The Surveyor was directed to acknowledge the letter, and inform the Council that the Board had the matter under its consideration, and will communicate with the Council at an early date. A letter from Mr Reston, relative to stone heing quarried on the Sumner Road Reserve, adjacent to rural se tion 130, was read; the writer requesting that some arrangement should be made which would be satisfactory both to the Board and himself, as the land belongs to him.
