Pohangina Notes

LFROM OVB. OWN COBBESPONDBNT.J Mauy of the Wanganui Harbour Board Small Farm Association members are annojed because the re-surveying of their Block is not being proceeded with. Et seems to have been a question of votes at the meeting. If all those who wished to have their back pegs put in had attended the meeting, or advised the Chairmau, the issue might have been different. It is quite probable that several of those who voted against spending those few peace per acre to have their boundaries satisfactorily determined, will regret their action wheu they go poking about up one hill and down another trying to get a straight line. It is neyer too late to mend, and the Chairman tells all who wish to suryey now to let him know at once in writing. I have heard of one party taking an ex-surveyor up, aud even he could not find his front pegs. There is a petition going round and is numerously signed, protesting against the removal of Constable Brown. The late Mr Macarthur was at some pains to get a policeman appointed. Certainly Ashurst and Pohangina are well conducted parts of tho country, and there is not much need of an officer but you know — when tho cat is away, etc. There are a lot of boys growing up— T bog pardon — young men about here, who, I suppose, are the same as young men at other places. The sight of the helmet and buttons alone haye a restraimnginiluence. The Pohangioa Eoad Board is taking advantage of such dry weather as we have had, and in cleaning out the. drains on the swamp road near Mr Hopjpnsl T^e. men have to take care or they might gq out of sight; the mud and water together is as black as the fabledfStyx. The Secretary of the Small Farm Associations in answor to enquiries says that the lithograph plans haye not ar» nyed yet. The Pohaugina Mail bag is getting tq be of quite large dimensions. Tho settlers up nvor aro talking of their rights, and j want some sort of delivery.
