ONE TREE POINT ROAD.
(To the Editor.) i Sir,—ln your issue of March IX your Ruakaka correspondent states that “The Government drainage works on the One Tree Point Road are finished, and the men have been paid off. It will be possible for motorists to use this road in winter, as well as summer,” etc. The facts concerning the One Tree Feint drainage work are that the work is perhaps not more than half finished. Of the road drainage a mile of the wettest portion is untouched, amdi I strongly advise any motorist who would venture to One Tree Point this winter to bring a team of horses, as a great portion of this ifoad Fill be a quagmire. The grant of relief money obtained from the late Government has been spent, and evidently the present Government has no money for this work. The camps have been removed, and the men scattered, and the One Tree Point drainage work remains a monument of a half redeemed promise ju&t a decade old. “Patience, my Ons Tree Point friends, patience!” I am, etc., Wm. H. CHETHAM.
