WOODVILLE.

[From an occasional CorrespondeM';] "We are getting up an indigaation meeting to protest against the recent action of the Government in removing the Resident Engineer, who had only lately arrived to lay off the Railway Station and complete the line. "We have been put off and put off repeatedly for the last fifteen months, that we had hopes of the survey being completed a telegram destroys them at a minute's notice. We hoar too that Mr Daniel Boss in tho 'Forty Mile Bush is being moved. The matter comes to an aggravating climax when we learn these officials are being taken to Taranaki—that magnet for all public works expenditure. ■l'heai that Pahiafcua.also is going to meet shortly on various matters. Bravo, Pahiatua! I fear you will have to renew the good namo you had once established for pulling together and taking an interest in public matters. Our lecal paper looks upon Pahiatua 18 a part of its country, and tries to make the wants of the district public. '.The season is far too wet to.expect anything very grand in tho way of burns this year. I think entire satisfaction is jxpresed at the suspension of the County, and every confidence placed in ihe Road Board that is to be. Thereis no reason why we should not find- a* sufficient number of intelligent settlers

to form a Board fully capable of wise] tlisponsing our funds, We aro antic pating tho delight too of seeing th local county rate expended in Pahiatu but are quite filled with remorse whe wo begin to think how poor Mastorto: will fare, and how the footpaths i: that town will be kept in order.
