q. Om readei's will see by to-day’s issue lluit a final met Ping, to consider Mr e Id ham's proposals re the t stabL'shmont of moat tinning works, is to bo held on Wednesday next, at Mr Cuwern’s warehouse. The question is now narrowed down to a single meeting, the die is to bo cast irrevocably on Wednesday next, and tho future of the district, whether it is to be advnucemeut and prosperity, or retrogression and adversity, must largely depend on the outcome of that mooting. We tire told on very good authority, that a decided revulsion of feeling is setting in at Huwera, in favour of supporting tho works where ever they may be situated, as graziers are beginning to fully recognise the importance of works being so placed as to enable the Proprietor to manipulate produce with the least possible cost. If this bo correct, there need be no fear of failure, as with anything like reasonable assistance from the ilawera County, the necessary bonus will be raised without any ti-ouble and the works will be assured for the season now close at band. We understand that on Wednesday next Mr Oldham brings with him a pradical freezer, who will also be present at the mooting, and will be in a position to give information re ativo to either freezing or cooling, not only meat but every description of marketable dairy produce; so that if tho scheme is fairly started, it is not only tho grazier, with his herds of fat cattle ami Cheep, bm also tho small farmer with his two s and three’s or score or two, ar tho case may be, and his keg of salt or case oi fresh butter, or package of cheese, that is interested, and will be bums diately bcaelltted by the establish meat of the proposed works It becomes indeed, exceedingly difficult to toll who will not bo so benofitted, if we except the outside buyers or their resi dent dealers, and this is precisely the class of mou whom our graziers art* not specially anxious to benefit. Com petition, is tlio lli'o o 1 ti-iido, and it is abundantly clear that tho man v.hase works are within driving distance oi tho graziers paddocks can afford to muko buying beef an exceedingly interesting undertaking for any dealers who have to forward their purchase by ship or rail; indeed, the lemdin and unloading, into and from, eithe train or steamer, with tho harassing and bruising which are inseparable from .such work, of itself moans to the grazier quite an important item on ]i year's transaction. Every settler, therefore, g; aider or no grazier, farmer or no farmer, is directly or indirectly interne ed in the earl}’ establishment of the proposed works in our distinct; and such being the case, wo hope one and all will do his and their utmost to prevent the reproach and loss, consequent on tho non-establishment of such an undertaking, failing on this most favored portion of a favored country, by giving freely and quickly, everyone according to his moans.
