Mr. T. Jordan, Mayor of Masterton, when speaking at the harbour jubilee Celebration, was well to the fore in pressing the claims of the Wairarapa district to more attention than it had received in the past. He spoke of the visits of the Right Hon. L. T. 8. Amery; Lord Lovatt, and others,, including parties of farmers, and remarked that the Wairarapa appeared very little in their itineraries, although they had been able to snatch a few minutes of their time when passing through. lie claimed that Wairarapa was the hinterland to Wellington, itnd he hoped that the Riniutakas would not be a .barrier, but a connecting "range. He made no apology for pointing out to Wellington the developments possible at its back door. “It is your harbour and it is our harbour, for you are interested in the country districts and will become more interested yet,” he concluded.
