" mouths ago I wrote to your Council requesting that an obstrucI tion in the Waiari stream be ie- | moved, but nothing has been done so tar, and now a fairly large willow tree I has fallen into the s'ream on top of the obstruction. ISo I again request that your Council exercise y.uir I powers under tho Land Drainage Act, and have the said obstructions re- ' moved. These are on tho property owned by the Maori named Mooney, but the .son Marketi has, I understand, been appointed trustee to manage the property. Hope you will not compel me to make a court case against your Council over this matfcjr." Cr Lemon moved—That notice be gi en to Marketi to remove the obstruction.—Seconded by Cr Matthews and carried.
