(To the Kdltor),

Sir,—!nyourlisueof August22ndlsan article headod " I'ukekoha and Waluku railway condemned." Now, air, before any woislit U Riven to that condemnation It >uuat bo consldorod Irotn whonoo It proceeds. The mootlnp; called by the chairman of tho Pukokoho UlKhwny Board wan for ratopayors of thut district, and by such lc was imiluiy attended, and thoae within a mile or two of tho matlun; there wore al«o a few from the Groat souiU Kond. and only myself and another or two from Minika. It was dootded on the motion of Mr frond to malco lea publlo mootintt, The first anti-rail way resolution emanated from two gentlemen who are within a few yards of the station, and who oertalnly would not nao the proposed railway onoe In the year, tho seoond one from the Great South Road. Now 1 think it will be admitted that tho promoter* oC the meeting and tho resolutions went rather out of their way to Injure thoir neighbours of Mauku and Waluku, and as 1 stated at the meeting it wna a very uolllih more on tho part of Pnkohoho people to try and BtoD us havlog the sumo sinvnntuuo that they enjoy, and I think they might havo left it for up, ob their eldo, to deoldo which would suit us bust, a railway or a road, I would ask what baa made Pukekoho what It now la bat tho railway 3 Wbyßhouldtha peoclo of that pare wlfli to atOD Maunu and Watuku having the sumo ohanou! but I tear selMntnrest is at tho bottom, an what would be oar advnntuKO would bo to them a disadvantage.—Yours, So..
