Mercer, RL. Jameson, H. R. Davison, J. J. Gallagher, and J. J. Duncan. It was decided to go on with the re-erection of the bridge giving access to Waiau j cemetery. Accounts amounting to £ISOO 0s 6d were parsed ior payment. Plans were received from the Lands and Survey Department showing the railway boundary at the Waiau ! bridge. The engineer reported that I according to the plan there was suili- ! cient land available to make a deviation to give better access to the bridge. It was resolved that the improvements | to the approach of the bridge be carried out. Mr R. Bethell wrote drawing the l council's attention to the difficulty of I driving cattle across the School creek bridge, and suggested that the road be; < opened above or below the bridge to permit stock to be driven across Ihe creek. The matter was left in the hands of the Pahau riding members to inspect and report on the suggestion. It was decided to make application for the declaration of the townships in the county as closely populated areas, and thereby have motor vehicles restricted to a speed of 30 miles an hour. It was decided to serve notices to all ratepayers who have gorse or broom growing on their road frontages, and enclose a covering letter to state that if the work is not done in the stipulavcd time the work will be done by the council and charged to the ratepayers concerned.
