In reference to the piercing of the Wainui-o-mata tunnel, a correspondent, signing himself “Fair Play,” sends us a letter, of which the following contains the gist:- “I think it only fair that Mr John Barton, whose modesty prevents him from blowing his own trumpet, should get some credit for the satisfactory carrying out of the above work. It was he who made the original surveys, plans, &c., and gave the starting points and levels, also making the calculations.”
