of Her Majesty's reign.

2. In paragraph 2 of his despatch No. 110 of the 18th May, 1897, the Governor stated that full particulars regarding this road would be furnished in due course. There appears, however, to be no record of any further communication on the subject having been received in this Department.

3. The delay in this matter, unless it is due to the most exceptional circumstances, might almost be held to amount to a breach of faith with the public, who were induced to subscribe $600 towards the cost of making this road on the understanding that Government would carry out the work. I should be glad to receive at an early date a full explanation of the causes of this long postponement, and as to whether it is proposed to take steps towards the immediate commencement of the road.
