[Correspondence is 'un ited upon all subjects, but ire do not hold ourselves TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —By an Order-in-Council .* *• 1 the 29th day of last month a reser . retoforo vested in the Town Board o. . hiatus keen vested us Messrs Darrell, i’olgla.se, ■ ■ ' • • ted wi i e suiting the old Bo; rd or showing any good »m • :tioD sine piece of land to he set aside as an en It. :’ a consult ;\d»’e amount of trouble X\ was ibject to c Un red, that is to s;,y, five acres could be taken at purposes, and so tar as 1 know the Board wore quite willing to d > ail in their power when desired to make the ground suitable : “ r *ho p:: j >se for which it was set ntido. (tainiy no objection can bo taken to the Man. at liuoka people getting a domain vested in them if they were dissatisfied w tli the managem tof the pri b< nt one. But why they should, in what appears to me an under-hand manner, wrest from the Pahiatua l»orough tho control of the only piece of land, with tho exception of a piece of river bed, vested in them for the benefit >f al cut 1200 persons I cannot imagine. It bv no means rebounds to their credit, and is a step in the direction of setting a community o\ persons whose int !' N are nlm ‘it identical, one against an. titer. rheonly hope 1 haw. Sir. is that now they h ive suco ie i in doing what to my mind is anything but kind, that the.” wi’l make tho domain : di that they may dcsite for the henutit of the coni- ■ J i ttainoka alone, but for the district generally.—l •lo t Vile.
