It is understood that the severed portion of land, next Mr O'Hara's, be transferred to him, oa condition that Le agrees to eradicate any gorse growing thereon, which he is willing to do. He the old road fronting Conroy's, I understand that your Council wish me to accent dedication of this: 1 am not willing tj takeover the full width out would suggest that half the width of this portion be transferred to Mr Conrov and half to myself. This would allow the boundary fence to La erected on the formed portion of the old road, sphere the land is clean, allowing the gorse to be eradicated." Specifications for the work were laid down.

G. O'Hara, Patumahoe., wrote saying he was quite willing to take over the old "road" and also the "piece" of ground belonging to Mr Firth Lext to it and to put the same in order to meet with Mr Firth's approval. The chairman said this corresponded was the outcome of an interview with Mr firth by Crs Henry, Higginson, himself and the engineer. He thought that some of the matters contained in Mr Firth's letter wculd be modified a little. The matter was left to the same committee to make tne best srrangement possible and to report to next meeting.
