CARLYLE CEMETERY RESERVE.

Some time during last year complaints wore made ns to the neglected and disgraccfid condition of the Cemetery,through fence being broken, and pigs being allowed to run free over the graves. Mr Shenvood, as Chairman of the Town Board, communicated With Government* and obtained a promise that £SO should be set aside to be spent on the Cemetery Reserve. As the promi.-c had not been fulfilled, Mr Sherwood, on his lute visit to Wellington, again spoke and wrote on the subject* tbe result of which will bo seen in the following correspondence.= Government It nil dings, Weilingion, 20th December, 1877. Sir, — I beg respectfully to draw your attention to the subject of my letter of the ISth June last, re fencing of burialgrounds ; and to inform you that the rccpiest contained therein* lias not complied with, although tbe sum saiy was promised by Dr Pollen. Th matter has been inferred to the Carlyle Town Board, but they have declined to take action,- having no funds at their disposal. I beg to suggest, that as those who arc buried in the graveyards fell in the defence of the Colony, the responsibility of keeping the gTounds and fences in repair, should rest with the Government, and not with the local bodies. As chairman of the Carlyle Town Board, I am willing to undertake that the work shall be done in a proper manner, on condition that the Government provide the small funds required,I have,- &c.,
