THE TAUPO ROAD.
Sir,— Mr Mason says in his letter of the 7th instant that what I say is false. Mr Mason thinks, every one like himself, and I am glad that he is so sure of his man. Bo much for his letter. The money that is wasted on this road is something scandtilous. Mr Mason was down in Napier last week with the Government,, buggy. He got stuck-up in the Totaraf cutting and had to hire a horse from a' settler at Petane to take him home. He sent a man otf the road to return the settler's horse and bringback the Government horse that cost the Government £25 a short time ago. When Mr Carter was driving up to Taupo the Russian Priuca he had to cut manuka to fill up the holes, to get the coach over, and the prince and party had .to walk. I wonderif tliey have such roads in Russia, or do they keep road overseers there t
When Mr Mason wtites again do not expunge any portion of his letter, as I will uot have you for libel, and I will Guarantee the blacksmith will not. Xefc him show himself up as he is sure to do if lie writes nt all. As he knows me 1 will still sign myself
Settler, Runanoa,
April 19, 18S8.
