AN OLD, OLD STORY
OHOPE roads have probably had more written about them than any other thoroughfares in the town or county. No roadway has had more derisive adjectives employed, ih its description than has ill-starred Pohutukawa Avenue a strip of public property which serves the frontage of one of the loveliest beaches in the Dominion. Dust-ridden in the summer, puddled in the winter the Ohope road,way has fallen between stools since its inception. Shades of the painful controversy of 1 to 58, and the phantom of the Main Highway proposal, these two questions have enabled the County to successfully side-track the main issue for the past three years. However the guilty person game enough to reintroduce the subject of its maintenance is the chairman of the Progress and Ratepayers' League. We are glad to note however that tenders are to be called, for the: removal of the overhanging tree.
