TO REGISTER HEAVY TRAFFIC
LOAD-O-METERS WANTED
Sometime ago the Alanawatu County Council decided to write the Public Works Department for the loan of a set of load-o-meters and at yesterday’s meeting of the Council, the Department advised that at the present time it was unable to accede to the request. The Department, however, pointed out that the Alain Highways Board had expressed an opinion that all the local bodies in the vicinity of Palmer- - . ston North should co-operate in the purchase' of a set for their own use and suggested that this course be adopted.
The chairman (Cr. W. E. Barber) explained that the Council had already circularised the local bodies, hut the Council had not received much support from the other bodies. Replying to the chairman, the inspector (Mr. W. Berry) stated that thereyjertainly was very heavy traffic going over the roads. “Some of them are well over the limit,” he added.
Cr. Reid moved that the local bodies be again -asked to make repre-sentations-to the Highways Board to purchase a set for the use of the local authorities and also that the Counties’ Association be asked to lend its supipoft, which was carried.
