The Road to Palmerston North
Sir, —When is the Main Highways Board going to do away with the toll bridge on the road through the Makerun swamp? Is it not time’the Government stepped in and made a demand on the local bodies concerned to carry it out, and not keep on arguing about which is the best route to Palmerston Notrh? Why should motorists have to go all the way out to the sea coast at Foxton and then inland again? Why should they have to drive up and down hills through Tokomaru when there is a level road across the Makerua swamp? Are we motorists to go on like this, for ever? What really is the Government going to do-about this problem of a direct road to Palmerston North? It is up to the Labour members of Parliament to show us what they can do and let up hope before the winter comes that we shall see it done and not promised.—l am, etc., FED UP.
