BETTER ROADS.
A BIG CONFERENCE,
The Mayor (Mr J. P. Luke) has sent out invitations for representatives of all local bodies between Wellington and Palmerston North on the west, coast, and Wellington and Maslerton on the east, to attend a conference to bo held in the Council Chamber on Thursday next, to seriously consider the question of the improvement of the main arterial roads out of ’Wellington, which arc said to be in a very bad way at present. Consequent upon the railway “cut,” motor traffic over the main roads has been enormously increased during the past three weeks, and its effect on the roads during this, the wettest season of the year, Ims been very marked. This wear is due to motor traffic —to heavy motorlorry traffic particularly —and the difficulty is to devise some sound scheme which will place the burden on the shoulders of the right people instead of on those of the public generally. That is a matter that will be considered at the conference, which perhaps concerns the country districts even more than it docs Wellington city.
