Mfc Bunny wa? appdinted 'cnßirm.an,'and-.ißaid,'in the. proceedings,.thaihe and Mf iMoMaater had called the ratepayers together in consequence of a petition .-which had been presented to the Masterton Highway Bojrd.at its last rneetingi>asking for-a refund of certain moneys from that' ward tO'%.,4Ward. It aopearedvthat Mr Buchanan, when elaied'wahltii; -had arranged with Mr Norman Befitham," the then warden for No. 4 Ward, that the rates derived from the Tiipurupilru p'to-. •perty most of which was iti Na^Wrdfri sliouldbe considered a'B.belongihgto.i\o, 5, and (his- arrangement Vas'; acknow- j ledged by the 'Boardj ..and^lao'ty.. Mr Yallance, now representing All of those present, • knowing' the >sitionof thia property would a;'ree with .luiii In, thinking that, if thia petition were granted, it would prove a case of great injustice to them., ajid . he would.suggest 'he appointment of a deputation to the Board to point this out/ ' Mr. Buohanan would doubtless give them, a fuller account of the exact state of affairs. Mr. Buchanan stated that shortly after his election as warden, discovering that the chief portion of lub property waa in No. 4 ward,' and knowing thut.he .would never, from the natural feature of the country, ■ he able to make use of any - roads in that' ward, and that the natural nutlet was through No: o ward,'he. raade an arrange- • ment with. Mr Norman Beetbam,- which was agreed to by the Board, by virtue of! which, the whole of the rates derived from his property \ were handed over to Ho. 5 ward. Afterwards IVlr' J. 0, Yallance became warden in succession to Mr Beetham. He. (Mr Buchanan) had pointed nut this arrangement to him, and he had acquieeced.in it. Since this some alterations nf boundaries in the district had been.agreed to bj the Board, and steps had been taken , to legalise them, and he -got: with about 3000 acres of the' Brancepeth property, included in No.'s ward, aWl' but for this petition it would before this have j been gazetted. Mr Buchanan then read the petition and Baid that it was only juatige to. Measra 'Beeth&nr'to state that they did not altogether agree with it, but had signed it.for the purpose of getting the question ventilated.- He (the speaker) thought .all ratepayers were equitably entitled to rates paid;bf them, and, following. .thiß'-up,'-'Nbrs-w'ard was undoubtedly entitled to .rates derived from his propei iy. He thought the suggestion of.the chairman re a deputation, was the best course fchej 7 could pursue. Mr Hugh . McMaster then .; moved 'the followiug'reaolution, which was seconded by Mr J. Coorerand« carried :—"-That this meeting . having heard tlie petition •recently presented by certain, ratepayers of No. -4 ward,'-express-the strongest astonishment at the injustice- contenipla. ted ; that 'rates derived, from this part of the'disirict, should be claimed for roads, which from the nature »f' the country, can never be used by the' rate-'' payers of No, 5 ward, and that the fob rlowing gentlemen Wait on ttie Board at its next meetiny to present this resolution-; Messrs Ciioper; Strang,' Yentiell, Bunny, and the mover."
