Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1879, No. 2.

[No. 280, Session II.—Petition of Rangitira Moetara and 108 Others.]

No. 280, Session II.—Petition of Rangitira Moetara and 108 Others.

Petitioners pray that the telegraph wire may be extended from Hokianga to the mouth of the river at Pahia. That the extension prayed for would be a great boon to all the ships of the world which trade to the port. And, as both races are children of the Queen, they ask for roads, railways, and telegraph offices.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That this petition be referred to the Government for their consideration.

4th December 1879.

[Translation.]
No. 280, Session II.—Te Pukapuka-inoi a Rangitira Moetara me etahi atu 108.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakatoroa atu te waea i Hokianga ki te ngutu awa o te awa o Pahia. No te mea era e nui te pai e puta ki nga kaipuke o te ao e haere ake ana ki taua tauranga, a no te mea hoki he tamariki tahi nga iwi e rua no te Kuini, E tono ana ratou kia hoatu he rori, he rerewe, me etahi tari-waea.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Ko tenei pitihana me tuku atu hei whakaarohanga ma te Kawanatanga.

4 Tihema 1879.
