The principal topic under conversatl o n
at the present Is the right Of why Tor the

garians are beginning o locate here again
and ns sure as the sun moves there will DO
rows be ween the foreigners. Christenin2s
and weddings geper lily end in a big fight.
On the other hand the people are Of the
opinion that tho new road should no. DO
blocked Itshould bo helped along in
every instance. The acts OF the company
controlling the present road should not be
held up rs criterion for the new road.
The present company has given Council
everything 1t asked and when company
gets privileges without restrictions it is
not tho fault of ths company. The gener-
al opinion of The people is that Colncil
should let the new company have tho right
OF way without being hampersd.
II the road Is built and the company
states its intention OF going ahead at once
with the work. then New Castle will be
benefited. People will come here to the
stores II z Y stores only became attractive
and make Nbid for tho trade. L,t tho
new road como at once.
