The bridging of Broken River, on tin* main. West Count Road, at Castle 11 ill. will shortly be com pie ted. The actual work on the bridge itself was finished some time ago, hut the construction of the approaches wan deferred. 'The contractor, Mr D. Henry, has now had his gear dumped on the site and intends to make a start some time tills week. The fording of this river has wpcatcdly given trouble to motorists after heavy rain or northwest winds which bring down the* snow water from the mountains.

For many years no hardwoods have been planted in State Forest plantations, for several reasonfi, says the Director of Forestry Air E. Phillips I'truer, in a review ol alforrst atio 11 woik in New Zealand. Of the world’s Umber requirements about 89 per cent, are softwoods, With the exception of eucalypts, most of the valuable hardwoods require a longer rotation and also beltsy soil than the conifers now being planted. There are already in the 'Dominion large areas of forest which contains hardwoods suitable tor many purposes for which the latter limber Is superior to softwoods. In New Zealand most of the valuable eucalypts are subject to serious insect attacks, and, in any case, eucalypti* timbers are easily procurable from the \mstralian States. A further point Air Turner makes is that fabricated hoards and other combinations will in the future be largely used in substitution for sawn timber, and softwoods aie more suitable than hardwood/* lor making the cellulose from which the falrrieiitcd hoard types are nmdo.
