DUST AND NOISE
NUISANCE AT HOSPITAL COMPLAINT BEFORE BOARD Masterton, December 20. In a letter to to-day’s meeting of the Wairarapa Hospital Board the Pahiatua Chamber of Commerce drew attention'to the nuisance caused at the Pahiatua Hospital by dust and noise through the mam road, a few hundred yards from the borough boundary, being metalled instead of tar-sealed. When a wind of any velocity at all was blowing the dust blown from the road across the hospital was indeed a nuisance, and the letter suggested that the board take the matter up with the Pahiatua County Council, which body was responsible for the portion of road mentioned. The Main Highways Board might contribute to the cost, and it was stressed that tar-scaling work only was required, not necessarily bitumen work. • Mr. P. Tullock thought that in a case such as this the Highways Board might consider subsidising the work, though it was not usual for it do so unless the work was according to its own specifications. The matter, also, could be placed before the Minister of Public Works, who also was M.P. for Pahiatua. Eventually it was decided to recommend the proposal for the favourable consideration of the Pahiatua County Council. ■
