NAPIER HARBOR SCHEME.
AN ADVERSE REFORT. [Per Press Association.] NAPIER, Sept. 4. The report of Messrs. Maxwell, Williams, and Blair-Mason, engineers appointed to investigate the harbor scheme propounded by Mr. George Nelson, is adverse. It refers to the difficulty of maintaining the channel free from a sand bar and sand drift, whilst the engineers consider the “risks and doubts attending the formation of a deep water basin inside so considerable that it does not appear to be a scheme which commends itself.” Summarising the report, the engineers state: “Our final recommendation is that the Board actively push on the completion of the breakwater harbor in accordance with the -plan attached.” The report definitely endorses the prosecution by the Board of the breakwater scheme, and is emphatic in confirmation of the policy so long advocated by Mr. J. V. Brown (chairman), and Mr. McYev and party.
