MAIN ARTERIAL ROADS.
Frequently advocacy of State control of the main arterial roads was repeated yesterday in speeches made in connection with the Parliamentary tour. Mr Poland, M.P., and Mr D. W. Jack, Mayor of Whangarei, both urged that there could be no satisfactory system of roadmaking until the Government took over the control of the main roads.
Mr Jack created laughter by remarking that promises had been made for many years, generally at. election time, that an assured system of finance for local bodies would be provided, but it had not yet come to pass. The Hon. A. M. Myers, in some remarks at Waipu, said that the time had arrived for a. comprehensive Local Government Bill. This, he said, would have to be a leading plank in the policy of the future.
