Water Board’s Work
Sir, —I find the reports of meetings made by you generally so concise aud accurate that I only send this to make my position quite clear. While I was pointing out the benefits that the whole Wellington area would reap from the board’s policy of inter-planting milling areas, and replanting denuded ones, an interjection was made asking why should we pay for such. work. To this I replied: “We are doing pioneer work, for which future generations will be thankful,” and added, “If our pioneers had not lived in log huts, there would not have been any Wellington. If this generation does not do the necessary conservation and planting, there will not be the water required for future generations.” This gives a different meaning to that of the report—possibly lost in condensation.-r-I am, etc., H. A. HUGGINS. Wellington, Alay 2.
