Hoi'S! riling si request lor repairs to tlie Taraninkau Traffic Bridge on tlio Zig-zag Road. Kuniara, the Minister of Public Works has advised Mr Set Idon, M.l'.. sis follows : “When the Hon Mr Hawkeii, Commissioner of State Forests. was at Kuniara on February Kith, hist, he was approached by the .Mayor ol Kuniara, who brought under notice the had condition of the Teramakau Traffic Bridge on Zig-zag Hoad. It was stated that the Bor--011 I'll 'Council was receiving no timber royalties in spite of the fact that si considerable quantity of timber passed over the Ivorougli roads, and for that reason a request was made that the Government provide a grant for the purpose of repairing the bridge. As you are no doubt aware, similar requests have I*oll made on previous occasions, hut it was considered that Government assistance was not warranted. However, the whole position has been again inquired into, and it is found that the bridge is in fair condition, although certain repairs are undoubtedly necessary. The cost of maintaining this bridge was apportioned by a Commission in IPO", between the Kuniara Borough Council and Grey and 'Westland County Councils. and as those bodies are receiving heavy traffic fees. I am of the opinion that they should accept the responsibility of keeping the bridge in a reasonable state of repairs. In these circumstances, I regret to state that T am unable to accede to the request for a Government grant.”
