THE DANNEVIRKE DEPUTATION.

[To The Editor.] Sir, — I Wave to thank you for the ( honour of the •publicity of a. smb-leader in your influential journal of to-day's date, .but you are, wrong in your facts: —l nvas not a deputation of one. Diinnevirke liad expressed a desire for a conference, 'as the issue appeared obscure. I undertook on my own- to meet the deaders of the local .bodies to clear the way. I fancy I have made the matter la'bsdlutely 'clear to' 1 the people of Dannevirke and adjacent districts' that t l lie deputation, wo .seek to build Tip idoe® 'not go down to make or imar a' [particular Down, ibut .is asking .for .something 011 'broad principles, something that any other part of the Community can ask for, with a ptossiIbiJity of getting, viz., light, lateral feeder railway lines. Tlianking you in anticipation.— I am, etc., J. OSBOiBINE LILLY. Baihiatua, July 15th, 1912.

(The Dawnevirke paper aia not describe iMr Osborne-Lilly as a, depiittatiion of more than 'one. We should be pleased to publish fhe names of Qiig co-deputationists, if be would 'send Itfhern. along. If Mr Osborne lilly ,went to Uannevirke solely for the purpose of clearing the way concerning some mtysterious deputation!, why did he introduce the subject of .the Masterton-Waipukurau project? (What has this line to do with Pahiatua "feeders" or Os-Iborne-Lilly lateralis" ?~Ed. Age.)
