Then as to Assessors, they are also very necessary, but not so much so as the Police. I should recommend the appointment of young rising Chiefs, in preference to the old men, who I do not think would be offended at being passed over, if the matter were properly explained to them. For instance I don't think Apiata or Ropiha would be offended if Nopera and Paul were made assessors. Paraone is a man whom I would appoint, but I should be disposed to associate Herui Waiparera with him. The names I should recommend are Henare Koura, Paora Ropiha, Nopera, Hiri Nia Nia, Paraone Hakihaki and Hemi Waiparera, for my District. The expense would not be very great, as I know that some and probably the majority, of these men would decline pay.
