TIIF: ltoaoouii BAR. —Some little time since the Quay
Trustees accepted the liberal offer of Sir Ivor Guest, Bart,
to contrilinte 1:1.000 towards the improvement of the
entrance to the Harbour, and • few days ago the Mayor
(Mr. F. Styring) received • letter from Sir Ivor, in which
was enclosed a cheque for the amount. Writing on this
question the Poole !Weald says It is • matter of congrat-
ulation that the work already done by the Committee
appointed by the Corporation is proving very effective,land
that already a greater depth of water has been obtained
in the channel leading into the harbour. An improvement
such as this is not only of local hut of national importance,
and we think it is the duty of the Government to give
assistance. If they would make • grant of couple or three
thousand pounds, or give a loan, say of 1.T.,000, on easy
terms, our harbour might be made one of the best on the
south west coast.
