The Pahiatua Star. (Published Tuesdays and Fridays.) TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1886.

(tRK\T dissatisfaction is expressed in Woodville at the action of the Paliintua Road Hoard regarding its refusal to allow the Woodville-Tiraittuoa Association to supervise the expenditure of its deferred thirds. The feeling runs so high that an attempt will be made to separate the Association Block from the l’ahiatua Road District, and this we feel sure is not a step that is desirable. The Association considers, and with a great deal of justice, that their works could l.e supervised far more satisfactory by one of its members, who would be continually on the spot. It is also argued that the Board's overseer has far too large a district to attend to, therefore he could not give any great attention to one particular part. We do not feel disposed to hastily jump at conclusions; Tint would suggest that the whole matter be reconsidered, as under the present arrangement separation is bound to follow. The chief obstacle that seemed to stand in the way of the request of the Association being granted was that the Board did not know its legal position in the matter, but from enquiries made we are in a position to state that no exception would have been taken to the Board's action had it acquiescod in the proposal. Looking at the question, then, as one that effects the whole district, we have no liestation in asking the Board to reconsider the matter.
