TOWN CORRESPONDENT.! j Last evening the settlers held a ' meeting at Mr Pedersen's- house to consider the question of the establishment of a cheese factory on the ; block. ' '.'.' ■ ' ■"- j Mr J. H. Erskine presided, and 13 ; settlers were present. Mr Black, of Taranakij attended, and outlined certain proposals "for the creation of a ! cheese factory, and these were accept- | cd. The site of the factory will be on Mr Buckmaii's property, closfe 'to the station. , The meeting afterwards discussed the question of a school, and it was decided to make a canvass for probable scholars. The names of 25 children were enrolled, and the eh airman was instructed to obtain the'signatures of parents, and to make application to the Board for a school. About 20 chains of metal are urgently required on the new road. The road is now almost impassable, and what it will hff like when the rain comes is enough to make one shudder. Unless this piece of road is ! metalled' at once, it may j)re\ r ent set- i , tiers from taking their milk to the' , factory in the spring. I understand the now name for our settlement will be "Matapera."
