Asliurst Notes

[from our. own correspondent, i Mr Eeeve, warden of No. 6 ward, addresses the ratepayers to-night .in the Dramatic Hall, Ashurßt. There will now be no election necessary, Mr Sanders' nomination being informal. Mr Reeve will no doubt be well received by the electors, as we ail remember that at the public meeting about removing the toll from the Gorge bridg* Mr Keeve showed himself thoroughly acquainted with all details, financial or otherwise, of his wnrd, and has also, since then, made his words good, when he said that as funds allowed he would catch every opportunity of forming and metalling the town roads, and he has done so. The Bis&op of Wellington has been approached in the question of aopointing a resident clergyman to Asburst. Through an oversight in the E.%'and C. Aid Corporation offices, we are now beginning to feel a great inconvenience. Two sections joining the Pohangina rond and Stanford street were to be reserved from sale to form a connecting road between the two streets—but they weren't. The consequence is ihat now they are fenced and built upon there is no outlet to the centre of the town. The school committee last year were asked to allow a turnstile to be put into the back fence — so that children who live close to the back of the school should not have to go round by the hotel to get to school. But the proposition did not meet with favour. This year candidates were nominated who were favorable—but they were defeated at the election. The next meeting of the Committee will decide whether the wishes of a number of the people will be re* speeted by giving the required turnstile or fencing off a 6 feet way through the school sections, which, run alongside where the road should have been.
