ASHBURTON MOTORISTS' CAMP SHIFTED The campers' hut situated on the AshDurton branch of the Canterbury Automobile Association's camping ground near the north approach of the Ashburton traffic bridge, has been removed to the reserve on the opposite side of the main road, which will be used in future as a camping ground by the association. The site of the old ground will be used as an approach to the new railway bridge over the Ashburton river, the work on which has just been begun.
