NO ROAD OUT.

A Backblocks' Difficulty

Hunua Settler's Grievance.

At Thursday's meeting of the Franklin County Council, W. Baker again returned to his attack : " Will you please inform me if an engineer has been appointed and what has been decided upun, as the cows are calving and we have no way of getting the milk t8 the factory. It would be a shame to have to sell a herd of cows and let the grass go to waste for the want of an outlet."

The clerk's reply was that an engineer had been appointed but it was not known when he would commence his duties.

In a subsequent letter, Mr Baker wrote to Cr Campbell, saying • " The creamery has started, the cows are calving, two men have to be paid. Can I get a road out so as to saye me from disaster ?''

During the ensuing discussion, Cr Campbell reminded the Council that this gentleman was tho one' who wanted to get the road through Mr Taylor's propeity, and tho matter had been deferred until tho engineer could inspect and lay out tho permanent road. As they know the engineer had Keen delayed and this work was hung up. Cr Eenall strongly favoured something - being done if tho Council could do so, but it was after discussion, that nothing could really be done until the engineer can get to work. Meanwhile tho matter was still left in Cr Campbells hands.
