To the HJclitor of the Lytielton Times'-. •' ■'■') '''Mb.'Editor,—Why is .'tlie Heatlioote not •hridged tit the 'Ferry ? -If } rou were to take up. the j.'qod onuse it would soon he done, and I also wonder that'all the. Members' t of the Provincial Council •don't rajse up their voices and cry—" bridge the Heathcote!" . During the sittings of Council, members from the south side of the river must feel the inconvenience of waiting often a long time before 'the .'ferry man be roused from his pleasant slumbers. . The present ferryman, Deal, is a general favorite, ■with all who cross; but I have no doubt he would be better pleased to lease the bridge,"if yon get one, than haul the punt across, especially when it is •high water and a boisterous night, such a one as \ve rhad last night; I am; Sir, , Your obedient servant, ■' " : NOT DEAL. ;Christcharch, 3rd August, 1859. :
