POSTAL CHANGES. INDIGNATION AT TE AROHA. (BY TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Te Aroha, this day.
No mail to Auckland to-day from To Aroha ! According to present arrangements* the mails from and to Auckland are only on the days the train runs through. The action of the authorities savours much of boycotting the place. It is bad enough to cut down the train service to tri-weekly^ but this Itist move odds insult to injury without a shadow of excuse, seeing that Gallagher, coach proprietor, offered to run a coach conveying mails to meet the train at Momnsville on the days not connecting Te Aroha for the modest sum of a guinea per week. The Postal Department replied offering the magnificent remuneration of ten and sixpence per weekjust half— for covering the fourteen mileß daily. Very ctrong feeling exists in the matter. At a public meeting last evening resolutions were passed unanimously protecting against the postal airangements and ifTwns also resolved at the same meeting that Government be petitioned to provide a better land tenuro for the township.—Auckland Star, Tuesday 25.
