ORMONDVILLE HOTEL.

(to the editc.r ~>f thk waipawa mail.) Sib, —Your correspondent, who has with excellent judgment subscribed himsflf “ Short sight,” appears to take a rgood-natured view of life. He for a “ high-class well-con-ducted hotel” at Ormondville, not because the inhabitants have “ money to throw away,” nor to “ increase the respectability of the township,” “ nor even because of the gonial and social comfort” to be derived from such an establishment, “ but because the building of such a place would afford some work to a few of the unemployed.” Your “ Shortsiglit ” correspondent then, in his concluding lines, remarks that the motive power required is a “ kindly-disposed and long-pursed gentleman.”

Now, sir, has your correspondent interviewc*d some of the genial kindlydisposed, and long-pursed gentlemen in Napier who specially watch over the birth and infancy of such establishments ? If not with such excellent and philanthropic arguments to support his case, tne sooner he tries to convince them the better. I somewhat fear, however, that notwithstanding the geniality of their dispositions, they will seek information as to the amount of money available for drink purposes, and the question of an hotel at Ormondville would certainly not bear a moments’ consideration compared with one for the terminus at Makatoku.—l am, <fee., BAD SITE.
