CAMBRIDGE. April 10th, 1876.
I believe thnt nothing has been done aa yet towards replacing the bridge at \\ alker'a Gully and Sandy Creek on the Ohaujx) voad. At the former place a few planks have been laid across to euctb'e horsemen to p.»ss, bat tho latter hus to be forded ; both places are of course idip<-n3-able for vehicles. Ir. can bardly be expected that the highway board ctn, with the limited means at its disposal, remedy these matters, but. it is their duty to argu j upon the Government their importance, und to ask, as they have a rikrhfc to dsk that the road shall not remain blocked up any longer. Tho aid received troru the> (.^(vcrumenfc by fhe Waikalo Boards ia little enough in proporuon to tho workthat i* djno ; so tlut the Pakerimu people should have no scrup'e m this mutter, but at unop stir tho authorities up und rt->pon this road. It may be that the pr »sjres>» nia'le by the A 0 paity nt tue culvert at Martyns Creek is snro, b t certviii it is that it is also — to excr pi'fy the adatje, I auppuß — exceed in if ]y alow. It m iy be U rly d >übted whether i 1i 1 will b* ti u.^hed bel'jro the winter and I mtd in d!y say ttat he.vy rain wll uuve >iuv ff^ct but that of improving it. Ltus bo h >ptihil, ho a ever, and tbankfal, that it was not It-ft till the o.d bridge had given way, d.unA^ii'g Boin'body or soaieUnng. OWN CORRESPONDENT.
