Mr Wallis waited oh the Board with reference to a road to his land in Governor's Bay. The Chairman and Mr Anderson were appointed to meet Mr Wallis and view the road. Mr Hanson moved, and Mr Tapley seconded—" That all the slips and tussocks be cleared from the new Dyer's Pass road, also that about a week of day labor be tint on from the new road to the top of the Pass. Mr Anderson opposed the motion, on the ground that the road was fit for the traffic that it had on it, and further that it was necessary to be very careful of the funds, which were getting low. The Chairman concurred with the latter view. Mr Tapley said it was a work more needed than several other jobs the Board had lately done; in fact, the bad state of this road affected the living of some of the Governor's Bay residents.
