TO THE TOWN BOARD.

Sir, —It has always been a matter of f*urj rise to me that when tbe township of Ka*hia was sold by the Government that there were not more reserves made in the vicinity of Jervoia Street. This matter was no doubt neglected on account of the fact that the Government knew the sections would be eagerly snapped up, and thia grabbing will seriously affect the future Kawhia. When the place becomes populated, as it must become, there will probably be a brass band staried, and one of the essentials to the usefulness of this body is a rotunda from which point of vantage music could be discoursed. Or again, there might some day be a memorial stone erected to the memory of some great name, and it would hardly be in keeping to place it in some back street. At the present time there is a small section opposite Mr Jonathan’s store that apparently belongs to no one in particular and every one in general, and has already been tbe subject of much quarrelling. I would suggest that the members of the Town Board act as peacemakers between the various parties by applying for it as a town reserve, which, I feel sure would be readily granted. It is au open secret that some of the residents are prepared to give liberally towards improving this place, one I know of going as high as £5. Hoping tbe Board will move in this matter.—Yonrs elc„ TOWNEY.
