The mailman has slopped the trap, and taken to the pack-saddles again' The Minister for Public Works drove through on Wednesday. He stayed a short time here to hear, and if possible to redress, grievances. The grievances were numerous and terrible. Every individual had an nxc to grind. The .Minister promised £IOO more for widening the Okau Houd, and £75 for a foot bridge across the river into the Derwcnt Settlement. Others he Oatly refused. Mr Jennings, the Member for this district, has "visited ttcry corner of , his electorate, and has done all that Be can for the welfare of his constituents, and this windfall of £l7.j from the Hon. Hall-Jones will, in k a small way further assist them. There is too much of this (ift track business with nodrainage in this part of the country, it is drainage that the roads re luirc. Nothing is nt tended to now but grade and batter. There are large blocks taken up now right through to the railway, ' and'thes=c will revert to the Crown unless the roads are improved. The schoolmaster has gone to Australia, the school being shut up for the present.
