PIAKO. (From Our own Correspondent.)
I have again been through the Piako, th c country is locking very well, most of the settlers are very busy ploughing or clearing laud ready for the ploughThere will be at least twenty ploughs at work next week. I was very glad to notice that five of the bridges are now completed, the bridges have been built for some time, but the approaches were so bad as to render them useless, they are now repaire d, and the bridges are passable. The settlers have made application to the School Board for assistance to build a School, there is no township laid out as yet, but a settler has offered a piece of land in the centre of the settlers at present located. There are twenty children old enough to be sent to school, and for whom capitation is paid. The great want in the district is cottages for labourers and their families. I believe it would be a judicious step of the Government to erect a few, the Piako must be looked to, to absorb a good deal of the labour we are importing, and until cottages are built, married men will not work there. •
