KING COUNTRY REQUIREMENTS.
TE PUHI AND HURIMOANA. Some time ago representations were made by the people of Te Puhi that a change in the name of the station was desirable, as it was frequently confused with Te Puke in the Bay of Plenty. The Minister for Railways has now informed Mr Young, member for the district, that the name Te Mawhai, which is already applied to the post office at the railway station, has been adopted by the railway authorities. He has promised that the provision of a goods shed, small cattle yards, and a landing bank at the station will be included in the list of urgent works for consideration next year. The Minister says that at present he cannot appoint a caretaker to the station.
Writing to Mr Young, the Post-master-General stated that he will accede to the request of the Kio Kio branch of the Farmers' Union and extend a telephone line to Hurimoana, near Otorohanga, provided the settlers contribute a lump sum of £lO. As there is a Hurimoana post office in the New Plymouth district, the department has selected the name Ranginui for the proposed new office.
