GISBORNE PROTEST.
road to milford sound. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) GISBORNE, Tuesday. Adverse comment on the action of the Government in spending a large sum of money 011 the Eglinton Valley Eoad to Milford Sound, which waa used mostly for pleasure, notwithstanding that unemployment fluids were to be utilised, was made at a meeting of the Gisborne Chamber of Commerce to-day, and it was suggested a protest to tlio Government should be made. Speakers said it required £300,000 to put tlie Napicr-Wairoa railway line in order, but the Government was spending £250,000 on a road merely for a scenic route. After discussion it was decided to write to the district members of Parliament asking them to place the needs of the district before Parliament, with special emphasis on the requirements for railway communication.
