OAMAKU, August 27. THE DAMAGE TO THE BREAKWATER. At the meeting of tho Harbour Board to day Ihe secretary reported upon the injury dono to the breakwater during- the late gale. The injury, in addition to the tearing off of the iron rails, consists of the destruction of four monoliths about tlio middle of the broiikwiitov and tho subsidence of four othors at the end of the structure. To re pair (ho damage will cost only nbout £2000, lnil probably 1 great or expenditure will be ent.'died in order to so strengthen the break witter Hint n tvourivnuo »f similar injury will be prevented in future. Taking nil things into consideration, the damage to the break water is n very small affair, but unta-tuiiatoly the llnrhotti' Hoard have no funds, and more dtilletiliy to get the necessary numoy than to perform the. work of elVeetitig repairs will be experienced.
