It was decided, after considerable discussion, to notify the three local members ot- the Waim&iri City Council, Messrs Walter, Spencer, and Patterson, that it xvaa the Association's rash that the ratepayers' money should be used in the purchase of a sprayer, rather than in tho proposed hot mix for road making and repairing, it being considered that an efipenditure of £3OOO for the improvement of 15 miles of road) vr&B too costly.
