WHARF FUNDS.

(to the editor ) • Bia, —The attempt which ie being made to appropriate £6O or more of the funds of the wharf trustees is being met, and I think justly so, by much opposition. If the wharf was a purely local concern and bad all the necessities for the convenience of the commercial public its absorption would | Dot be bo iniquitous ; however, these 1 monies have been collected from the j residents of the district for miles round, and they should have a word I about it, and what is more they intend I to have one. The road in question will oertainly better one or two persons and give them a much-to-be-desined frontage to their sections. This road should be made by the Government. About twenty years ago the Government soldover £BlOO worth of sections in Kawbia, which cost them (including all expenses of survey, etc.) under one-fifth of that amount. It was promised that roads would be ?ade and streets formed forthwith. bis promise still remains to be performed. I do not isk that the • £3BOO which justly belongs to Kawhia • town should be all expended at once ; | the tenth part of that sum would put a Dew face on our town and I csD upoa the Government to keep the promise made. The £6O in hand should be expended on a derrick or crane and improved shed accommodation, for which latter the Northern 8-8. Co.’s officials are continually crying out. — Yours, etc., TOWNSMAN.
