THE ROADS.
Our Native friends are informed that a road is about to be formed from the Waipa river, Upper Waikato, to the settlement of Raglan. The necessary arrangements as to surveyors and engineers have been completed, and the work will be proceeded with immediately. We consider it a most advisable step that the Natives who originated the idea of opening up this line of way, should have determined to commence their operations on the Waipa side of the country. Certainly this is a step in the right direction, and shows, clearly the mature judgment of Wiremu Nero and bis associates. The Government has very liberally met the wishes of the Maori in this matter, having engaged that a sum of 4s. per diem shall be paid for all Native labour. The Natives, therefore, who wish to be employed on this roadway will simply make application to Mr. Gorst of Otawhao, or Mr. Armiiajre of Raglan. °
