CREAM STANDS
DAMAGE TO ROADS Reporting to the last meeting of the Waipa County Council, the engineer, Mr W. G. Macky, suggested that farmers should show as much consideration as possible so far as the location of cream stands on the roadside is concerned'. This Avas, he said, a difficult question on the sand and metal roads but the problem was even more acute on the sealed roads, where the shoulders of the sealed section are broken, away by trie trucks pulling off on the side. When trucks run along the water table in order to get alongside a cream stand, which procedure is incidentally a breach o5 the law. they immediately destroy effective surface drainage. Farmers would assist materially by so locating their stands that the minimum of damage is done to the roads, and by arranging for the sanding or metalling of the approach to the stand during the dry weather so as to enable it to be thoroughly consolidated for the worst period of the year, namely the spring Letter boxes to a lesser extent create the same difficulty as do cream stands.
