Otago Dock Trust..

The Act for the formation of an enlarged Graving Dock at Port Chalmers, and for vesting in trustees certain endowments and powers to enable this important work to be carried out, was duly passed during the last session. Some delay has arisen in giving effect to the same, owing to the Government requiring actual proof of the present dredging operations being able to effect the needed deepening of the Bar before handing the endowments over to the Trust.
