PIPIROA FERRY.
A PONTOON WANTED. KOPU PUNT NOT AVAILABLE. No group of people has been more active than the Thames Chamber of Commerce in the matter of the provision of a ferry Over the Piako River at Pipiroa, as that body fully realises the benefit to the shopkeepers of Thames that the shortening of the route from one portion of the Plains will be. When the HauraJki Plains County Council advised the Chamber that the want of. a pontoon was holding up the ferry, and decided to approach the lessees of the Kopu ferry in regard to borrowing the pontoon, which had been supplied tihem, but which was jiot now in use, the Chamber also, took a hand. It has now advised tiie County that Messrs. R. P. Gibbons, Ltd,, will not lend the pontoon, and that it is unable to. find another .that would be suitable.
The county is prepared to’ establish the ferry if a punt can be supplied, but it is unlikely to sanction the purci; use of a punt for so short a period until the bridge is built.
