Report on Petition of Henare te Moananui and 42 Others.

Petitioners pray for the formation of a road between Whangarei and Tutukaka, and also for the erection of a school for their children, and state that they will never cease from urging these matters on the attention of the House.

I am directed to report as follows:—The Committee regret that the time at their disposal has not been sufficient to enable them to make such inquiries as would justify them in reporting an opinion on the subject-matter of this petition.
