THE BIG PUMP.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sib, —Prom the report of the meeting held in Auckland on Tuesday re the Pumping Company I see that an unsuccessful attempt was made to exclude the local bodies of the Thames fiom having any control -over the expenditure on pumping operations unless they agreed to become shareholders in the company. This the representatives refused to do, and I think they were wise in the course adopted by them, for the former partnership was anything but satisfactory, the local bodies being called upon to pay three fourths of the entire expenditure without their being able to stop what they several times thought extravagance in the management. I believe it will bo found for the benefit for the various mines interested, and for the good of tbe field, that the local Lodies should hate some say in how the money that they have been a&kedto subscribe is spent—to the best advantage, which was not always the case in the past.—X am, Ac,
