COUNTY COUNCIL AND ROAD BOARDS.
To the Editor
Sir, —Any person reading- the reported doings of the Akaroa and Wainui Road Board last issue, ennnot but be forcibly impressed with the very humiliating position in which that body has placed itself with reference to the road through Rhodes's flat, Wainui. It is self-evident that the letter of enquiry from the C.C. had the effect of silencing bullocky rule, while the transparency of the reply to be sent cannot have any other effect than to make the Council believe that fear of that body has so suddenly altered the decision of the chairman of the Akaroa and Wainui Road Board. Would it not have been much better if. "The Conductor " had seen the necessity of doing this job with a good grace instead of placing our system of local Government iti the disreputable position of having to be brought to task by their supposed superiors.—Yours, etc., GEE WHOU SPOT.
