THE WHATA WHATA LOSS BY FLOOD.
SiE, — I do rot generally take any notice of the effusions of your Whata What a " own correspondent," but ai his letter dated 31st May contains two deliberate falsohoods I now do so, There were not " several hundred foot of bridgo planking" lost, but five plank*, measuring 135 feet. Tho ti-nber was not sent to Whata Whata " months ago," but about a fortnight before it was carried away. When nfc Whatn Whata on the sth May, I told the ferryman that tome timber had been ordered to be sent up, and that he was to look after it, which, it appears, that ho neglected to do. The person from whom the timber was ordered never informed me that it had been sent, atid I was not aware of its arrival until some time after. I am, &c, Thom\s Wilson, Chairman Newcastle District Board. Te Koao, Ngaruawahia, June 7, 187 C.
