To facilitate the transit of canoes, it wo„l, be only necessary to remove the more pZr nent logs, or such parts of them as into the stream, and to construct small lot at convenient distances, capable of the water level from twenty t0 inches each, and to round off a few of th sharper angles of the creek. The cost of V first wo.k would be about £750, and that of the two latter about one thousand more • tk whole could I e completed in a season. ’ ** We may observe ihat the removaUf l o£r and construction of the locks would requir t be conducted simultaneously : that one wo V would be utterly useless without the other J• that both would require to be complete oq (hj whole length of the creek, before any benefit worth notice could be derived from either We do not conceive that the small sum of £SOO could be judiciously employed i n th improvement of the Awaroa, even as a cano* track. We would not reco nmend it to be e** penned in removing the Jogs, for that operation would terminate in leaving the channel almost destitute of water, thereby destroying t! communication instead of opening it; an( j 6 do not advise a portion of any line to be undertaken, before the whole can be proceeded with, for we feel satisfied from the character of the Awaroa, that no good result can be expeeled from attempting its melioration pi Bce i meal. In conclusion we beg to remark that it would occupy as long a lime to improve the Awaroa, as it would to complete the line No i from Tehiki to Tekiki, and that if the latter were in working order any improvement of the former would be unnecessary. We have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servants, Wu, Mason, Daniel Simpson, C. P. O’Raffert? To His Honor the Superintendent, Province of Auckland.
