ROADS IN PIAKO.

TO THE EDITOR. Sin, —Your Piako correspondent may reiterate the statement ;<" the bridges on the H'limlton-Morrinsvillc road, but that he is entirely wrong I still maintain. He says it is only recently since these bridges have been attended to. This is not the case, as he can find out by asking to see the rocoids in the Board's minute-book, piovided he be <i uitepayer (which I lu\c every loason for believing he is not). I say, and I ought to be the best judge of the matter, that the biidges are safe enough to c.ury present tiailic, and the suttleis or general public need not be afiaul to tra\ el. llegauling the replacing of the bridges, he will also be able to get all pai ticulars from the secretary of the Boaid (if he is a ratepayer). If your coi respondent takes my advice he will look to some other biidges with which he is moie intimately concerned, ond which really do require plopping up to keep them in their places, although they are not quite so old as some of these he wiites about. I shall write no more on this subject, but I consider it due to the Boaid, and also to myself, as I have been in charge of these loads tor some time past, to explain that matters aie not at all in the bad plight your couespondent would lead the travelling public to believe. Regaidmg the survey I say nothing, as that is simply a niattci for the Board to deal with as they please. Legalising the load will not improve it much for traffic. — I am, etc., T. Va. ,S\ndi>. Hamilton, 2nd August, 1881. [Mr Stindes' assumption that our correspondent has the charge of road and bridges in another district is incoripct We .lie yldd, howevei , to be as^uiod that the structure-* refencd to are not in such a bad condition as they wore represented — in good faith — to be. — Ed.]
