Belief Workers on Seasonal Work Because most of the men engaged on unemployment relief work for the Waimca Ccunty Council are leaving to undertake seasonal farm work, a number of small works in various parts of the ccunty will be closed down. The ccunty engineer (Mr W. Bullivant) said at the council meeting that most of the men would probably return after seasonal work, when the works would be reopened. Cr. H. Everett remarked that in the Motueka district, men were leaving farm work to go on to the Motueka aerodrome and other relief works. They found it more profitable on relief works than on farms. The chairman (Mr J, Corder) expressed the opinion that if the Public Works Department offered 15s a day in wages, the councils would probably have to pay that wage. Improvement to Main Highway The Wateea County Qouhcil decided to make representations to the Public Works Department for an improvement of Appleby-Mapua-Tasman I Jubilee Bridge main highway. Cr. R. Teece Introduced the sub-; ject by 1 asking |oc a survey of the mad with a view to a general improvement. The ccunty engineer said he considered that the road was the first work which should be done in the district. He suggested that the dangerous nature of the road should be stressed in making the application- to tin dnartoent It was decided to request an improvement of the road and to suggest that surveys should be prepared ready for work to begin as soon as the Mctueka aerodrome Was finished. .
