MAORI CREEK GROWL.
(To the Editor.)

All tenderers to deposit £5. Close the road and block all traffic. Then send up the Engineer to pass it, when finished, etc. lam afraid your correspondent of the 6th would want a good price as it could not bo divided into‘?two separate contracts, and it would be rather much responsibility to have two chains to do all at once ; seeing there is so much wet weather an extension of time would bo necessary. I am, No Cripple,
