PIAKO COUNTY COUNCIL (Special to Times.) TE AROHA, Monday. j The Piako County Cuuncil met to-day, j Mr W. C. Kennedy presiding-. In a letter from the Minister or Public J Works to Mr \v. S. Goosman. M.P., a copy ; of which was before the council. ! the Minister stated in regard to , the Piako-iti Valley Road (Piako County) to Morgan’s Road (Matamata County; that the position appeared to be ; that while the Piako Council supported the proposal, the Matamata Council ap- 1 peared to take an unfavourable view or ; the matter and would not assist by sup- i porting the proposal. The most the Min- j lster could do would be to obtain a re- ; port with a view to ascertaining whether ' there were any fresh developments since ; the matter was last reviewed. When tills ; was received with all available details it would be included for consideration in respect of Public Works Estimates. Roth county councils would need in the first, instance to legalise the road line in their respective areas and consider what con- j tributions they were prepared to give to- | wards the cost of forming and metalling j the road. | It was decided to forward a letter of appreciation to Mr C. 11. Burnett, ex M.P.. | Tauranga, for his services to the county j portion of the electorate during the term i he was its Parliamentary representative | An application, accompanied by photo- ■ graphs, for employment by the council, was received from Rajk Sandor, or Budapest. The applicant enumerated his credentials in engineering, especially with regard to asphalt and tarred road work, and expressed his desire to take up similar work In New Zealand. As at present the council has no vacancy in its stall’, the applicant will be informed accordingly. The application will be filed for future reference.
