Oub local contemporary suggests that the Mayor of Masterfcon should convene a meeting, on the question of the extension of. the railway to Wpodville. It would he well, if this course is to be adopted, to get a requisition signed asking His Worship to call the public together. If a convenient day were fixed—say a Saturday afternoon—the members for the district, and the public men of Wairarapa South nijght be expected to attend, and so niajje the gathering as representative in its character as possible. We trust that a

question of vital'importance to the Wairarapa will not be allowed'to be shelved'through any'dispute as to who ought to call the public meeting to con : aider it.

.. We trust to see a full attendance at the; public meeting convened at the: Institute to-morrow .afternoon in connection with the overflow of the Waipoua. Local bodies as well as ..private settlers have been somewhat •negligent in the past in taking steps to prevent disasters from floods, and the severe lesson taught them the other day ought to be sufficient to rouse them to take energetic steps to provide against future losses.
