Carter who interested himself in putting it in train deserves •thethanks of the community.—“We the undersigned, hereby pledge ourselves to act as a Provisional Committee for the purpsse of forming a company for laying down a tramway from Wellington to the Wairarapa district, at Masterton, as shown on plan by Messrs Charles O’Neill and Ben. Smith, Civil Engineers, said trainway to be called the “ Wellington and Wairarapa Grand Trunk Tramway,” with a capital of £120,000, in 12,000 share of £lO each, with power to increase to 34.000 shares.
