OUR KUMAR A LETTER.
(our own correspondent.)
The many readers of your journal will I am sure, appreciate and assist in a practical way the movement set afoot hero towards helping Mr Patrick Tansey to pay the expenses incurred in the recent alleged salting case. It may not bo generally understood that the Government pay the expenses only from the time of committal. Seeing that not only is this district interested but also the whole of the Coast, and indeed the colony, the expenses incurred in securing a committal should be a public charge. That being so the gentlemen who have taken the matter in hand intend giving outsiders a chance of showing their practical sympathy with and approval of Mr Patrick Tansey’s action in having this matter sifted. At least ho should not bo made to suffer for what interests all.
There is a big day’s work awaiting Mr. Macfarlane to-morrow nt one local court. What with Okl Ago pensioners, applications and other eases it will take the whole of the-day and perhaps more. Not only in mere applications for dredging claims, but in the desire to prospect them is the industry as a legitimate enterprise making headway hero. A prospecting plant is in town awaiting removal to Payn’s Gully where it is intended to put down several boro holes on some properties held there. We are also to have in our district cho much spoken of Keystone boring plant. The locality where it is intended to prospect is on the Teremakau River about three miles below this township. I learn that Mr Robertson, late dredgemaster of the Totara, has been offered and accepted a similar position on the Greenstone Crock Company's dredge. An effort is to he made to once again galvanise into being the Young Mens Club. This club lias a literary and debating society supplied for a number of years a long felt want in tin's town. There is a. very good library attached, and for that reason above the club deserves a greater measure of support than in its latter days was accorded it.
