ATTENTION is hereby drawn to an error contained in

in New Zealand Gazette No. 47, 18th June, 1925.

Paragraph 3 should read, “These pile beacons have been
placed so as to provide a transit line parallel to the wharf-
face and distant 400 ft. from it.” (Not “200 yards,” as is
stated in that notice.)
