A letter has been received from Major Atkinson stating that Patea is at last to have a bonded store. The expense of a Customs officer will not be gone to, but the owner of a store near the harbor will act as deputy, and will have control over all dutiable goods.. Mr. H. F. Christie has interested himself in securing this great convenience for Patea. A memorial from a public meeting, held here "some months ago, was sent to Wellington to the same' effect, but a reply received about a month ago stated that the request could not be granted on account of expense.
