BRIDGE POLICY.
A PETITION CIRCULATING. A petition now circulating on the Hauraki Plains states that the County Council proposes to erect a bridge across the Waihpu River at Kirikiri and one across the Piako at Pipiroa and that the erection of the bridges had not been sanctioned by the ratepayers. The general Opiniop of the ratepayers was, it is alleged, that at present it was inexpedient to erect the said bridges and that expenditure on roads and road communication was more essential to the interests of the ratepayers, “Wherefore your petitioners tiumbly pray that the erection of the said bridges be not authorised by the Public Works Department, br the Marine Department, until a vote of the ratepayers within the said County has been .taken upon the proposal to erect such bridges and the result of such poll i-s favourable to the erection of the same, and also that no subsidy be paid by the Public Works Department to the Hauraki Plains Cbunty Council towards the cost of erection of the bridges until a poll has been taken, and carried.”
