Saj's the Hot Lakes Chronicle : 1 The announcement that Mr .1?. D. Dansey, chief of the local postal department is about to be transferred to Waitara, will come as a surprise to residents here. Mr Dansey has been associated with this district for close on thirty years, and during that time duties have been thrust upon him entirely outside of his routine work. He passed through a great part of the troublous war times, and since then has satisfactorily arranged many complications between the Government and the natives. It was only the other day that we quoted from a Sydney contemporary an acknowledgment of his heroic behaviour when the Tarawera eruption was in full blast. The various public department*, notably those administering the lands, the public works and the native lands purchase, have also availed themselves of his knowledge of the native character, and it seems hard that when he has identified himself so closely with the district that his connection should be eevered at the eleventh ho'ur. There are cases—numerous cases —when the removal of a, Government official is an advantage to, the public. This is an exception, however, and we trust that in the interests of both residents and visitors the matter may be reconsidered, and that the ties which bind Mr Dansey to the district will not be ruthlessly broken. *1 have used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in my family for years and always with good results,’ says Mr W.
