KOMOKORIKI.

Li'HOJt OUR OW"S CORRESPONDENT.] A postponed public meeting of the rate pavers of this district was hold at the Post Office", on Tuesday, the 16th Nor. The following five gentlemen were elected Trustees of the Highway Board for the ensuing year, viz., Messrs. Armstrong, Pettisrev.-, Poyner, Waterman, ard Jenkins, and a rate of one penny per acre was agreed to. This meeting, however, turned out to be an illegal one, as it was found out that some had voted and were elected who had not paid their arrears of rates, and by so voting and acting had committed a breach, of the 7th and Bth clauses of the Highway's Act. It was therefore necessary that another public meeting be called. This was held on Tuesday, the 30th Nov., and arrears having been paid up, two auditors were appointed who found the accounts of the past year correct. Messrs. Armstrong, Laybourue, Pottigrew, Poyner, and Waterman, were thsn elected Trustees, and a rate of one penny per acre wa3 passed. Mr. Chaplian was appointed: Clerk to the Board, and requested to study the Acts well, so that he might be able to guide those of the Trustees who showed at their first meeting such lamentable ignorance of it 3 provisions and requirements. It is confidently expected that a main trunk road will soon be made from Kaukapakaka via Komokoriki to Mahurangi. An almost level route has been found, and this route not only opens up this fine district of fertile laud through the centre of the country, but would prove by far the best and shortest road to Auckland from Mahurangi, Albertland, aud northern districts.
