-;fTo The. Editok.T ■■■■' Sir,—-A work of the utmost importance to Paeroa is at length being happily completed in the shape of a very sub- ■■ stantial-looking iron tmrnway from the Junction. All who have tiius so manfully put their shoulder to* the' , : wheel deserve, the greatest credit as : well as the thanks, of the whole com munity for bringing the reign of King Mud and misery to an end, so far as this particular part of the Ohinemuri district 'is concerned. Pearce Lanigan—that King of Coritractors-^ ---by his untiring energy and public spirit, in the face,.;it is said, of: much : inert if not active opposition to the tramway scheme, is entitled to a v hearty vote of; thanks, and.;' gratitude ■; from the people of Paeroa and of the ■ Ohinemuri goldfields generally.; Let us hope that this is only the beginning. an-I'first link in that network of tram- ;'• ways or light railways which will ultimately and in the near future connect all our budding townships, and so render 'bur present much, isolated centres the prosperous and happy homes of those who are here now, and of the thousands more who are coming to assist in unearthing the hidden l'iches of our great peninsula. —lam &c, : '■.;■/.:; ■"':■•'•■■'.
