The extension of the Rotorua sewerage service to embrace Ohincmutu is under consideration. The work is estimated to cost £7OOO, of which the Native _ Department is expected to contribute £4700. Severe criticism of the Government, for not spending more money on advertising New Zealand in America, was expressed to a Christchurch Sim reporter bv Mr. Joseph S. Wright, of Chicago. Mr. Wright is one of the directors of the Chicago ' Geographic Society, which arranges regular tours abroad for its members. The only publicity about New Zealand which he had seen in America had been produced by the Matsou Line, an American concern, Mr. Wright said. Most people in America, had tho impression that New Zealand was a little island off the coast of Australia.
