GATES ACROSS ROADWAY
Surprise at finding that, on the public road from Martinborough to the coast there were no fewer than 16 gates across the road was expressed by Mr. Stuart Wilson, Wellington, on his return from a three weeks’ holiday spent on a cattle station on the east coast.
“One can imagine the inconvenience and annoyance caused to travellers down this road to have to get out. of their cars and open and shut these gates 16 times in the course of 25 miles,” he said. “The county council seems to charge more than double what it should when it removes a gate and erects a cattle stop, as it lias done in two or three instances. The farmers complain that the cattle stops that have been erected are not satisfactory, and to remedy the position it is my intention to petition Parliament on their behalf.”
