“WHAT’S IN A NAME”
NEITHER CLIFFS NOR CASTLES’
A SUGGESTED CHANGE. “There arc neither cliffs nor castles, unless the latter are the Board’s castles in the air,” wrote Mr F. A. Harkness to the Harbour Board last evening in advocacy o£ changing the name Castlecliff to something else. The chairman said that there was a strain of commonsense in the letter, which he thought that al. they could do would be to speak of it as the Port of Wanganui. Mr Bassett: Call it “Tho Outer Harbour.” The chairman: But it isn’t an outer harbour. Several of the members suggested that “Port of Wanganui" shoiM apply to the whole of the wat<wfront, including the Town Wharf The chairman invited the members to think over the question of a suitable name.
A member: Call the upper end the “Port of Putiki.” The chairman smiled, and said he was afraid that that would not b< suitable.
