WESTERN HUTT ROAD
What WiD Future Hold? There is a.unanimity of opinion among residents, along the Western Hutt Road that in the very near future that road will be made the main highway through to the Wairarapa, and that the railway will run to Silverstream from Waterloo. Several of them speaking to a “Dominion” reporter yesterday confirmed the statement previously published that no replacements were being made of railway lines north of Lower Hutt station. The work done was merely patchwork. ’The time for extensive repairs was long overdue. The scheme as they understood it was that the railway was to be done away with and the present road widened to take in the width now occupied by the lines. Where the railway was running below the present road level it would be built up by heavy rock secured by cutting back'the hill which bounds the road on the western side for certain distances.
