Easton waited on the Council with regard to the bridge over the floodgate, which the Drainage Board had now decided they, did not want. It was a legal road to the bridge and he wished to fnow his position in the matter. He was cut off from one section and hal to go through another 'property to get to it. The chairman said the first thing to do was to loiate the position of the road. There seemed a question whether the flood gate was on the roa,dline and they would have to ascertain that, If it was on the road, they should ask the Board to keep it open until the cut was made in the Koputaroa which would remove the necessity for the bridge ' • On the chairman's motion, Cr. Barber and the Engineer were appointed to interview the Buckley Drainage Board (Continued on Page 4). ,
