O’Brien, M.P., as follows: With reference to the representations which were made on the 28th ultimo at Kumara by a deputation from the Kumara Borough Council relative to the Awatuna—Flowery Creek road being adopted as a main highway, I wish to advise that I have communicated with the Main Highways Board concerning the proposal. The Board informs me that while it has indicated its policy in respect of the proposed connection of Flowery Creek, there is no intention at present to carry out construction work on this section as all available funds are required for the immediate needs of existing highways. The Board states further that in any case it does not contemplate revoking any highway through the Kumara Borough and the maintenance of these roads is being provided for as far as its limited funds will allow.”
