Mr. William James .lobson has been Gazetted Inspector of Machinery for the Auckland district. "The Chairman" writes as follows respecting the position and doings of tho Hunua Highway Board :—" ' A Correspondent,' writing of Hunua, is unfair to the Koad Board when he puts their small power for good in any comparison with the weather aud the Government. He ought to know the state of muddle the accounts were in, as well as the roads, when the present Board undertook their thankless office. If 'A Correspondent' can show how to pay off old debts amounting to £140 with leas than £50. and re-make ten miles of road over a most difficult line of broken country, before any rates are collected, he certainly should serve on the Road Board, and then he would know how common the grumblers are—men whose gorse aud whose stock are nuisances to their neighbours. The faith of 'A Corespondent' in aid from Government is quite touching. We all hope it is well placed,"
