.-:-; Bemar&able development continue to present themselves all along the Aorere Valley. On former occaaionaC have indicated the general growti^fc far aa Ungwodfl^^Mrill therefore raily stay at presei^^Hßwith respect to this pert of the dWlWPbhat steady progrees continues SJTje made in aevaral directions. The main' Bonny Doon road is at last formed right through, and some parts of the road are already being gravelled: Very goon doubtless this will be the main thoroughfare for the heavy traffic from higher np the valley. Several bye roada also are being pushed on, which will give access to valuable landa for dairying, and will furnish an outlet for vast; Quantities of milling timber. Mr Grant is already | at work preparing for the erection of yet another sawmill, and there ara | rumours that other Bawmills mill be ereottd ready for active operations next spring. Bainbam will very soon have a.telephone, the line for which is now surveyed, and the posts are being out and conveyed. More than this. Bainham is to have another Public IHall, this time with the addition of a Library. It will be remembered that the former Hall was destroyed by fire a few months ago. The effects of the' fire have again been investigated by a Government official, Mr Marsh, who, while he cannot recommend any compensation to private individuals, ie willing to recommend to the Government an expenditure of pound for pound, up to 4100, in order to replace the Pnblio"Hall. This is decidedly a sign, of development, and the proposed now Hall is greatly needed now that the population of Bainham -is so largely increased,' and where there are now sawmills again in active operation.
