TO THE EDITOR, Sir —For the last eighteen months I have been urging the Rakaia Road Board to form the road in lancred Street, but although they have cut the gorse down a bit the road is jast as impassable as erer, I think that now would be & good time to give the unemployed work to do on these sort of jobs, especially as I believe the / Board have funds in hand. In Christ- . church and many other places they are straining every nerve to find work for the poor, and I think thai, the Ashborton dis trict should not be behind hand in goin* on with such like work. The Mount Somers Board are noticing the owners of land, they must keep the roads clear, or they will put men on to do it at their expense. Hoping to see something done —I am, etc., RaHupayhiu
