THE RAGLAN ROAD.
Raglan is at last to emerge from its state of isolation, and to be connected by land as well as water with the surrounding country. While Raglan, longer .settled, has been kept in a state of stagnation by want of road communication, largo districts have become peopled and settled almost at its doors.' 3uC between the two was an impracticable range and a mere mountain road, which cut off communication for- all practical purposes. For some time past "we havo persistedly urged the prosecution of the work which will be this week commenced for the connection of Raglan with the Waipa, and it is with no small gratification we refer to our efforts in the past now that all difficulties have been overcome. That easy communication between Raglan and "Waikato veill be a matter of mutual profit and benefit to the two districts is a matter so patent that we need scarcely dwell upon it. Raglan will become a pleasant sea-side resort for visitors from and before next summer has fairly s«t in we trust to see a daily coach runing between the railway station and Raglan, as now in other directions.
