The Public Works Department wrote disapproving of the one tender received for the construction of a culvert off the Masterton-Martinborough Main Highway on account of the high price. The department suggested that the council should either call fresh tenders or else do the work itself. It was decided to construct the culvert with council labour. It was resolved to carry out improvements to the Longbush Road, by widening near the school. I ’A proposal to form the footpath from the Taratahi Hotel to the Clareville Post Office was approved. The council is to contribute £1 for £1 of the cost of the . work. At the request of the Wairarapa Automobile Association it was decided to grade the parking area at the Mount Holdsworth camp.
