CORRESPONDENCE.
To THE EDITOK OP THE NELSON EVENING MATtt Sir — In reply to Mr, Wakefield's letter which appeared in to- day 'a Colonist, I wish to state that I frequently have to close the trap door of the Waimea-street culvert at high tides, to prevent the salt water from covering my premises, and if Mr. Wakefield's plan were carried out regarding a culvert at Gorrie's corner, my property, as well as Mr. Gorrie's, would be completely swamped by the tide through the enlargement of the culvert near the Post Office, which must necesI sarily liave to be increased. Perhaps Mr. Wakefield bas never been in Nelson when i a flood occurred, or he would see the absurdity of the notion he entertains. Yours, &c, A. G. Betts.
