Those using the south road report the Little Waitalnt river ford is very had at present, being rotlgh aiid with a deep gut which is dangerous for traffic. The former suggestion of lowering the south side of the weir to distribute the overflow waters more equally and prevent less scour in the centre of the weir where the present danger exists, in again beitlg revived, and as the construction of the ap-

proaches to the newly erected bridge, promises to bo a long drawn out affair, the authorities in charge of the road might well consider the advisability of attending to the matter if only by way of experiment in the effort to give some relief to traffic.

The ford at Waitangi river is reported again to he in a very soft condition, frequently delaying motor traffic. Something should be done to establish a horse ferry at this crossing if motor traffic is to be maintained to the Wailio Gorge throughout the winter months twice a week. So far there is no word of any tender being accepted for the bridge contract. Some of the tenderers, it is said, have received back their deposits. As far as can lie gathered the Public Works Department is still considering the matter of accepting a tender or of carrying out the work hv some other means. As it must he several months before the bridge • would be available for vehicle traffic, something should be done in the meantime to establish a horse ferry equal to the traffic requite* incuts and at a reasonable charge to encourage traffic south.
