Hon. J. G. Coates) in the House of Representatives yesterdav. “These facts illustrate the extraordinary strides which we have made in road construction in comparison with other countries,” Mr. Coates added.
The remarks were apropos of the publication in an English illustrated paper of some photographs which were anything but flattering to New Zealand roads. Mr. Coates told Mr. W. S. Glenn (Rangitikei), win brought the subject to the notice of the House, that he was afraid he could not give another ver«’o«r al otw razzia.
