Extract.
"Wanganui, 5th July, 1849.
Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge for the information of His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, that in pursuance of the Instructions conveyed in your letter No. 415 of the 26th May, I started Mr. Parkes upon a Mission which I had confided to him, and furnished him with the original map of what is now laid out as a native village.
The laying out of this village promises fairly to lead to a most beneficial change in the state of the Pauper Natives, who have hitherto been living in a state of the greatest irregularity, except in one or two instances, willingly succeeded to the breaking down of large portions of their fortified pas to make way for wide healthy streets, instead of the muddy contracted cross paths hitherto used.
One respectable house of similar dimensions as Te Ranapiri’s at Otaki, has been erected of native materials by George King the chief of Putiki, and four other houses of a similar description are in course of erection on the new town allotments.
It is quite pleasing to witness the burning down by some of the Natives of some of their filthy old huts which generated so much disease, and to witness the preparations making to replace those huts by comfortable buildings constructed in the style of neat verandah cottages.
(Signed) DONALD M’LEAN,
Inspector of Police.
To The Hon. the Colonial Secretary,
&c., &c., &c.
Wellington."
