It was pointed out that Mr'J. B. Henry had strongly recommend a survey of these parts, and that Mr Morgan, on a flying visit, had reporter favourably. It is satisfactory to note that the Minister #as now instructed Mr Morgan to make a detailed survey of the district.

Valley to Weber are of considerable importance, and that their development would be of., immense: value to the Dominion. The report of Mr Morgan will be awaited with much interest. ' '
