Mr Dntliie expressed bis surprise at the general appearance <if tbe country, and learning of its prosper ity, anticipated a big boon in the South when the rivers were bridged. Like other‘travellers Mr Duthie -K»s surprised with timber so handy all along the roads, the streams were not bridged ioncr ago, and lias expressed his intention of bringing tbe matter personally under the notice of tlr.

The flqoijs last week, rendered some of the river crossings op the plain south road very rough. The ford of the %aitangi has changed particularly, while the crossing at Little ■ Wanganui Is now very rough, and the northern approach is also very bad, some chains of the main road being a river bed, owing to half of the main stream finding its way through Ferguson’s creek. Motorists at j,ht< week-end had to make some difficult crossings at sojuije yt the smaller streams. It seems to be a great pity that these pressings which lipid up or delay traffic so frequently enpnop be bridged seeing that there is ample material in the adjacent forests. Mr J. D, Gillies, Resident Engineer, js now in South Wost- , land in connection with the river erosion at Inter-Wanganui. Some river di- _ version work is to be attempted in order to entice the main hptjy of the wator from the north bank to I, the centre channel where no damage can he done. 1 Don’t IivV XT; .‘by shadow of poor clothing. r.opr cloth jog oil stys. its
