To the Editor of the Akaroa Mail.

,Sir,—- As one who takes a special interest in everything in connection with the Akaroa Domain, I observe in your issue a statement of the accounts for a period ending 10th instant. I have no.doubt but that the accounts are all the auditor states (who, by the way, is an expert in questions of the kind) are '• correct, and that the balance is accurately stated." But I feel sure that a few more details in an account of this sort are desirable. For instance the labor account seems to one to be a little mixed between trees, widening

and gravelling path, garden seats, fixing' &c, and the entry labor proper., £78 4s 6d. To the outside and Uninitiated public the items seem large. The abortion of well, pump, &c, £52 55,,t0 which I suppose has to be added drain pipe'B* r _ilb 2s 7d, is simply public money wasted*. Who is responsible for the horrid saucorand squirt,'of course will never be known; but the best thing to do is to spend a little ipore nfohey and root the whole thing up, and plant a weeping, willow on the spdli irr«iiieraory of their folly. "■: ljt was, understood* - that the Government'soine.time ago handed over the management of the Domain to the Borough Council, as the responsible representatives of the people, and the public are waiting to know what position the matter is in. There can be no objection to the present gentlemen acting as trustees, but no more saucers please. By the wayyhowisit that the balance" Stated as due to Mr J. CuUenJn .the^preyfously)published accounts audited by AjAr JvOlKvier has increased from £28 08 3d to £35 2s. • 'One-gets so fogged about these balances that it is difficult to make them out. Yours, &c, .', / 'MtCRACARPA JUNIOR. !
