Timber and sugar values clash in harbor board dispute
A reader challenges Mr. E Hunter's timber export figures alleging misapplied totals and contrasts cedar and other logs with sawn timber exports. Calculations show cedar logs worth £13,140 and other logs £253,838, plus sawn timber value near £519,738 over five years, versus total claims of £1,170,442. The letter criticizes the board and asserts sawmillers, log dealers, and sugar interests each push separate agendas and warns of economic impact on local workers.
