Macau intended to carry the mail to the whareama. by tin Blairlngie road at aoon M it was tit to ba traversed, The Chairman explained that d hit Ingestion,representatives of the Castlepoint and Maatorton, Highway Bimrda were present with a view, to adjust with the Council the question of boundaries. A deputation then waited on the Council. .■, ■ '. Mr Hawkins put in tho following resolutions of the Castlepoint Highway Board .Blsowirig what course that Board was pre■pared to take.;: ',' that the resolution passed at the last- | meeting of thia Board in reference to the petition of tho Upper Taueru settlers .fyeing unsatisfactory, this Board are willing to accede to the prayer of the patitioners providing that tho whole of, Mr Mace's .property as abutting on the main road. Masterton to Castlepoint remain in tho Castlepoint District! That two members attend the next .moating of the Wairarapa East County Council, on the .18th Sept., for the purpose of adjusting the new boundary line between this and the Mastertun district. Cr Smith wished to know the origin of the preposal, Mr Hawkins said that the origin was a petition from the Upper Taueru settlers for a new ward which would not be oart in one district and part in another. The Castlepoint Highway Board ayreed to this if Mr Mace's property was excepted. Mr Buchanan said the question before them was not that of the original petitioners,' bnt of some additional properties which had subsequently been named. "The alteration would'give the Jtasterton Highway Board fifteen miles additional road, and one third of this mileage would be used by Castlepoint residents who would not contribute townrds its msintenance, He thought there should be '» 'power to adjust differences like this, between local bodies." The year before last ■' the road being closed for five months by bad weather, the Oastlepoint traffic passed over 10 miles out of the 15 proposed to be transferred, Tho addition to rates by tho transfer would not amount to more than £IOO. Mr Williams said that there had been no meeting of the Castlepoint Highway Bard since the further quest in | hud been prqposed. He thqiight the Board in (he prsf instance fas willing to oilher include or- exclude Mr • Maces' boundaries, He considered Masterton was as much inter: ested in keeping the road open as the Caiflppoilit ppople wave, and tha.t any benefit of the district, deprecating any attempt on the part of any body to secure as m,uoh rates and get rid of as much road reiponsibiljty as possible. He pointed out also that a block of acres belongMr? [ he Cagtjepp'jnt district had been from a blunder included in the Masterton Hiahway district. Mr-Buchanan understood that the 1474 acres had been paying rates in error tn the Masterton Highway Board, but that they were within the proclaimed boundaries of the Castlepoint Highway Board. i Mr Meredith stated that two of the fesidentsin t(iepaatlpppint district whom jie-.represented requested' that their properties might'be included in the Masterton Highway Board. This application did not conflict with the one made by the Upper Taueru 'settlers but whilo boundaries wero being rectified, it was desirable that it should be considered. Cr Smith suggested' that a sub-coin-miJtep"of the Qo'unci) bo »»pojntß(j' to ppfain information, ani} report to 1 the next meeting'of.the County. ' .

These settlers had brought their business in a regular form before the Council, and it ought to be settled.
