Hodgson, solicitor, of Opotiki, in giving evidence on behalf of the Aard service car company before the Transport Board in Rotorua, when he stated that the Public Works Department were doing practically no -maintenance work on the Opotiki/Motu Road. The chairman said that the statement was quite untrue and contrary-
[ to fact as the same number of surI facemen were employed as usual. He then'went on to say that unless the r Motu Road were- kept maintained | there would often be no main high1 way outlet to Gisborne owing to eonsiderable slips on the Waioeka Road. A petition is being got up for a service to be maintained on this road j and it is reported that the Toa Toa | factory and residents have already 1 written to the board. h The clerk was instructed to write to the chairman of the Transport ; Board advising him of the f acts.
