PINES BEACH ROAD
TO TBS BDITOE OP TBX PBZBS. fei. Sir,—As a regular user of the Pines lafeißeach road. I should like to express Ideas on tt. It is in no way a credit responsible for its pre-
sent condition. The shingle, which is absolutely useless, is a foot deep in parts, with portions of it bigger than a cricket ball. It is bad enough for cars, but to cyclists and those unfortunates who may have to walk along it, it is a positive ordeal. It is too much to hope that something will be done other than talk to put the road in decent condition, but I can tell those responsible, as one who has travelled over many roads in the Dominion, that so far as points go for a bad road the Pines Beach road is an easy winner.— Yours, etc., ROAD USER November 30, 1940.
[This letter was referred to the clerk of the Rangiora County Council, Mr S. G. Dailey, who said he had had the county foreman and the graderdriver make an inspection of the road. They found that the county’s portion of the road, about one mile 16 chains from the end of the poplars to the beach, was in first-class order. It was, in the opinion of at least one of the Pines Beach residents, a regular user, as good as the average macadam road. The shingle was nowhere more than three inches in depth.]
