"il ' bngikekr's bbpoet. I Mr D. Sinclair reported :— nK I M»ngapne-The short piece of the ior road froco the end of the metal to Mr I e Bellve'a ©to has been formed by the £ r roadmen nith Mr Bellve's dray, but there b y is no metaVyet. Lower down on Taonui lte, . or Denton'» road, there are about 26 ' ee ohaina wheie no formation bw been w " made, whioh will be very bacl in the I winter. On his side drains should be l eß out and the rotd formed and metalled, at Ic " I iksooet of about iSO, including the removal 1 10 of two danfteroot points. Two netting ow wire groins are b<Sog placed on the bank '° of the river at Mn McDonald's, but the ? expeiimept to be otany use will run intc '" more moWey. *° Pohnugina Biding—Formation or she Branch-Road and at tip end of Pohan Kr gina Valley Bo&d and clearinjz in Bee hive Creek all but finiejed. The Coa r Creek settlers should t ate .steps to get i j"' , riding track down to the yreim, ae thi pnbliu are trsspnssing on t'ne prnpertie )nB of Meesrs Bray and H»rriaon. 90 ' Coal Creek Kiiflni!—l4o,,cbMna o 'K' metalling has been done on the mai . . ridge rcpd, which leaves only a mil le ." undone. A small length of 23 chaina o thq top end of the surveyors' paok trie on ' shculd be metalled, if possible, by usin * the surplus from the main ridge loot , The Apiti bridge repairs are not g .in. 66 on as satiafaotory as migH be. T-t Govoroment required an alteration^»it , tbe cootraob wan let-, involvint: A,, ii . • creased cost of £40, while a o&eali ,10n Is eiperienced in obtaining n*V^i specified by Government, The fee be tractors do not seem to underetfui'f t' nnn nature of the work required. Aj ie "„" driving track could be made fron/ti i) bridge to the main ridge road tjpooi m the properties of Messrs Bainbnti«£e ai 500 Wileon, instead of the proposed fttPJ mn bridge at Londo"'s ford. Mangapiko Hiding—A piece of roac )m j 15 or 16 chains, on the main rea and through Apiti, should be formed am j metalled. Mr Carmody has taken'n a '° notice of the request to prooeed with th ' ur ' metalling on the Apiti-Norsewood road ,re : and I fear it is too late to get it don )ral this season. ,n • ' Umutoi Riding—The bash tracks ar te f' bad in places. The teapo'ary repair is are of little use and in places almost i waste of money, the is so deep. .J Tamaki Riiiing—T'e formation be yona Digger'e Crp'k is progreßsinj ina slowly and the clea'iog in the Delawan ore is nearly finished.' As soon as the con on " traotor finishes tlis clearing the wore '?*" part between ridings can be im
