DISAPPOINTED.

(to the editor.) Sir,—My last Sbttleb says that Mr M‘Cardle wants the County ! cil to write the Governm-n. ab ut metalling tbe road from here to Ka« whia Harbour. Since then I bear that nothing was done. The. Council appears nxious to become tbe Hu»-b □- Board and one of tbe things n ce-sa-y for its succees is to encourage t sports. We (the batter fac*ory) wo > would become one of the biggest exp - are debarred (vide last yea-) fr -m < L-pi ?g at Kawhia nn account f the t- ribl*» state i f ih»‘ road, wbrh c mpoi us to take our butter seven miirs further ro the traiu at nearly twica tbe c . The awful waddk d iringabont the Council chamber n by chdji - a brilliant orat -ry c i. pirni wub the wicked and careless h ugh»-iv' iu neglecting this impor anr r al which no one in particular b <t everyone in general. Perhaps tbe Gauntry meinb-rs are afraid that the towuship of Ka» wbia might get rhe mad half an hour earlier.—Yours, etc., SKIM MILK. Te Rau-a moa, 18/6/1906.
