The Road across the Ranges.
Mr J. G. Wilson has received the following reply to his application ; — Sh\ — I am directed by the Minister of Lands to acknowledge the receipt of your letter on the 14th inst in which you ask that a surveyor should be employed to lay out a road between Shannon and Eketahuna over the range.
In reply I am to state that in view of the large amount of roadmaking which is absolutely necessary in order to give access to Crown Lands, which are in urgent need of being opened up, the Minister does not see that there is any prospect of money being available for the construction of the road in question ; and it would therefore, he thinks, be a waste of means to have it surveyed in such a way as to enable the Government to decide whether it is feasible or otherwise.
Yours, &c, A. Babron, Under Secretary.
