The Minister of Public Works has advised the member for the district that for the present no more money was available for the Tongaportu-Oiiura road, and that contracts to the value of about £l6O were let on the Kiwi road. This is not vorv encouraging to settlers, nnd it will be their duty and the duty of the townspeople to make strong representations to the Minister, or the trade from these places will drift elsewhere.
