(By
HAMILTON, Last Night. "A Minister cannot be expeeted' to go scrambling 'liell l'or leather' round the country receiving deputations from eounty councils, but they should itemise the needed roading improvements m order of ux'gency for submission to the Public Wofks Department, " said Hon. R. Semple to-day in answer to a county deputation. Tho Minister said the Government intended to carry out substantial improvements to country roads and get farmers out of the mud. The cqunty councils would have to scrap old methods of construction and go in for modern machinery for major jobs. They had speeded up jobs by 50 per cent. and affeeted savings of 50 to as much as 90 per cent. in expenditure. Tho Government, he said, had in mind a five-year plan for ixnproving roads throughout the DominiOn and wanted to go about it systofliatically and not in pieeemeal fashion.
