He is asking for roading works to be advanced so that setlement will follow more successfully. He is also taking up various works in Westland County, including protection of Koiterangi laujds from. Hokitika : River erosion and proposes a scheme of control of flood waters J from Diedrichs Creek to assist in saving further river inroads. This work will cost considerably less than the main protection of the river Ibank at first proposed, which was estimated to cost £2OOO.
