CORRESPONDENCE.
. _i : ."♦ THE DANGEROUS WATER RACE AT METHVEN. N TO THE EDITOB. .Sir, —I would , like to endorse the views as expressed by your special reporter in regard to the above race as published -in the ■'" Guardian " on Friday last. The suggestion that the main race should be diverted through the Mt. Harding Es|:ate, on the north side of the township and then brought into its present channels below the cemetery, presents no jsngineering diffi* . ciilties, and I understand that Mr Morrison estimates the cost at about £400, while the cost'| of piping the portion rmining'through the centre of the township is £2000: To prevent any hardship being imposed upon- those who now use the race, a small one could be - carried where the present one . now runs.; ;Such. a scheme would' be more ' efficient, less costly, .and less danger- ' ous than the proppsedjone ot pipinMin small portions near-the centre q£^tfco • township, and.it is..^ime the County Council did something to remove this ever-increasing menace to the youHg children of Methven. . J. OARtt. Methven, Feb. 28, 1912.
