WHATAUPOKO'S REPLY.
To the Editor.
Sir, —Thoro were so many interesting letters in Saturday’s Times that I cannot refrain from again taking up the pen. It is not necessary at present to disclose my name, but I can assuro Mr Lysnar that he knows me well, and further that I am a friend of amalgamation. But he must not think I have changed my opinion about him. Why did he not raise the point about Waihirere before all the expense was gone to in reporting about it? I can understand Mr Siovwright and he quarrelling about a point of law, but I cannot understand him expecting his engineering opinion to bo taken in preference to that of Mr Mestayer. As to the breakwater it was amateur engineers who got the site changed from that selected by Coode. In passing allow me to compliment Mr A. Y. Ross and Mr Frank Harris on their letters. Mr Harris has raised some points that will cause the people to think and wonder. —I am, etc., Whataupoko.
