TE AWAMUTU NEWS. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
The Highway Board. It is said our potentates of the Road Board here are, as I announced before, at a deadlock, the legality of the election of the present trustees being di&puted There were six candidates for the Board of five, two being for Te Awaniutu proper. These two went to the poll, and the present representative being defeated by a large majority refused to give up office, on the ground that the whole six should have polled and therefore the election was void. The caae was referred to head-quarters, and head-quarters it ia said, politely told the squabblers to settle their affairs in the beat way, they could, and not intrude upon the high and mighty ones of Wellington with anything so utterly beneath notice and so microscopical as their disputes. The rejected candidate then, I am informed, gave notice of his intention to dispute the authority of the present holders of office to draw cheques in payment of claims, and there the matter re3ts so far, and as it is a matter of interest to some, perhaps I mention what I have heard in the strictest confidence. — (Coi respondent, Sept. 7th.)
