TARARUA CLUB.
The- annual report of the Tararua Tramping Club contains (he following: "For some time past Parliament has authorised the expenditure of sufficient funds to enable the erection of a central hut near Mt. Hector and a suspension bridge over the Tauhercnikau river. Unfortunately the Minister ol Public Works has b-en unable to see his way to authorise the work to proceed. The. material t'oi the suspension bridge was purchased some time ago, nnd is in the hands of the Public Works overseer at Greytown. The cost of "•onstructing the bridge would be small. It, is probable that neither Mr Freeman nor Mr Kime (who lost their lives on the Tnraruas) would have died had the central hut been erected. It would cost less than £IOO to deliver at Otaki railway station (a hut built in sections) and the Otaki Club, nnd this club have undertaken to see to the transport of such hut from Otaki to the site near Mt. Hector and its erection on such site. Tt is to be hoped that the Minister of Public Works will now reconsider the matter."
