AWAROA MATTERS.

(to the editor ) Sir,—A letter appeared in your iast week’s issue purp »rting tj bo written by a settler in the Awaroa valley. Evidently your cor e-pondent knows very little of tbe settlers in that valley, or he would have been aware that there is not one of them who would write and abuse in the columns of a newspaper their Council representative, effpeoiilly when he has only just returned from a long stay at the Hrmilton Hospital. Your correspondent has evidently been off the track in more senses than one, as there are no four or five trees to be climbed over. As regards tbe mail service: one per week is at present all we can reasonably ask for. We were under the impression tbe district already “where the cows tail is,” mm sly, in its proper place. If your correspondent thinks he possesses an energy we lack, let him pursuade the Government to widen the road and deal with tbe Maori question in a businesslike way. He will then find tbe settlers prepared to do their fair share towards public improvements.—Yours, etc. THE SETTLERS OF THE AWAROA VALLEY.
