DIVERSION OF THE TUTAEKURI.
Sjr, — Mr Rochfort is very ingenious in his letter this morning. He says "if the liver was diverted the lengthening of the channel would reduce the rail to 3J inches per mile," thus admitting that there is a fall even nt high water. Further on he says, " For 3J hours every tide the sewage could not possibly reach the harbor mouth and would be driven up and deposited on the banks in the lagoon ; some above the outfall and some below." Now if there are 3$ inches to the mile of fall, even at high water, above the sewer outfall, by what law of nature is the sewage going to be driven above that point ? Mr Rochfort's concluding paragraph may lie very clear to his own mind, but to my untutored intellect it appears sven more Vague than ithe preceding portion of his argument.— l -am, &c., Ignoramus. Napier, April 5, 1889.
