. TO THE EDITOR OF THE AKAROA MAIL. Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 28th instant, in which you ask to be informed of the steps that have been taken in the matter of the erection of a lighthouse at Akaroa Heads. In reply, I have the horioV to inform you that the site for the lighthouse has been surveyed by the Marine Engineer, and the road to it from the landing place pegged off. An order for the lantern and apparatus has been sent to England. The work for forming the road will be proceeded with at an early date, and the erection of the tower will be commenced as soon as certain necessary particulars connected with the lantern and revolving machinery are received from the Engineers charged with the superintendence of the construction of the lantern and apparatus. —I have the honor to be Sir, your obedient servant, . GEORGE MCLEAN. Customs Department, Marine branch, Wellington, June 20th. 1877.
