Messrs HeatliCote and Msdsey started operations this Week at their newly erected flaxmill (on Malsey’s farm, Waiorongornai). The motive power is siippMed by a four horse portable steatn engine, purchased from Piako County Council some lime ago (having previously fornrted part of the tramway assets), The plant has been specially erected with a view to being easily removed from one place to another, so as to avoid as far as possible the expense of carting the raw mateiial long distances. There is a sufficiency of flax on Mr Mnisey’s farm alone, however, to supply nil requirements for several months to conic. In our last issue we [published a report of Mr Henry George’s recent address in Auckland, With respect thereto a correspondent writes ns follows : “In your report of Mr George’s address last Saturday, he is represented as saying that “ 10 years ago Sir George Grey gave the people of this colony that which would have made them tlie leading English people in the wor’d— the right of the single vote." What Mr George was referring to was obviously the fax on unimproved land values imposed by Sir George Grey 10 years ago, and what Mr George really said was that “10 years ago Sir George Grey gave the people of this colony that which would have made them the leading English people in the world— the germ of the Single Tax." Hoping that you will find spate to make the above correction, etc.’’
