MASTERTON TO PONGAROA.
The Masterton Chamber of Commerce, on the motion of Mr G. C. Sainvmerell, has set up. a committee to report upon the practicability of tsta Wishing a daily mail service between Masterton and Pongaroa by coach, There can bo little doubt that ©noli a service, if it could be secured, would be an inestimable boon to a large number of settlers in the Alfredton, Rakaunui and Pongaroa districts, for it would place them in easy communication with wholesale houses and a thriving market town. The difficulty will be, not in securing a suitable route, but in maintaining ( it in the winter months. Most of the country beyond Alfredton is of papa formation, and is very liable to slips, while metal is exceedingly scarce. This difficulty may be overcome in time, as it appears to have been overcome in the Pahiatua. connection.
