Pending the filling of Mr Ell's place Mrs Gilby was also acting as caretaker at the Sign of the Kiwi, the approach to which had been graded. , A gang of men was engaged under a competent foreman on the part of the Summit road between Dyer's Pass and Kennedy's Bush. It was hoped that shortly this stretch would be greatly improved. The reserves beside the road were being cleared of weeds. The supervisor of the Hvork at the Sigh of the Takahe (Mr R. Frazer) reported on the progress made in decorating the armorial room and the memorial room. Arrangements were well ahead to start building the rooms facing north.
