IN consequence of the Town Board having declined to assist in the constrnction of a main outlet from Dunedin through Stafford Street, and the road through the Swamp being perfectly unpassable, the undersigned have been compelled to find access to the town at their own expense. They have accordingly constructed a line of road from Stafford Street to the Town Belt, presenting the shortest and easiest outlet from Dunedin. As this line is being universally used by the public, it will soon be rendered useless unless metalled. The undersigned are prepared to undertake the metalling of the road in question, provided those who are likely to make use of it will come to their assistance. With this view they will be glad to receive subscriptions of any amount. They have already expended a considerable sum themselves, and another hundred pounds would go far towards widening the road, and rendering it passable for drays at all seasons. The undersigned feel assured that, as the public participate so large in the benefits of this road, they will not grudge to bear a fair share of the cost of metalling it. They would further request that, until the road gets consolidated, horsemen and others passing over it would take care not to destroy the embankments. ROBERT WrLLTAMS. JAMES MACANDREW. W. H.
