TAURANGA COUNTY
MEETING OF COUNCIL (From Our Oicn Correspondent.) TAURANGA, To-day. The May meeting of the Tauranga County Council was held on Friday, 13th inst., Mr. R. King, presiding. The district engineer advised that the Highways Council had resolved to recommend the length of Taur agaWhakatane main highway from Maniatutu cattle dip to Otamarakau to be a Government road with £2 for £1 subsidy. The Ake Ake section of the Rotorua direct main highway was also recommended, the Rotorua and Tauranga Counties finding £lO per mile for maintenance and upkeep. A petition signed by 20 ratepayers on the Oropi route was presented protesting against the Ake Ake deviation being made a Government road when there was little if any settlement on this route and practically no rates were forthcoming off the land fronting the Ake Ake route. The petition was ordered to lay on the table for one month. Similar advice was received concerning nine miles on the TaurangaWaihi main highway, the limit of subsidy not being fixed. The Government advised giving a subsidy of £250 toward the Pongakawa School deviation road, £l5O of which would be utilised on providing a public railway crossing.
