The latter county agreed to pay two-thirds of the cost of the structure and made claims upon local bodies, extending as far as Eketahuna, for the balance. The whole of these' bodies, with the exception of Greytown and Featherston counties, have objected to the allocation made by the controlling authority, hence the necessity for the Commission, which will make the allocation after taking evidence.
