VERY STRAINED.
To the Editpr." Sir, —The "Herald's" corresipfQiidentlaet night must have been "severely sitrained" before he wrote the second sentence of his letter. Does he mean that the Wanganui prohibited district includes public roads, and the public roads consist of an area or block of native land? If it is not putting too sever > a, strain xipon him, I ■would ask Mm io refer to my letter again and be -will find that the poiint I raised was that tJie ''Herald" claimed exemp-. tion of the river from the control of the Licensing Comanittee because it is the King's highway. I said nothing about the bed of the river or its banks, but if the river was exempt from the operation of the Licensing Act because it is the King's highway, the Clutiha roads, being also /the King's liiighwaysi, ishoiujd be equai'-'ly exempt.—l am, etc., V. September 18, 1902.
