No. 30.
The Assistant Native Secretary to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

An application having been made to me by a Mr. Edward Davis for permission to build a wooden store for the chief Te Waru, of Rangiawhia, on the Native reserve at Onehunga, I have the honour to request that you will be so good as to inform me whether there will be any objection on the part of the Trustees of the Native Reserves to Davis undertaking this work. The store is to be 40 feet long by 20 feet wide, and is intended for the safe custody of flour and other produce for the Auckland market, and the price to be paid for it is, I understand, twenty tons of flour.
