MINISTERS AND PUBLIC WORKS.
DISCHARGE OF MEN AT BAY OF ISLANDS. GREAT INDIGNATION. [by telegraph.—own CORRESPONDENT.] Kawakawa, Thursday. Great indignation has been expressed here on learning that 30 men out of 56 employed on the railway extension eight miles into the bush on the way to Hukerenui have been sacked. This has been done in the face of a promise that the line would be opened in 12 months. It means ■going slow in earnest. Young men® may get gray-headed before the line reaches Hukerenui on to Whangarei. As there is no other opening for labour in the district, and all hands reside here, the question is, What does Mr. Seddori and his colleagues mean? It was, perhaps, too good to suppose that Kawakawa would be left unmolested by the present mean policy.
