OTAKI HIGHWAYS BOARD.
TO THR EDITOR OK XHBMANAWATf HIBAW> SiR,- r Would you. kindly allow me apace for the. following in your paper. T. Hevan, I think, .is getting High- , ways Board on the brain, but to p\ieve.nr him from being a gone coon, I will' try and pnt him right in refr.ence to the subject of his letter. In regard to No. 3 Line of road there was a committee of thtfoe appointed to interview the Maori owner of the land ; tbey .»t first agreed to permit the road to pass, but afterwards regrotted their consent and wanted £-500 for the laud The Mion may ta very green in Mr. Btvan'« opinion, but not in mine. A.u-1 re the illegal step of the Otaki Highways Board, how does Mr Bevan know that it is illegal? I was not aware that he wad a lawyer. Perhaps if he took the trouble to look at the Highways Woard Act, he would find : out the" diffrtrenoe ; and about" the doing away with the Highways Board, I am afraid Mr. Bevan is labouring in vain, but I suppose he is exceedingly delighted to see hia gpiatne in print, which I am not. •'■■'- I am, &c, iI.VTBPAYER.
