The adjourncd meeting of tho ratepayers of tho 261 hj (or Palea Bast) Road Board, for the election of seven commissioners, which,was fixed for Saturday last again homed for want of a quorum, only four ratepayers putting in an appearance on this occasion. Owing to the apathy of those interested, it now devolves upon (lie Sup •rijiteodeut to nominate, a Board and impose the minimum rate provided for in ilie Ibili section of the ordinance.

We have been re .winded by our Wairoa com-.spondeutapf an important omission which we inadvertently made in bis letter published in our last issue. The, extract .".bridged from Iho (JUnjo Wl'ac-i-i would make it appear that only 13 ploughs compelled at Tukomab'ito, whereas no less than til compelilors were induced to put in an appearance for £32 against eight at Wairoa, j‘uf £52.
