■Vc do not hold ounnlvuM fortho opinion expruHHed by our eorreupondetitii.) POUND FOR WAIMATA RIDING. TO THE EDITOR, Sir, —Now that the new impounding regulations are to come shortly into force, and that the control of all pounds in future, outside of Boroughs, will practically be in the hands of Road Boards, an opportunity is thus given to the Waimata Road Board to do something to prevent the reckless way sheep, horses, and cattle are allowed to wander about Gisborne Nonh, destroying people’s ences, damaging gardens, and playing the mischief generally with the drains that have been cut at the expense of the ratepayers. Anyone to examine these drains recently made in that part of the County, will find they are rapidly becoming cattle tracks. By the time the winter season arrives, the drains will be unfit to carry oft the water. The County Council has appointed a ranger, who if he did his duty to the Waimata portion of the County would long before this have put a stop to the way things are a'lowed to go on in and about Gisborne North.—l am &c.,

Gisborne North. [The question of erecting a pound came before the Wa : mata Road Board it the meeting on T uesday evening ias . neps will be shortly taken to abate the misance complained of.—Ed. T.]
