ROAD-MAKING MATERIAL
Sir,—ln vour issue of July U there appeared an article which gave, the impression that all the roads in laronah were carpeted with a "tar composition patented in Ilawera." As a matter of fact, there is only a small strip of this preparation down in one county (Hawera), and all the other nwds are composed of a well-known tar preparation manufactured in Wtuigaaui. Yourg in-
formant is quite right' as to the hue road surfaces in Taranaki, but >.ns evidently labouring under the nr&ipprolH'nsion as to the material used. As eudence of what Taranaki is doing I may say that over 300,000 gallons of prepared tars were used during the last eight months—l am, J. V. HOLLOWAY, Wnnganui, July 13.
