This council is of opinion that the league has rendered great seivice to the settlers of Central Otago — an opinion which this council is confident is shared by these settlers— and will heartily support the efforts of the league in future, and consider that the bridges on the Hyde-Kyeburn section of the railway should be put in hands at once, to enable that section of the line to I c opened for traffic with as little delay as poesible.

John Forrester, Esq., Chairman Maniototo County Council, Naaeby. Sir, — I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your leter of 18lh inst., enclosing copy of resolution ' passed by your council respecting tljp services rendered by the Otago Central Railway Le^Rue. The matter will be formally brought under the notice of the Executive Council of the league at its next meeting. Meantime, I kaow that those who are associated with me in the work of the league will, as I do, receive your communication with great pleasure, the more so as recent letters from some of those iv authority in your district have been very discouraging. m It must be obvious that the league cannot hope to make such progress as it ought to do if it is not iv thorough accord with the people in Central O'ago aud does not have their active co-operation, and it is gratifying to ba thus reassured by you in that respect.— l have, &i., W. Barkon.
