ROAD TO THE BEACH.

[to THE EDITOR.] Sib—l would beg to draw-the atten> tion of the poweie that be to the shameful manner in which the residents ofc the Teremakau Beach have been neglected, for years, by both ' Road , Board and successive Councils. Inconsequence ofdiemg t n long time a member of the foimer body, I know that those!. nnf u tunate. ind,ivisuals, hayq . jiebn for ten years paying ib&t rates. and during that time, notwithstanding their continmuis appeals for a small footbridge (value £10), they .were even denied that ranch. Now, sir,- what they want is communication with Kurnat4' : iCertainly Mr Seddon, in his place in the Council, advocated the construction of a track between Enrriara and the Beach, and was so far successful that; a survey was made; but, further than that; everything remains in statu quo. The Teyemakau residents say that the B&ch end, of. sych. surveyed track is-too’far . . sou th for. them, being too much towards, ■ the ; IcmplQtjglt .road, that if a track ' was made in the, direction towards-the .
