WATER AND DRAINAGE.

(To tiie L’dilor Gisborne Times.)

Sir, —Regarding Cr Morrison’s Infcler in your last issue, on the above, subject, 1 would like lo say Ilia! T t[link he carries the position ton fur when he says “ that lie does no I consider himself or any of the Councillors capable of criticising Mr Mestayer’s scheme in detail.” 1 did not credit him previously with making such a sweeping admission as saying Hull Ihe whole of Ihe Council were incapable, and i disagree with him when he reiterates ll’.al they are, for I think all of the Councillors are capable of considering the schemes, himself included, notwithstanding his admission that he is not.

No, Cr Morrison, you will not make me believe that you cannot tell the difference between £X(),!I70 and £3-i,il(Hi, for that is the difference m plait., figures, according to the expel (s’ estimates (adding £3OOO for VVaihirere land) of the cost, of the different, schemes, leaving out the cost of pumping, which is applicable to both sets' of schemes. I am sure you would sooner give a cheque for lhe smaller sum if you were dealing With your own affairs, and leave no stone unturned to satisly yourseil off every detail, and so save to youiscil Use expenditure of U 15,07(1, while at the same time securing more reliable and efficient, schemes.—l am, ete., W. DOUGLAS LYSNAR.
