TOMB OF SIR MAUI POMARE.
ERECTION OF SUITABLE FIGURE.
(From News Special Correspondent.)
The tomb containing the ashes of Sir Maui Pomare, which overlooks Waitara from the height of the cliff bordering Manukorihi pa, is to be graced with a memorial, probably in the form of a life-sized figure of the Atiawa tribe’s beloved chief. A further step towards the attainment of an object held steadily in view was taken at a Jribal gathering at the pa on Saturday, when Sir.Apirana and Lady Ngata and Mr. Taite te Tomo, M.P., were present. Sir Apirana and Mr. Hapi Love were appointed by the meeting to consult Lady Pomare with a view to selecting a suitable memorial. It was thought desirable by those present that the memory ial should take the form of a life-size figure of Sir Maui and his canoe Tokomaru. "
Sir Apirana Ngata and Mr. Love were empowered to act immediately as it is wished by the Taranaki people that the ceremony should take place on November 18 next year.
