In the course of a report issued from Wellington. Air F. Furkert, Engineer-’ in-Chief, who has returned from Murchison, states that the work of reconstruction on the upper Buller Gorge road alone will take years to complete thoroughly, and will involve an expenditure of over £1,000,000. • When the road is remade it will have to lie constructed across rock slides some of* 5 . them 2000 feet high, reaching right Loin the crests of ridges'down to the river, and all consisting of loose rocks mixed up with a jumble of* fallen trees and debris of various kinds. There are innumerable fissures in the earth, but the widest he saw was abogt eighteen inches, it is not intended to attempt to open that road in the meantime. The Department will concentrate . on an endeavour to obtain communication with the West Coast .by another 1 road. To endeavour to remove some of the slips at the present time would, in "Air Furkert’s opinion, involve unnec- 1 essary risk to life. Whatever Work can be carried out with safety has been commenced, and will be vigorously proceeded with.
