Copy of a letter from County Chairman, Hokitika, to the Colonial Secretary.

Sir,—

I have the honour to forward herewith copy of correspondence with the Native Commissioner, respecting the making of a road to give access to Greek's and German Gullies, in consequence of the original road being washed away. I have also the honour to forward herewith a copy of a Resolution passed by the County Council on the 19th July, 1869, recommending that an Act should be passed to cause Native property to contribute an equitable share towards the construction of roads &c., through or adjoining such property, and to request that you will be pleased to cause such Steps to be taken as will give effect to it.
