BAD STRETCH OF ROAD
NGARUAWAHIA-HAMILTON MOTORISTS STRONG TERMS (From Our Own Correspojident) HAMILTON, Tuesday. “Shocking, deplorable, disgraceful,” were the terms used by members of the Hamilton branch of the Auckland Automobile Association last evening to describe the condition of the Great South Road between Ngaruawahia and Hamilton. Mr. W. J. K-ing said there was still a deadlock between the Waipa County Council and the Main Highways Board over the question of the subsidy. The council declined to accept an offer of £3 for £1 for permanently surfacing the road. While the authorities were quarrelling the road was deteriorating and the motorists and public generally were suffering. It was decided to make the strongest possible representations to the Main Highways Board, insisting upon adequate maintenance of the highway, and that the members of Parliament for Hamilton, Raglan and Waikato be requested to assist in obtaining immediate action.
