A progressive road policy is to be adopted by the Ingi«n ood County Council, and at a recent meeting the chairman mentioned that at a later date he intended to mote that a loan he. raised for main road construction Within the County, and the amount he would suggest would be something like £20,000. In view of the main roads legislation . they would get a certain amount of the cost' refunded. The opinion was that a policy of permanent construction was necessary, and he wished the councillors to go into the. matter in the meantime. A permanent construction was only a busi-ness-proposition, and should have been undertaken years ago. . Even without the Government subsidy it would be a payable proposition, and if they had half the cost refunded they would have £IO,OOO to extend the policy.
