THE WAIOTAHI ROAD.
(To the Editor ofthi Evening' Star.)
Sib, —Coming down one of the best made tramways in New Zealand (I mean the Waiotahi) I saw a number of men at work round a many colored peg stuck in the side of the hill. I asked a bystander what the men were about ? He informed me they were making a Goyernment.road, and that the peg that bothered me was the Municipal boundary. The road it seems is that lately contracted for by Mr. Gallagher, and let by the Waiotahi Board for something like £830. That may be all very well, but ns the road ends nowhere, and begins nowhere, it looked tome very much like a bridge with the end arches "and approaches left out—or a job. Now, what the Waiotahi folks wanted to saddle themselves with over £800 fpr a piece of a road when they have a good tramway, I cannot say. Perhaps they expect the Municipality to continue the work to Grahamstown 5 but I don't think the Grahamstown public will see it.—l am, &c, Uppee WiiOTAHi.
