ROADS BETTER
ALL ROUTES OPEN SURFACES ROUGH Tlie past few days has seen a general improvement in the roads and all routes are agair reported open, but most of the clay roads are in very rough condition. Several parties left for the North yesterday, after having -aited several days for the roads to become passable Traffic has been very heavy in the Rotorua area, and the Auckland Automobile Association has sent another patrol there. CLOSED FOR METALLING
The district engineer of the Public Works Department has advised the association that a portion cf the Whangarei-Kawakawa main highway, between Akerama and Waiomio, is to be closed to traffic from January 5. This portion of the highway, which is under reconstruction by the Main Highways Board, is now ready for metalling. The reason f.r closing the road is to allow the metalling to proceed rapidly, as the board is endeavouring to provide an ull-weather road for the coming winter. It has been found that cars using these new formations after rain damage the road considerably with chains, with consequent delay in repreparing the road for metalling. While this road is closed cars will be able to proceed via the Ruapekapeka Road.
