NOXIOUS WEEDS.

REQUEST OF HINEMOA SETTLERS. The Clerk of the Pahiatua County Council, forwarded to the meeting of the Masterton County Council, yesterday, the following letter which had been received by that body from Messrs C. Cox, Turkington, Checkby, Hind and McLaughlan, settlers of Hinemoa:—"The Tiraumea River and its tributaries in the Masterton County are in a great many places studded with noxious weeds to the water's edge, which are mentioned in your Weecb Act. The recurring floods in this river are continually carrying fresh seeds from the Masterton County and depositing them on our lands in your County, causing us considerable unnecessary expense in complying with your Weeds Act. We respectfully request your Board to ask the Masterton County Council to include in their Weeds Act the weeds and shrubs mentioned in your Act, to save unnecessary expense to all holdings on this river." The Pahiatua County Council asked the Masterton County Council to declare as noxious weeds the full list in the second schedule of the Noxious Weeds Act 1900, as has been done by the Pahiatua County Council.' The Chairman moved and Cr Welch seconded, that the Council cannot see its way" to adopt the second schedule of the Noxious Weeds Act 1900 at the present time. The resolution was carried.
