MEETING AT WAIHOU.

The adjourned meeting of settlers and others interested in starting a * creamery* at Waihou, was held on Wednesday evening last. The inclemency of the weather no doubt prevented many persons from being" present who otherwise would have attended ; however, some en»ht or nine had put in an appearance by the time the, meeting opened. TUe Chairman (Mr R. Parr}, stated the meeting had been adjourned from the 20th ult. , till that evening, in orJer to obtain from Messrs ,Reynolus and Go. all the information possible relative to the establishment of a creamery, but up to the present no raply had been received, and consequently nothing more coald be done in the matter until such reply came to bund. Mr C. Collins stated he hod seen the Commissioner of Crown Lnnds re a site for the factory, and he told him (Mr Collins), how to make application. He had made the application to the Waste Lands Bonrd, Auckland, and had received a reply to the effect that the section would have to be gazetted. Mr Juckson suggested that the meet • ing be further adjourned, in the meantime the Chairman to write Messrs Reynolds and Co , and obtain all necessary Information re the starting of the factory, and ascertain whether they (Reynolds and Co.) would find the machinery, or the settlers be required to find it ; and on receipt of their reply j that a meeting be called. By adopting this course they would know what grounds they were working on. Mr Collins : A3 Mr O'Donoghue has written to Reynolds and Co., and he is not present, it would be better for the Chairman to wait until Mr O'Donoghuo returned home and ascertain if he had got a reply ; if not then the Chairman could write at once, and have all tbe necessary information ready by Saturday 14th, and he now moved : That this meeting be further adjourned until Saturday, 14th inst., at 8 o'clock sh.irp. Mr 0. McCabe seconded the motion, which was carried.
