AKAROA COUNTY COUNCIL RE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO OKAIN'S BAY ROAD BOARD.

To the Editor.

Sir,—Will you kindly allow me space in your columns to contradict a statement made by Mr Gebbie in reply to Mr Barnett re allocation of £50 8s to the Okain's Bay Road Bonrd, which at the meeting of the Council Mr Gebbie said Mr J. B. Barker, the then Chairman of the Okain's Road Board, had agreed should be stopped from that Board. Now, Sir, Mr Gebbie is in error, when he said I consented to it; because I opposed it. The facts are these. Mr Williams, then Chairman of the County Council, brought forward the necessity of the Council regrading a portion of the Summit road between Little Akaloa saddle and Okain's saddle, which I considered would be money well spent by the Council, and voted for it. But now, Sir, comes the hit, Mr Gebbie did not like to see the Council's funds spent in the Okain's districts, and moved a resolution that if at any future time any moneys were allocated to the Okain's Road Board the cost of regrading the Summit road should be deducted from the Okain's Road Board. This I strongly objected to and voted against, but, however, Mr Gebbie's motion was carried, and I have often said was the most unjust action the Council ever did, because it was not asked for by the Road Board or its Chairman, but by the Chairman of the County Council. Yours, etc., JOHN B. BARKER. Little Akaloa, February 6,1882.
