MAIN HIGHWAYS
POSITION IN HOROWHENUA COUNTY.
Mr. W. H. Field (Otaki) asked the Minister of Public Works yesterday -whether the necessary money would be quickly made available to enable the. Horowhenua County Council to carry out its plans for the completion and paving of the final 18 miles in the Ho • rowhenua County of the, main Wellington- Auckland highway ? “Unless this money is provided at once, over one hundred men will be thrown out of employment and valuable plant and a large sum of loan ifioney bearing interest and sinking fund, will lie idle,” said Mr. Field.
The Minister replied: “The Main Highways Board is recommending the provision of such funds as finances available to it for construction purposes dutring the current financial year will permit. This will enable reformation to be carried out by the Horowhenua County Council during the current financial year. To provide sufficient to complete the 18 miles mentioned during the present year would absorb almost half the amount available for expenditure in the Wellington West highways district, which includes eight other counties, seven boroughs and one town district.”
