At the meeting of the County Council on Tuesday a communication was road from Mr "X. Callbtiw, Te Puke, who wrote as under: —

" 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. Mr l'\ Donovan, Te Puke, wrott drawing attention to an obstruction in the Ohiueaugaanga Creek, near Te Puke butter factory, lie stated it is an embankment and willows, aud is ' the means of blocking the water on to his laud. He requested that the parties interested should remove the obstruction. Cr Lemon moved—That the over- I seer be requested to report on the matter. —Seconded by Cr Matthews ! and carried. ]
