BY-ROADS DAMAGED
Military Traffic in Hutt County
Considerable concern was expressed by members of the Hutt County Council yesterday when dealing with the condition of by-roads in the county. It was stated that heavy military traffic, a type for which such roads were not constructed, was creating a very serious position. The damage was said to be specially serious in the Taupo, Ilorokiwi and Wainui-o-Mata ridings. Cr. Bradey said that in his riding the damage done would take an army of men to put right, and Cr. Yuldwin said that the Wainui Road had also been suffering severely. The traffic to which the byroads were being subjected, fast aud heavy, could only be carried by roads ot the first-class highway type, and the ridings were incapable of financing such construction.
An interview will be sought with the Prime Minister at an early date to lay the position before him.
