ROADING AT OHOPE
Sir, —Do you know that a petition lias just been signed by 43 of the 55 " ratepayer-owners of the olcl settlement at Ohope protesting against the making of the proposed .newroad at Ohope. I was right when I said in a previous letter to you "those few are at it again/' Fortythree against out of 55 is a big majority. And yet the Ohope Welfare (?) League unanimously passes a resolution to urge the Council to proceed with that road. -So much for their being a representative body.. Think ..what the making of that road would mean. Valuable frontage land worth quite £1.500 would be taken, £2000 worth be required to road and £100 a year would 1 be levied upon the ratepayers to maintain the road. And all that to 1 say nothing of the fencing and gates required along the road. This huge expenditure would be just for the edification of "those few who are at it again." , Yours, etc., ; COMMON SENSE.
