PLANTS FOR ROADSIDES
Request To Board (From Our Own Reporter) HOKITIKA, November 5. The National Roads Board is to be asked to determine a suitable plant or bushes for all new embankments as soon as new construction works were completed. This was decided by the annual conference of the South Island Local Bodies’ Association. This would prevent “the disgraceful disfigurement by noxious weeds which invariably follow such work,” said Mr A. T. Sloan. “This is a first-class sentiment, and one I have been expressing at the Roads Board table for the last two years,” said Mr J. S. Thorn, a board member. “Fortunately it has now met with some success. District commissioners of works have authority to spend a reasonable amount on just what you are advocating.”
