THE TWO PUBS.

Sir,— The reply to the able letter signed signed "Moderation," in one of your last issues, written by a perion who, under the norn de plume of •' pro bono publico," would have us believe that hn writes in the interest of the pubho weal (which n, no doubt, true in one senst) is, m all others false, and intended to mislead. That more accommodation in required, do one can say with any truth That the majority of the settlors andJ.P'sare in favor df a second Hot use, is also untrue. That the amount of work in the buildiug Hue at present being done is so great, U a great mistake, as there are only two buildings of any account at preieut m courso of construction, viz : the Bank of JN'cw Zealand and the Wesleyan Chapel, and lastly, that Kihikihi is only a quarter the size of Te Awamutu, ißthecluuaxtoan uupiiucipled letter, as anyone who knows the two places is also aware that it has far more hou&eu in it than Te Aw.vmutu, and alsohas a Mac ri trade, which , that place has not. Iv conclunion, let us hope that the corrospondenc-i on tbia feubj^ct shall bo of a truthful character in future, and that "Pro Bono Public" will pr csed proceed to prove, by his influentially *iyned memotial, that another house is wanted. — I am, &c , NlNutx.
