NORTH AUCKLAND ROADS.

'< STltiLi MUCH TO BE DONE."

The view that, although some of the roads in North Auckland were beinjj brought up to modern highway standard there was still much to be done before North Auckland could reap the full benefit of the tourist traffic, was expressed by the touring manager of the Automobile Association (Auckland), Mr. I\. E. Champtaloup, in an interview given in Whangarei.

"111 view of the great interest of the southern motorists, it is disappointing," said ilr. Champtaloup, "to come north and find roads that apparently have been allowed to deteriorate, and that are evidently not receiving sufficient maintenance to provide comfortable or economical motoring."

During his visit Mr. Champtaloup made arrangements for the establishment of an additional patrol headquarters in North Auckland. The council of the association recently decided to extend its service and appoint another officer, in order that Patrol Skow, whose headquarters are at Whangarei, could be relieved of half his territory and thus be able to devote more time to the central districts.
