TO THB EDITOR. Sib, — As the Councillor referred to by j your correspondent G. Wa r ren E,nsse : l, I beg leave to st^te that Mr. Russell i« qnite ii?noriaat of the qt'esiion re Maaawatu Bridge. Ttte ca?e is this : On the 7tb of June. 1881, th; following motion was tabled by Councillor Linton, and seconded by Councillor M'Lennan: — " That plans nnd specifications of proposed additions to the Ma.nnwatu Bridge, with tenders fbi 1 the same to be submitted to the Manawatu County Council for it* approval." I ODly drew (.!« u'icillor M^iel's aftention to the minute, and pointed oqt that the acaptanee of tenders by the Bo>ongh Council, with the consent of the Con.Vty Council, might lead to complications; ergo, I apoke not about repudiation, and only assisted towards an early settlement. I am extremely sorry for Mr. Russell, especially as he is wrong also 'with j«n<>th?r «[iio'aHon. lam sori'y to t»ke up your valuable space on his behalf.— l am, &c, John F. Kockstkow.
