Replying to :i question by .Mr O’Rrieu rogaiding the building of :i bridge over The Waikukupa liver, the Minister of Works static! that instruetioiis were issued to proceed with the ercotifin of tliis bridge. and offers were invited Irani settlers and others for the cartage of the titnher. The lowest tender received was eonsidetod unduly high. Further efforts were then made to obtain reasonable offers, hut without success. In November, 1 !>!s{. arrangements were made for linnspori of the timber at a satisfactory rate, but this was delayed during the summer as the W.iilio river was milordable for lorries. The present position of the work is that all piles have been driven, and the erection of the superstructure is proceeding. It is anticipated that the hridee will he completed in about two or three months. The delay was owing to Ike difficulty of putting material on this site at a reasonable eust. hut no serious trouble to transport between Waiho and Rrtn e Hav has been caused, as the Waikukupa ford is neither dillieult nor dangerous and is easily negotiated oxi c in high floods, which rise and subside very (illicitly.
