KOHI BRIDGE.

(To the Editor of the Pate a Mail.) Sik, —In your columns of last Wednesday, appeared a letter signed ‘‘Grumbler,”, referring to the Kohi Bridge, and to throw a slur on the Wairoa Highway " Board, or their Engineer, regarding its construction. No doubt Mr Grumbler is like many more about Wairoa, very anxious to interfere with what he knows nothing about, because the bridge is set fair and square on the Kohi River, as all other bridges of any importance are—and there is no doubt but the Kohi District is an important place, as well as having some men of importance in it. So there is no use of Grumbler throwing dust in the ’ Board’s eyes, as I think they, or their Engineer, considered his interests in a large measure, when they put up so substantial a railing to keep him out of the River Kohi when driving along, as there are several buggies in the Kohi District now. Take Patea Bridge for example—how did they not head it up stream, where the old road came in, or any bridge that the best engineers in the Colony has had the constructing of, and see if they have been set to suit a badly laid road, or any road at all, but to suit the stream. I think that Grumbler should learn to manage his own little affairs before he goes abroad' to interfere with other people’s.—l am, &c., SATISFACTION.
