REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS.

Sir,—'Lhereis one matter of considerable importance that I want to bnng before the notice of your readers. ’ The Government intend to bring forward a Bdl for the Hedistribution of Seals this;scssibn. I believe it is'in the printer’s hands, and I think we should agitate throughout the .county, in order to get a representative for thd County of Patca. At .present we, are in the unfortunate position of being between two stools—Egmdht and AVanganui —with themsual; results r

... The interests of our Egmont vepreseh tative are in New Pijunouth, and of our Wanganui ones in Wanganui. Just contrast ih6jeimreta jvay in,-which puy, railway has", beep constructed, with railway works in TafanaM county. 1 When parties nearly .equal, in the,. House, it is of importance try the 'existing Government; into which lobby Taranaki, goes ; but* this county, Having* no representative, has to be

contented, with the promise of a railway to be made leisurely, which promise has been leisurely fulfilled. It is not in railway construction alone that wo have suffered. There are many other ways in which we have been left out in the cokl. I may relieve the anxiety of your Wai totnra correspondent by informing him that the Wanganui County Council is responsible for the maintenance of the Waitotara Bridge, this comity paying half the cost.
