MANAWARU.

("From our own Correspondent.) The mornings are often very cold and foggy. Speaking of fog, I am afraid Central, when he Begins giving Manawaru items, is very much Befogged. In the first place there is no School Committee at Manawaru at present. And if the meeting was convened By Mr Whitburn it was not the wish of the majority of the settlers. As most of them think it quite an insult to the Chairman and Committee of the Te Aroha West district. Wh n the Man* awaru school is finished I should think the key will he given over to the Chairman of the Te Aroha West School, under whose care the Manawaru district is at present. Then he and the committee will decide about the opening of the new school at Manawaru. Most of the Manawaru settlers regret that anyone should be so presuming and officious as to interfere with the proper authorities. Before they petition the Road Board to- open up a new road they must be sure of their ground, as where the road.comes out on to the main road is just a mileto Mr Knight's eorner, and does not touch his ground at all. A short time ago I said there- wererumours that a new creamery would Beopeued in the neig hbourhood. What was then a rumour is now an accomplished fact,, as Mr Walker is Building one on- the east side of the river. The new Bridge at Bhaftesbury will give the settlers on- the-west side of tho riveraccess to the now creamery, the store and post office at Shaftesbury.. With so many creameries in the district I should think the price- of milk must go up, which would Be a great Boon to the fanners as they are very much under-paid for their work at present.
