The wharf workers can scarcely expect to keep the sympathy of the general public if they repeat what they did a day or two ago (says the Timaru Herald), when they held a meeting during working hours to pass a resolution which could just as easily have been passed out of working hours. Tho meeting lasted for about two hours (it was not about any matter of local concern), and two boats were kept idle as a result of this meeting for about two hours and a-half. For the purpose of close settlement (says the Press} the Government has bought Irwin's Estate, at Mitcham, near Rakaia, and Wright's Estate, near Kirwee. Two other properties have also been purchased, but the details are not available for publication yet.
