The deputy-ion urged that elttention be given to Jfhe latter [road which would be of great benefit to the district. The hill leading up to the Post Office was another that required metalling. The hill on Ad Sam’s road the grade being a heavy one HT Til became impassable in wet weather — the grij.de being, a heavy one was at limes difficult to negotiate. The road leading to Mr Hock's property also needed attention. The small stretch of road from McKenzie's corner on the Papakura road was in a very bad state, and wanted reforming. Cr.
