SURVEYORS ABROAD.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sib, —As your paper is so widely circulate .■ throughout the Waikato district I'beg! '%s> J,; make known a great blunder lflMesftby tke iiil surveyors lately, which, if not altered at once, will cauae a heavy loss to the province!"^ =' At Taupiri ground has been set apart for a township, some sections sold, and the road is, marked otlt close*to the river bant*' In one" place if; is eight paces only. When it ituw tt j known that at the time of the la'at heaty 10'% ilood 16 feet of the bank was washed dean away, you can calculate with safety how long it will take before the present road line is sent down the rapid watera of the Waikato M
river. If the road is shifted back now; a t'^ ' a very little compensation will be required;vife& so that the two stores and a few huts can b»: removed further Viack on the sections.—l am, ; etc., Auditor. ' rjjf? Taupiri, November 21, 1874.
