WINSTONE PARK ESTATE.

CONCRETE ROAD SCHEME

An agreement was reached last night between Mr. Geo. Winstone and the Mt.

Roskill Road Board for the roading of tlie Winstone Park estate with concrete.

Mr. CJeo. Winstone has agreed to lay a concrete strip 12 feet wide measured from both side kerbs from" Dominion

; Road, .provided the necessity for cen/structihg culverts on the boundary of j his property on the east could be rej mitted, and that in place of shell blind- " ing for the subsidiary roads dirty red scoria blinding be substituted, "and "the . plan of water reticulation submitted to i the board be accepted as satisfactory. 1 In laying put Dominion Road with t\vo ;

side strips of concrete 12 feet wide, the

:' requirements of the Tramways Uopartwill be for 18 feet reservation of j. width, including haunches, the centre 'of the roadwaj' reserve for tramway to 't be laid down at present in a 6-inch course 'of scoria properly top-dressed with fine. I material and rolled according to elTiciont ' methods| of construction. This, latter surfacing should be amply adequate, since when trams arc ultimately laid the : whole centre of the roadway will be .excavated and sleepers laid down. Therefore this centre construction will be purely temporary. In deference to Mr. Winstone's action

the board agreed to relieve him of some. 1 construction' of - the short• * roads AvKich 1 ' lead towards, .bis eastern boundary at Jll chain Mr,' 5...T,. JDibble, ■ engineer, .waited uijon t\w Road, Board ■ last night and submitted a- plan of : the ' subdivision-*-of*- the estate, which , ; v/as
