READER WOOD,
Provincial Secretary.

(1) Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, March 18th, 1875.

SIR,--

I have the honour to state that the Resident Engineer in charge of road and bridge work in the Waikato has represented to the Minister for Public Works the bad state of repair the bridge over the Whangamarino, on the Mercer and Newcastle main road, is in.

As the General Government are handing over to the Provincial Treasury large sums from the proceeds of the sale of confiscated lands in the Province for roads, I have the honour to call your attention to this matter, and at the same time to inform you that the General Government have no funds out of which they can continue to keep this road in repair.

I have, &c.,
DANIEL POLLEN.

His Honor the Superintendent,
Auckland.

(2) Superintendent’s Office,
Auckland, 31st March, 1875.

SIR,--

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 18th instant, No. 95, in which you call attention to the state of the bridge over the Whangamarino Creek, on the main road between Mercer and Newcastle.

You state that “large sums from the proceeds of the sale of confiscated lands in the Province” are being handed over to the Provincial Treasury. I observe that the whole amount received on this account up to the present time is only £2,867 19s. 1d., and that no payments whatever have been made to the Province since September, 1874. I have therefore to request that you will inform me of the amount now at the credit of the Province on this account, and when it will be available, so that the work referred to in your letter, and other necessary works of the kind, may be undertaken without delay.

I have, &c.,
G. GREY.

The Hon. the Colonial Secretary,
Wellington.

(3) Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 9th April, 1875.

SIR,--

In compliance with the request contained in your Honor’s letter, of date 31st March last, I have the honor to enclose herewith a statement showing the amounts which have accrued to the Province on account of the sales of Confiscated Lands to the 27th March last, and to inform your Honor that the sum of Seven hundred and twenty-eight pounds fourteen shillings, being the balance shown by that statement as payable to the Province, will be immediately remitted.

I have, &c.,
DANIEL POLLEN.

His Honor the Superintendent,
Auckland.
