HANGATIKI.
(Own Correspondent.)
Like most coming places Hangitiki goes to sleep during the winter. Last week a great deal of water was lying about, and everyone wishing to get to the station had to pull off their boots and wade. I will not tire my readers by airing the willow question again. Let them think of the wading mentioned above.
Mr B. Dunning has sold his farm to Mr William Comer, who will take possession shortly. Mr Dunning and family intend going to Auckland and will be leaving this district before long. Most of the timber near Hangatiki, in the valleys of the Mangapu and Mangaokewa, has been purchased by an Auckland firm. A mill is to be erected about a mile from the station, and there is considered to be enough timber to keep it going for twenty years.
Prior to the installation of the tablet system on the railway line, two new houses are to be built for the extra hands required by the department.
