<To the "Rflltnr of the Herald.) Sir, — 1. Bee by the published report of the meeting re the above that Mr. *F. deLautour states that the two last seasons have been dry. Ido not know what they have been m Gisborne, but m this district they have been anything but dry, as will be shown by the following records for the past five years: 1914. 55.51; 1915, 52.37; 1916, 69:73; 1917,. 79.05; nnd ,1918, 82.21— or. nearly seven feet. So that if. Mr. deLautour bases his calculations on the assumption that the two last season? were dry, when a dry season does come he will be very much out m his watei supply. — I am, etc., W. B. HARDING. Matawai, Feb. 26.
