THE NORTHERN APPROACH.
Tfee improvement of the Northern approach was a matter brought up at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Mr Donald Donald touched upon the matter of an economical method of dealing with the question of improvement, being of the opinion that the water from the two river arteries could be made to run in one channel for a small expenditure, probably <£loo, and this would be a big saving in bridge construction. The Chamber passed the following resolution, moved by Mr Donald, "That in the opinion of this Chamber the v/aters of the Waipoua river should be diverted under one or other of the bridges, if practicable, and that the maintenance of two bridges is both expensive and quite unnecessary, and tnat the attention of the Borough and County Councils be drawn to that matter."
