OBSTRUCTIONS ON ROADS.
TO THE EDITOR, Sir, —Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper for a few remarks, in which I hope I shall not offend anyone beyond forgiveness. Sir, in your issue of the Bth, £ saw something about gorse on the roads. Now, Mr Editor, this reminds me of the Thistle Act: the Government could not keep them out on their own lands, so it fell through. It is very amusing to see the worthy members of the Tomuks Road Board threatening others whilst the roads close to the Road Board house are covered with matagoari (1 think they call it it) to such an extent that no one can tell where the road is, unless they look vry diligently. Mr Editor, I think, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Whilst these gorse notices are flying about, some folks are planting willow stakes on roads, or have got them growing and well secured with barbed wire to keep them there. Now, Mr Editor, I believe, whether used or not, a spade is a spade, and a road is a road.—l am, etc., G. Edgeler. Tern aka, Oct. I2H>.
