CAMBRIDGE NEWS.
the monthly meeting of the Borough Council there was a fairly lengthy discussion anent the bad condition of the bridge over the Karapiro Kiver. The bridge Is on the main highway to Rotorua. It is felt that now the Highways Board is allowing a subsidy of £ 2 to £ 1 on bridges, the question of providing a new structure should be seriously considered. The council discussed alternative sites for a bridge with a view to doing away with the eteep approach down Duke Street on the Cambridge side, and the circuitous route on the Karapiro side. It was felt that a high-level bridge from the top of Duke Street hill to the Karapiro side would be too costly and tan alternative and straighter route, linkIng up with Alpha Street with an angle to Duke Street was suggested. Finally it was agreed to invite the P.W.D. engineer, Mr. Hall-Jones, to meet the council and inspect the present bridge and sites for a new bridge.
