THE PANMURE PUNT.
To tho Editor of tho New Zealandbr. Sm,—Will you kindly give the Provincial authorities a gentle hint respecting the landing-place from the punt on the Howick side of the Tamaki River, as the rough atones—especially when it is nearly low water—render it exceedingly dangerous for horses. As some time must elapse before a bridge is completed across this river, a few loads of stones and a little labour would render this place comparatively safe and convenient. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, A Lover of Safety. Auckland, Dec. 21. [lt is somewhat astonishing that, with so extensive a Board of Works at the command of the late Superintendent, and one of them so closely resident to Howick, in the welfare of which he professes a deep interest, this landing-place should have been suffered to remain in the state so truly described by our correspondent. —Ed. N. Z.]
