From a report which the Secretary was instructed to furnish to the Clerk of the Waimea County Council, a copy of which was read, it appears that there are 85 miles of main lines of road and 51 miles of branch roads within the district— total, 136 miles; and thafc the estimated cost of making the main roads fairly passable for cart traffic, and the greater part of the branch roads fit for horse traffic ouly, is £4070. Several ?etters were read from the Clerk to the Waimea County Council, applying for ordinary statistical information, which the Secretary reported had been supplied; also, a letter from the same .source requesting an estimate of the damage done by the late flood. The Secretary estimated the damage at afc least £400, and a reply had been sent to that effect. Accounts were paid amounting to £47 17s Gd.
