CORRESPOPNDENCE.

XTotlie Editor oj the Colonist.; ; S»r-W^l y oa '..kindly allow; me space in your oolumhrto pass a few remarks regarding the state of the road over the Pigeon Valley Hill, f between Dovedale and Wakefield. I think' that' considering the number of people that have to travel this road, it ia a disgrace. Fortunately there has been no serious adoident aa yet, though I don't tbihkit will be loog before some happen. Within a week or ten days ope person bad/ his horses fall down ahd| broke the pole of his vehicles, while horses falling down add ekinnirig, knees ahdSioad are eomm.bn; two carts loaded with bricks were . stopped; ; and only , got up. last Monday because 'tne ; hor£es ,were i tough shod for the purpose, and it ; happened to be a warmerJday than uaual ; one. storeman, after coming frora Brightwater to the foot of the bUI bad to "turn back. Perhaps some will want to Irh'ow. the cause ol all thiß, and. how it can be remedied. The main' pause Ifli'thV roaidmspeotor failed, toy seey that the water was kept but of the .middle of the' road by having the water, tables cleaned yout, and so preventing She late hard frosts from forming a beautiful ' elide' >f. about. five; ohainslong, and making /'the;' ; road well ; nigh, impassable. The belt thing the ; authoritijis Joan "dp, iidw is to have the' Water turned off the centre of the road.' and; have tbe ice strewed with sawdust, it would not take loag, and if not done, the Council may havd to pay a good lot in dameges -• '■'', mopey which; might '; be much better •pent on the roads. , , ' a. --. -;y'; : '- •y ; ;y6ws, : &c.,yy,;. ,' ' -';"'•-" ''J;"''..." :, -' tTjaAVELLEB.
