TRACK TO GERMAN TERRACE.
(To the Editor of the Westport Times.) Sir, —Your well-known love of fairplay and- the weight of our own grievance have mainly elicited from us a representation of the great necessity for a track to this terrace, which, strange to say, has hitherto been altogether ignored, while other and less productive places have had the boon granted them. Wo see bv your issue of last week that one locality which is not by any means central, and has already had more money than any other terrace expended on it, is still agitating for further outlay, which will benefit but a very small portion of the inhabitants ; this in the face of the real necessity of our own case, for very few of us can get to town now without thanking Heaven for the liberality and discernment of that system which allows the most important terrace in the district, containing by far the largest and most gold-produein g population no the Great North Lead (and from its great natural productiveness bidding fair to continue so even when others are languishing away) to be separated from Westport by, so to speak, a sea of mud, when a verv small outlay would form a track branching from one of those already made, and which would conduce to the comfort of the inhabitants here and the profit of Westport. In conclusion, if more money is to be laid out in tracks (and there ought to be) German Terrace should be the first considered by virtue of its necessity, its importance," and its future. - Begging pardon for our intrusion, and hoping you will give insertion to the foregoing,—We are, yours respectfully, WoßKixa Mixers. German Terrace. [Our correspondents would observe that, by the deputation who lately waited upon the District Engineer, it was suggested that a track should be made along German Terrace, for the mutual benefit of the two places.]
