Pohangma Notes.
It is to be hoped that the Gorge bridge will be re-erected, as the ferry arrangement is expensive for regular travellers and for farmers driving stock. Again, if this bridge is not re-erected we shall be practically cut off from the West Coast. Should the authorities decide to abandon this bridge, it will entail great hardship on the settlers up this way who wish to go to places on that side as it would entail a long trip out of their way. Settlers who want this bridge should combine together and lay the matter before our M.11.R. and the Government as forcibly as they possibly can. I would suggest that those interested call public meetings in their respective districts and formally petition the Government to re-erect the bridge, We have not yet heard the formal report of the Government Inspector re the site of the Pohanema bridge. This matter has ' hung fire' long enough. — Standard. ________„____
