THE ROAD FROM AUBURN TO PORT WAKEFIELD.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir—Your Mintaro correspondent is evidently unacquainted with the matter he referred to in reference to the meeting that took place at Auburn to endevour to get the road hence to Port Wakefield placed on the schedule of main roads. Both the roads from Auburn and Leasingham form a junction at Skillogolee Creek, about six miles out of the 30 to the Port; and the meeting thought it the wisest course to ask that the best aind widest road should be taken, and not, as is inferred, “that one part of the district should he elevated at the fall of another.” Such statements are only apt to mislead when correspondents take up a cause out of their own district, for he mentions that there is a difference of between six and seven miles between the Auburn and Leasingham routes from the Burra, thus plainly showing that he is totally unacquainted with what he has written about, for the actual difference is not half, but to compensate for that there is a better and wider road.
I am, Sir, &c.,
AN AUBURNITE.
