of crushed metal, and work is in hand on the central section. At date some 344 cubic yards have been crushed, and placed on the road. The first-men-tioned section has always been a rough one, and the work carried out should effect a marked benefit and give lasting service. South No. 2 road: Work on this road has gone as far as funds will reasonably permit in this financial year, and a considerable improvement has been possible. In addition to corner widening and reshaping some 475 cubic yards of crushed metal have been run out. North Road: The dangerous corner near Moss’s Road was cut back and the road realigned over a distance of approximately ten chains. A start has been made with the metalling programme for this road, but at date only a limited quantity is in place. The portable crusher was transferred to the Hamua pit from Kaiparoro. and a start made with the East Riding metalling programme. Ha-mua-Rongomai Road: The power shovel was employed in cutting back some of the worst corners on the Rongomai side. These were shaped up with the grader and given a coat of crushed metal in every case. A new pipe culvert was laid near the summit of the hill. The Hamua end was trimmed and heavily graded as far as Anderson’s. The first mile of the road has been metalled with crushed metal from the Hamua pit. Wingate’s Road was graded and widened in a few places. The Castle Hill Road was graded and a new track into the riverbed formed on Messrs Dickens’ property. Personal. Mrs L. E.
