When this block was taken up, the Government dis■tinctly promised to -fell bush arid form a road one chain wide. NbvT'what have they done towards the fulfilment of this promise ? Simply cut ai. tract 3ft wide, 'which, owing to landships and other causes, is now impassable, as horses, &c, driven to or from, become bogged, and settlers 1 are put to very great hardship in obtaining the necessaries of life, while, as for "getting some return for their labour, this is simply out of the- question. I have had for a^ long time "past men employed in improving that' taken uf> by myself with 1 the view of running cattle, &c, required in my business, '■ but owing to the apathy shown by; the Govern ment in not fulfilling their promises am compelled to pay at-least £1 per week on this account, las I cannot get them on the ground. When -calls become due the Government are particularly sharp in demanding payment, but seem utterly indifferent as to the hardship plapedjby them JUpou honest and'induatries settlers, so much so as to lead one to believe, that their efforts are not to induce, but delay, settlement on the land. I trust someone more able than myself will take this matter up, and as Parliament is now sitting cause a searching enquiry into the maladministration of lands by those now in power, Soficiting 1 your further able assistance; in/ this n>atter. ' I f , I am, &c!, One of the Suffebebs.
