THE POHUI ROAD
[To the Editok of the Daily Telegraph.] Kir, —I sec by your report of the last meeting of the County Council that it is proposed by the engineer to have £1000 spent on a bridle track to Pohui. Now, there has been not only a bridle track but a coach road (such as it is) for a great many years, and what the settlers want is not a bridle track, which might enable an equestrian to drink tea half-an-hour sooner at Polmi, but a road by which they can get their produce to market and their stores back. Hundreds of dray-loads have to go seven or eight miles farther by way of Rissingtoii for the want of a little money spent on making the road to Pohui, which lias been surveyed for years ; and now, when there is to be a little money spent to rescue tho "wilds of Petane" from their neglected condition, the brilliant idea, is a new bri'lle track ! In the name of common sense let what money is spent be spent so as to bo of permanent benefit and not thrown away. By inserting this in your next issue yox will oblige A Petane Settler. October'2'2, 1883.
