MANY DEPUTATIONS
Requests To Main Highways Board Bv Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, March 13. Eleven deputations from different local authorities seeking assistance in the matter of road construction were received by the Main Highways Board at a sitting tit Auckland. Few promises of assistance were given, but special reports were ordered in some eases. To most of the requests, Mr. A. J. Baker, deputy-chairman of the board, explained that the demands on Ihe board had been so heavy that its present functions were sufficient to absorb all its funds without a thought being given to subsidiary roads or anything but urgent work on main highways. The members of the board are to leave for North Auckland to-morrow to receive deputations at Dargaville, Kutaia and Whangarel. They are to return Io Auckland on Thursday and leave for- south that evening. A meeting of the board is to be held at Wellington on Friday.
