THE KAIKORAI ROADS.
To the Editor .
Sir, —L 1,200 to make a road from the Shepherds Arms at right angles to the Upper Kaikorai road, and by cutting down that and the Halfway Bush road twenty feet to suit, the making of the one being the destruction of the other! Not very like y. There is no necessity for that part of the outlay. If the road is started a few yards farther north an excellent and inexpensive communication may be had by Selkirk, This would form, besides, a better road, provided the work was started opposite to and cut down to the level of Mr Partoa’s fence and carried right fonvard to Mr Kettle’s creek, which the road must be brought to and pass, take it any way you will. The money which would be saved by dispensing with the cutting at the present main road would do far more than meet the expense of the cutting lower down, which I have proposed. That cutting will have to be made or provided for first.
All this will be made abundantly plain at the first public meeting on the subject. The Church lands do not lie in the proper line of road at all. It ought to go through MiKettle’s paddock entirely.—l am, &c., Enoinmor. Dunedin, May 3.
