WAIROA.

[feoji our own correspondent.]

Mr Hill, the Inspector of Schools, has just paid us a visit for the purpose of examining the schools in the Wairoa County. From what I can hear Mr Hill has been much gratified by the marked improvement in the work of tho scholars. A public meeting took placo in the Clyde school-room on Thursday night last, _to frame a series of resolutions embodying the wants of the district, to forward to Mr Locke fer presentation beforo the Parliamentary Committee appointed to enquire into the grievances of the East Coast. Resolutions were passed asking the Government to form into a dray-road the bridle track between Te Roinga and Waihan—a v distance of six miles. The Government wero also asked to proclaim the road from Mohaka to Napier, via the coast, as a main road under the Public Works Act. It was decided to ask Government to spend tho sum of £1500 voted two years ago for the improvement of the Waikare Moana road.—lt was decided to ask the Government to appoint a Resident Magistrate for the district in the strictest sense of the term.—The following resolution is an important one, and therefore I give it in full:—" That the Government be asked to furnish through the memher for the East Coast an estimate of the amount of revenue derived from the Wairoa County in the shape of taxation, or from other sources during the last five years, and the amount expended in the Wairoa during the same period." —It was also decided to ask for increased post office accommodation in view of the telephone service shortly to he established between Clyde and Erasertown. Mr Large was deputed to forward the resolutions to Mr Locke, which he did lw wire The following telegram has been received by Mr Large :-" Have sent your report to Joint Committee on East Coast Affairs ; other matters shall ali be attended to.—S. Locke."
