ROAD MAINTENANCE
STATEMENT BY MR, MASSEY.
(BX lELECISAPH.—MESS ASSOCIATION.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Replying to a deputation from suburban bodies with regard to damage to voads by heavy commercial motors, Mr. Massey said he did not think it was possible to raise all money required for • main roads maintenance at the present time. New Zealand's credit was good in London, but if we sought to borrow millions for this purpose and were found not to be getting good value for the money, our credit would drop to zero. Many county councils could dp more than they were now doing. There would be legislation limiting the weight of vehicles carried on certain roads, and an adjustment in the direction of revenue from license fees from commercial and motor vehicles.
