to the terms upon which a dredge can be obtained upon in the Dominion, and how soon."
