in rUL LI'IIOK.

Sir.--■ Permit nw to add my voice to that of your correspondent in a recent Issue of the "Chronicle" regarding the disgraceful state of the approach to the railway station. I am a new comer to the town and was much struck with the manner in which one has to clamber between trucks and over the railway lines in order to reach the station. It is certainly time tUe residents made stcoug representations to the authorities with a view to having the inconvenience remedied. In addition to the inconvenience there is a strong'clement of danger attached to the proceeding.—l am, eUu, SUFFERER. TO THE EDITOR. | Sir,—ln reply to a letter signed F. Elwood, that appeared in your columns 1 would like to point oat an error or two. Mr Elwood says that adequate notice was given to settlers re closing the Kaeaea poetoffice. That was not the ease, as 76 per cent, of those using the office were present or represented at the meeting that was reported, an»l not one knew of Mr Elwood's intention to have the office closed, until it was too late to arrange for the mail to be received elsewhere. The Chief Feetmaster wrote also that he bad not bad notice. Further than this, the settlers were awaiting a reply to a request for a salary for the postmistress, as a result of a motion aV * meeting at , which Mr Elwood presided. If a reply* was received why was a meeting not called to consider it; if, on the other band a reply was not received I then why was the office closed until it was forthcoming. The correspondence Mr Elwood refers to is a true report of, the meeting in question.—! am. etc. CO-RESPONDENT.
