BOROUGH IMPROVEMENT The Carterton Borough Council staff have just completed tarring Pembroke Street, its full width, as far as the railway line, and the improved appearance of the thoroughfare is very manifest. Attention has also been given to the storm water drainage system at Faraday Street, which will prevent an accumulation of water lying in the street in future, after heavy rain. The Carterton Borough staff have been engaged attending to the low pressure water pipe line on Mr Rayner’s farm at West Taratahi. It appears that some of the pipes have been leaking, creating swamp conditions in the adjacent land, causing it to be useless for farming purposes. The nuisances has now been overcome.
