The matter of the delay of bridging the rivers in South Westland was discussed at some length, and in view of the fact that several parties going to the Glaciers had to return lately, it was resolved that the Canterbury Automobile Association be communicated with, asking them to use their endeavours to get the work pushed on, as there is no excuse for the present delay, which is causing inconvenience to travellers using the South road, besides being dangerous. The rivers referred to arc the Little Waitaha, Little Wanganui. Waitangi and the Tatare. It was resolved, also, to use v every endeavour to have the streams bridged mi the Kumara-Otira Road, the Canterbury Automobile Association having intimated that it would assist in having that important work accomplished.
