Hutt County Council that the Wellington' City Coun-' cil are opening up the road at every joint of the water-main on, the Wainui-o-mata Road, tightening the joints up, covering the hole made in the road, nnd then testing the main. If the joint leaked the road was torn up again. As a result' of this the Waintli-o-mata Road was; said to be getting in a deplorable, condition.. On. the motion of Councillor D. R.
