Chathams road money
Chatham Islands reading will get a boost over the next year: the District Roads Council has recommended that extra money be made available for work there.
The work programme includes $20,000 additional funds for . upgrading Air Base Road, $30,000 for seal extensions in Waitangi township and for the crushing of road metal. The sub-contractor who will crush metal for the airport has advised the Chatham Islands County Council that he will take 'the large primary crusher off the island once the crushing work for the airport is completed. >On present timing, the crusher will leave the island before Christmas ths year. A machine of this type is not likely to be back on the island for about seven years.
“While the heavy machinery is on the island and while it can be done we should make every endeavour to give them extra money,” the acting district commissioner (Mr M. R. Lancaster) said. “It would not be economic to do this work later without the heavy machinery.”
