Taihape, Wednesday. It is now definitely announced that the prison camp to be established by the Government near Waimarino will be situated four miles from the Waimarino railway station. Accommodation will be provided for 14 officers and men, but this will be increased as time goes on. The gang will bo first employed in making a road from Waimarino to Tokaanu, reducing the distance over the present Waiouni route by over eighty-four miles.
When this work is completed, the labour is to be used in forming roads and tracks about Mount Ruapehu, and otherwise developing the Tongariro National Park.
