GOVERNMENT HOUSE SITE.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —My surmise, which I wrote to the Premier during last session, that our next Governor will be a naval officer of high attainments, will, I feel sure, be carried out, and for that reason alone the Government House grounds must be maintained intact against all interference, as he will require to spend most of his time here conferring with the admiral stationed here initiating a naval base. The whole of tho Auckland members should unite demanding a sum of £10,000 or more being spent in providing an up-to-date residence for the Governor in the Auckland Domain, known as the Government House grounds, for it will be wanted in the future as the residence of the Governor when Auckland again becomes the political as well as the commercial centre of the Dominion, which it must become as the years roll on out of sheer force of population and representation.— I am, etc, P. E. Cu-EAL.
