CORRESPONDENCE.
THE STRATFORD ROUTE.
(To the Editor.) \ .Sir,—-In a characteristic letter in your issue of last evening Mr Peter Oliphant states that I said in a" ■ speech at Otahuhu there were 33 tunnels between the point of divergence ; and Stratford, and ho tolls us. on his own authority, that there are only six. At Otahuhn I quoted the report ', of the Engineer-in-Chief, of which Mr Peter Oliphant. has apparently never ■ heard, and which appears in Parliamentary Paper L, 0. 18!>2. Mr Hales . there says: 'There are P.I tunnels ;, length 4,128 yards.' I have been wondering whether your correspondent is the Mr Peter Oliphant who has bsea in the habit of posing as an authority on the Stratford or Ngaire routeßf^J|| I am, etc., ' W. F. MASSEYs
