TAUPIRI SWAMP DRAINAGE
THE GOVERNMENT'S DELAY
MEETING OF PROTEST CALLED
[from our own correspondent]
HAMILTON, Monday
With the object of framing a resolution urging tho Government to proceed with its scheme for the drainage and development of the Taupiri Swamp without further delay, the Swamp Drainage League has called a public meeting to discuss the question in Hamilton next Thursday. In expressing the league's concern at the delay, the chairman, Mr. A. M. Bisley, said some months had elapsed since the Taupiri Drainage and River Board had accepted the Government's proposal regarding its share of the expenditure, with the result that a period of weather suitable for drainage operations had been lost. In view of the importance of the scheme, not only to the settlers, but also to Hamilton and other towns in the vicinity of the swamp, it was felt that a meeting to express the wishes of all those interested in the project was necessary. " It seems that if this opportunity of financing tho scheme with unemployed relief funds is not taken advantage of, the extensive area of swamp country within tho triangle Hamilton, Taupiri and Morrinsville will continue in its present state for very many years to come," said Mr. Bisley.
