AN EXPLANATION.
To the Editor. i Be ® iQ Your paper of Saturday a letter! from Mr A. H. Rqss, purporting to correct your report of proceedftga in the appeal case “Waterworks Company v Half Way Bush Road Board.” In ihis letter he etates that he was called “to show that the district roads had sustained considerable injury from the cartage of material used in the construction of the Company’s works.” Lest there should be any mistake through Mr Ross’s explanation, I wish to state that, at the time of the construction of the Company’s works, now eight years ago, the reads were so had that they could scarcely be injured. and the company’s workmen had to cut flax and fill in the ruts in the road before the carts could get along at all, I may further mention that, for the last six years, only one cart-load for the reservoir has passed along the Halfway Bush road, so far as I know. The company has, at its own expense, constrnoted a road to the reservoir across the W a tejr of Leith, and entirely unconnected With the Halfway Rush Rood Board. This road is well known, and frequently used by tpe inhabitants both of the - district and of Dunedm,— I am, 4c., t, _ , Tromas Dick, Secretary. Dunedin, February 23.
