Nothing seems to have been d-me in this district: 'It » a disgraceful state of affairs that the Pre™" of the country should ho allowed to mate speeches to gull the general public, ana not be brought to fulfil the promises ho has made. 1 am astonished that some oi «« Auckland members have not. taken nit. matter up. To all appearances -Mr. papier seems to have been well pleased with what he and the Government have done in tut Auckland province, but I can assure him he will not Ik; in the same mood after the next general election.l am, etc., Wording Man. Market-street, Auckland, May 1, 1902.
