SCHEME AT ROTORUA MOVE FOR EXTENSION [by telegraph —OWN correspondent] ROTORUA, Wednesday In asking the Minister of Public Works, the Hon. J. Bitchener, last evening, to give his support to a proposal to embrace Ohinemutu in the town's sewerage scheme, the Mayor, Mr. T. Jackbon, said that it was in the interests of the health of the community that the sewerage scheme, which included the town' and Whakarewarewa, should be extended to the native village Ohinemutu. _ Mr. Jackson said it was estimated that the cost would be about £7OOO and the borough was prepared to contribute its share and also undertake the maintenance of the system after it was installed. It was probable that the Native Department would have to make a contribution of about £4700. The Minister of Native Affairs, when approached on the subject, said it might bo possible to obtain a portion of the cost from natives themselves. It was also possiblo that the Cabinet would bo asked for a grant, and Mr. Jackson requested Mr.. Bitchener to give the proposal his support. The Minister, in reply, said that if tho question camo before tho Cabinet it would have his sympathetic consideration.
