FREEZING WORKS PROPOSAL.

(To the Editor)

Sir, —(.'an you spurt' a Httle of. your valuable space, for a large object. 1 refer to the free/.ing works, which, from time to lime, your paper mentions. il" such a muen-ne«'*l-ed industry isvor becomes a reality the question of site should lie the first question to bedecided. Now, on look-ing ai. a map of the disirict, with thai object, in v;e\v . there is one suitable place, a hove- all others, ami that is 'IV -Puna Point. l''o>* many reasons the proposed t-ite at, Maungunui cannot compare with the abovo. Uue very serious dra-wimek is the open nature oi" the country to the westerly winds, which will greiUly hamper shipj.ing, etc. 'i c Tuna has a deep water landing, which, with a small outlay, could accommodate good sized steamers. The question of water, -100, i.mst enter largely into an undertaking of this kind ; that also can be socunM from uever-failing streams close at hand. Timber, to build with, will soon bo at hand in large quantities. I refer, to the. Whakakamaroma :>.\ itdkate. who propose to run «. tramline to the I'oint. close t o the nniiu road. There is also the'direct road from Matanmta,. Cambridge, i\nd a vast tract of country to be drawn from on that side. The site is right ou the much-discussed railway to Waihi. and we can rest assured the Auckland end will not let 'lisborne gel in first. There is better lund for re-> tain ing- pa-cldocks, which will be. nei'ded, and lots of other advantages too numerous to waste your space on. And why N"elsoiv 13)"os. 7 ('uukl not onoiigli capital bo raided in the Hay of Pient.'y, in the way of shart-s, to establish v. works of our own?
