Mr MoKao: I think (.ovcrnment Lave be haved very btvclly toivard. us. end we thould mobt certainly explain fully that, suffering ai we are from ilia great depression caused by the Jos. of th. t.rraces, folio .-■ ed by the loss of the tourist irade, we ere lieavy loser.-t; peihaps much more than tbo outside onl.okero are aware, and lhe Cvernment Hhouid lo: d their aid m such a tli.-.e of trial.

Mr Grace; Tho Government have alwajs done their utmost to foster the new townslup Mr ft. Homo: Ro Racecourte, I have been deputed to Keep this manor Lcfuro ihe Govern ment. We have n course re_-erv.d by iho Go vernment clo-o lo the now township, but it is in v mom dangerous place for the purpoio, and now that we havo our member hero, ptrnapa he may be able to help us to tecure ground else where in a more suitable pobiuon.

And tno last, but not hast, is tho Rukeioa reserve. Vi.-itors com ion hire cair.ot uLd r. rand v-!iy v Governnient reso ye so h2ar the now town should remain for so many jeais iv ib, niimal state. Teudero were called somo time ogo for the best det-i^n for laying it our, out nuihmg more has been beard of that. Mr Grafe r.ftrrcd lb variotia instances of rac-ccourte management, and also offered to do hi, utmost in a.sitting to get suitable wound. Re watenvoiks: Can you let me know the distaice rtquirtd io Euppiy Ohmemutu wi-h water.'

Mr J-ilmson : In reference to this matter wcrk requires to be paid for. ana as Ihere are no rates jure the money haa to bo bpplied by Govern ment, and partly from the Town X aid. lean only snuuk el iwo 10.15 ug-j. since men iho I'ukeroti has been fenced and planted round witli trees.

Mr Homo: Before we could take any steis to secure a piece cf ground for racecourse, would it bo necessary to net sotcial powerß under the Thermal _>p>-ioi<B.-..t to deal With natives. Mr John.or.: It ia useless going lo the trouble Ot pasting an Act for Ibat pun ose, beeanse so long as the lend ha.

A Voice : Can Mr Johnson cx.'lniu tho reuson of the native land du.y I.ling added to the cost?

Mr Johnson : Th ■ land duty was enforced lor _0 ne ri-atou t-y ilie Governnu-n'.. Mr Mitcho.'l tuid it was evident, from what had fallen fioiu previoua speakers, that con siderable di.satisfaction existed en various sub jects cjnnccted with the district, and be would p.-opoi-o thai a committee be appointed by the mtetin-: for tho purpo-e of preparing a memo, of each caso, and placing the same clear.y before the member for tbe district, tho Commit., c to consist of tho Chairman, Mossre Mcßae, Edwards, Wilkinson, Seddon, Kelly, Brent, and the mover, with power to acd to their number. He would add that ho quite --greed wiih what had fallen from Mr Mctlae's lips and others regarding tho exceptional position which this district occupied, different from any other part of the colony. Ii was suffering not only from the general depression, whicn ur f urtnnn.ely existed over tho whole colony, but aleo from the crush ing effects of the lato convu sion of PRture at Mount Tarawera, and he wai nlraid the Gove'nnient cid not realise the extent of the calamity which had in conse quence fallen upon this conim unity. He felt certain that unless the railway wqrka wore commenced immediately and carried out from both onde at once, hair of our population must leavo the placo ; and seeing tbe line had been authorised by the House and tho money raised for tho purpose, it waa impossible to understand whj tho railway operations were so long delayed. Ho would therefore propose the appointment cf tho committee named.

This was seconded by Mr Home and carried. Tho Telegraph messenger hore entered the Hall.

Mr Grace: Ihave just received replies from Wellington. (Applause.) lam afraid yon willnot be ao pleased when you hoar them. They are as follows :—

" -j. M. Grace, Rotorua: Re work near Rotorua end. if line were done now, I fear it would gat seriou.ly damaged before connected wilh otner end, and I don'i think I would be iusiifl din doing anything at Rotorua side of bush for the present.—E. Richardson."

"L. M. Grace, Esq.. Rotorua: In reply to Te Puke Road. 1 regret that I cannot no this, as the maintenance now on hand from To Puke to Tauranga und Rotorua will absorb the funds available.—lll. Richardson."

A voto of thanks and confidence in Mr Grace for hia very energetic exerlions as a county inoniber was carried by acclamation, nnd a vo c of thanks t. tho chairman terminated the meet ing.
