A petition, numerously signed, has been presented to the Patea County Council praying for a Road Board on the Waimate Plains. The Council refused to accede to the request, the chairman stating that the refusal would be the means of bringing the whole question of local government before Parliament. It is believed, that only three settlers on the Plains are opposed to the Road Board, and eixty signed in its favor. The census returns show that there are 120 people residing on the Plains but a good many are men working on the road.
