A DEVIATION QUESTION.

Mr J. A. M. Davidson forwarded a statement to the Tauranga County Council re deviation through Mvs Wallis'farm, which was read at yesterday's meeting. After referring to the positon at some length, Mr Davidson said he understands a re-survey is necess.ry. As the road must be legalised at some time or another, and the adj'-ining* landowners are anxious to have the matter fettled- he ventured to suggest that it would be in the best interest of the County to have the survey made, and, further, pointed out that the actual money cost to the Council would bo nil, or very little, as uming that compensation for the deviation has been paid to the occupier

when the land was taken. Mr J. Darragh is prepared to buy the road to be clo-ed; and the amount to be realised by this sale ehould pay or nearly pay all expenses of survey, etc., leaving j mono;.' cost to the Council very small. j Captain Turner said the road was I properly surveyed, but it appeared I that the Auckland Survey Oflice had I lost the plans. ! Cr. Spence suggested that the Mm's!- --! tor should be approached. 1 Cr. Southey moved, That the Depart- | ment be requested to have the survey j executed, as the Survey Department [had received the plan of the turvey.— I Seconded by Cr. Spence and carried.
