MANGAPOHUE ROAD.
The importance of the Mangapohue road has as yet not been recognised to the extent that it should be. It is one of those main roads which is of great importance to the back blocks and Te Kuiti. It affects settlers in the counties of Awakino, Kawhia and Waitomo, and is the main outlet for a large number to the Main Trunk at Hangatiki. Settlers are recognising the necessity of it being completed and put in order for vehicular traffic and a petition is in circulation asking that the road should be completed. The petitioners claim that they have been settlers, resident in their respective districts for some considerable time, engaged in stock raising, and that the road, besides the necessity of completion for vehicular traffic, is required for a stock route, and is the shortest road for a large number of settlers to the railway. The road runs from the northern end of the Mairoa road and affects a large number of settlers. It is urged that there is an intervening distance of about nine miles which, during nine months out of the twelve, is impassable. In view of the Marakopa Dairy Factory having become an accomplished fact, settlers consider it gives more urgency to their claims.
