PATETONGA ROADING.
SLOW PROGRESS BEING MADE.
FORMATION WELL ADVANCED.
Very slow progress has been made, up to the present, with the metalling of the Patetonga main road, and it appears that only about half a mile of the bottom course of metal will be laid for the first month’s work. Unless deliveries of metal are expedited there is little chance of the season’s programme being completed. The Lands Drainage Department is well advanced with the work of preparing the road to receive metal, as though it expected the metal to arrive in greater quantities. Near the junction of the PatetongaKaihere and Mangawhero roads a camp of six tents has been established and arrangements made for grazing a number of horses. It is understood locally that a gang is to be employed imprdving the main road, particularly on the hills on each side of the saleyards, and in claying sections of the Mangawhero road.
