CORRESPONDENCE.

(TO TWB EDTTOR OF STANDARD ..)i ' Sir,' — In your report af a meeting of ratepayers at Bunnythorpe, I see Mr v ßody~tfttacks the Warden of No. 5 Ward .'and -blames him for the state of . rthe road leading to Feifding.' I l thihk l Mr Body or any other ratepayer should make themselves conversant with the Ward they; reßide ; in before attempting to speak ]at a) public^ meeting. In the first 'place the road fromv Feilding m Bunnythorpe: is hot m the Manchsster Highway. Board, aridlthe Warden for N0... 5. -Ward would mot dare Bpendamy.of the money belong-;, ing jto "that ward on it. '■' ln' 'tne second place No. 5 Ward's, income is under £200 ay^ar.'yrith scarcely v road formed, in' it v and jthc ratepayers from all sides wanting their own partscnlar road' made. We, at 'this; end of the war.l, know to our cost tha^ for the last four nr five years the district roads about Bnnnythorpe and Nanjiestad's road has swallowed the whole

of the rate bslon^ing to the ward, so they at least should be satisfied. But Bunnythorpe settlers have always been the first to «jrow! and the last to do any-' thing. Apologising for troubling you. — L am, &c. f Wawkr Bailey. :
