The chief requirement of this district, at pre sent, is a good road. We had contemplated visiting it long since, but were deterred by re ports as to the rough state of the road. Wo should imagine that it would be bad to travel upon in winter, but at this season its uneven ness is the only objection. In hauling produce to market and receiving supplies. thi3 has been found a great inconvenience. It nppears that for years past, tho settlers of the Glenledi dis trict, strange as it may appear, have been thwarted by the Tokomairiro Road Board, in their efforts to obtain a level road between Mil ton and the sea coast. For several years, a level road has beoa formed through the Glen ledi district to the Tokomaidro boundary, and until within the last month the Tokomairiro Board has voted down every motion for appro priating money for opening up the road through their district, and has even refused to allow the Gleuledi Road Board 'or any of the Glenledi settlers to expend money upon the road in the Tokomairiro district. All kinds of paltry ex cuses were made, tho chief one being that the traffic would injure their road ! The real mo tive, however, is supposed to have been, the effect which the extra supply of produce would have upon the market. How so selfish aud nai'row-minded a policy could be entertained by a public body, is altogether beyond comprehen sion, and it is equally inconceivable how the laws could be framed to allow the majority in the Tokoraairiro Board to pursue so unjust and tyrannical a course. It is only within the last month that the Tokomairiro Road Board have given their consent tj the county laying out £250 on the road from the Glenledi boundary to the plain. This, it is hoped, will be sufficient to open up a level road of eight miles, by Low don's gully, from Glenledi township to Milton. By a level road, we mean one with a gentle rise, there being but two or three gradients, the steepest of which is 1 in 17.
