WHIROKINO HIGHWAY.
PLANS FOR THREE MILES COMPLETED. It was reported to . the Horowhenua County Council on Saturday, by the County Engineer (Mr. Brewster) that the plans of three miles of the Levin-Whirokino road (No. 1 Main Highway via Foxton) . had been completed, and that as soon as the estimate was compiled they .could be (forwarded to the Highways Board for approval. CRITICISM OF PRESENT ROAD. Reference was made by the chairman to criticism of the Whirokino section of highway bv a correspondent in a Wellington paper. That writer understood that the Council were pi'oceeding with the other northern Highway (No. CO), owing to an 'arrangement with Palmerston North, to send all the ti’affic that way. The statement was absolutely untrue. The Council had gone on with the work in the Tokomaru riding in order to give more of their ratepayers benefit from an improved highway than would be the case if they had done the Wjhirokino section. The correspondent’s complaint was more against formation than maintenance, and the Council hoped'in the future to make that better.
