“It’s chip, o'hip, chip, all the time,” said a councillor at the Masterton Borough Council’s last meeting when referring to the road maintenance policy of the council. “You send tar to Taranaki and men tp chip the grass off our footpaths. The grass only grows again.” Another councillor stated (reports the Daily Times) that the council had no facilities for storing tar for use, but that when the necessary appliances were secured this would be overcome', and there would be no more "chipping.” The 13 dairy factories in the Bush district last season spent £4OOO in fuel, the bill for which grows bigger each year. A dairy expert told the Pahiatua Herald that the introduction of electric power would yield %d per lb more for butter-ifiat.
