Board, I notice that the claim of Mr E, Meredith, jim t| „ for. fencing etc., along the branoh roa'4 to • V;;;® TJriti ia, at last, about to be settled. 'A . • great amount of inoonvenience' has been : experienced and expense incurred through : the shutting up of this' road, and it is to be hoped that the Board will now make all ariangemonts . perfect, so that the shipping plaoe may in future be reached by a legal highway. As matters stand at present the publio are obliged to haul their produoe on the soft sandy beach, although a line of road has been surveyed > for years past.; : Lis' Tke right of the public to reach TJriti byany route.except the beach is ignored by b J f Dll h' ; ® l 9i'?ow. of the road, perhaps some arrangement would bo made which would enable the settlers to haul their produceto the ship> pmg place on an Tnlaihd track without being threatened, with prosecution for V trespass., . / . ■ .
