MOA ROAD BOARD AFFAIRS.

To the Editor.

Sir,—Kindly allow me a little space to answer the epistle above the name of J. R. Hall. One only wants a cork eye to see who has written it. The writer is endeavoring to misrepresent my statements re loan, as every member "f the Board knew I never said all were in favor of a loan. AVhen I wanted the road repaired I was told the road was in debt, and to try and get the settlers to go in for a loan. Mr. Hall was the first one I went to, and he agreed to go in for a loan, but after being advised by a man that always has cold shivers when rates are mentioned he had to follow him. He also says I wanted to borrow £2OOO. Well, I ain afraid I cannot present him with I a George Washington, as the loan was for £O3O. and can be seen at the Board's office at any time. Mr. Hall also wants to know if I was paid, for working on the Kaimata road. Let me tell him the Moa Road Board did not pay me for the little X did, nor do I expect it to. Mr. Hall states the settlers are going to cart boulders, and Mr. Capper is going to open a pit, which I -am very glad to hear. It seems to me I was not so very far out when I stated the road wanted it badly, but I think I failed to make the other members of the Board believe it was true. Now that the crusher is on the road I am quite prepared to do my bit also, and if the Board ikes to send their teams into the river on my property they can have plenty of first-class stones for nothing and I will undertake to fill the drays for them. Let the rest of the settlers do the same, and we will have a good road. In conclusion, let me advise Mr. Hall not to be rushed in to print till he knows what he is writing about.— I am, etc.,

P. A. EEESBY. Kaimata. January 14
