CORRESPONDENCE

Under no circumstance is the Editor res ponsible for the matter contained in correspondence.

A KIND HINT. (to the kmtor.) As a recent visitor to your springs, it h a matter of astouisiunent to me diat no steps are taken to make public the ■wonderful curative properties they possess. From what I have seen and heard of them, there is no doujt they are a mine of wealth in the townsh:p, and yet it is only by accident one hears of them. The benefits which would ace ue to the district by the regular and systematic publication in the Auckland Star or other leading papers of the means of access from Auckland, the accommodation to be had, &c, appear to be either entirely ignored or lost sight of by the parties primarily interested, viz., the hoiel keepers. It was announced the other d.iy that return rail-w.-iy tickets, available for a month could now be had at reduced rates, and yet beyond the fiVst announcement by the railway authorities, no means are adopted to keep the facts hefoie tne public. There is a constant stream of visitors from the Australian Colonies to Auckland, many of them CMiiing here for the the treatment of those very ailments for which your springs are a speciic, many of such visitors are precluded from a visit to Rotorua either on the score of expense, on by their being too weak for so long a journey, and I am sure that the visitors to Te Aroha would in a short time be quadrupled by the adoption of the course I have indicated. Trusting these hints will arouse your people from their apathy. — I am &c, Visitor.
