OPARURE.
The work of making the approach to the bridge over the Mangapu river is proceeding, and should be completed before winter sets in. It is to be hoped the new approach will be an impiv.ve- ■- ment on the old one, as there is now a lot cf traffic on this road. In past years tlit uedit of keeping the road decent was greatly due to Mrs Joseph, who got the Maoris to subscribe for the purpose of repairing the worst places. The Mangawhitikau river is now spanned by a bridge, and travellers have not to face the really dangerous ford, as in past winters. This is a most welcome circumstance to the settlers, as they were dreading the fact of having to cross in the winter.
