Waikato Behind in Road Improvements
MUCH WORK NOW IN HAND ‘‘The patience of Waikato motorists must be recorded as exceeding that of Job,” declared a Manawatu motorist who returned last week from a tour of that portion of the Auckland province. He stated that for several years he had gone north for his holidays and on each successive occasion he had expected some improvements but they had failed to materialise and only now were the authorities making a determined attempt to put the main highway in order. “It must have been a pleasure for those long suffering northerners to come south at holiday time and glide over the bitumenised surfaces that are to be found on practically all the main routes from Napier and New Plymouth southwards he added. “Local bodies in the southern end of the Island have been much more ambitious than their northern confrers in years gone by. However there are now reconstruction camps to be met everywhere and in two years time the Waikato and Bay of Plenty districts will be able to boast of highways second to none in New Zealand.
