ROADS AT WAITOA.

Tiil settlers living clown the Waitoa river below Campbelltown, have a very just grievance. They have no practicable means of access to their lands, except by trespassing on private property, even for hoise traffic. Some action should be taken to open up the road, more especially by so doing a large area of Government land would be made available. Already some cash payment settlers are located on this land, and they find that though they have to pay rates, they have not as they v ere led to believe any road to their pioperty. The Waitoa Highway Board have done all they could with the funds at their disposal, and it is only fair and reasonable that the Government should step in and render some assibtance. The Kawaua load was partially formed by the Government two years ago, but it has never been passable even for cattle. The highway board some time ago accepted a tender for deepening the Government chain at £80, and at the last, meeting let a contract to Messrs Ferguson and Mann for ballasting the road along this drain the conditions being that it shall be made passable for- half-a-ton, the contractors to maintain it for three months. Tt is surely hard that the ratepayers should haA c to make practicable loads shown on maps as being made by Government, especially when it is taken into account that the majority of the land to which these roads give access is still in the possession of the Government.
