MORE BITUMEN
Bitumen supplies' are piling up in the City Corporation's Clyde Quay Depot, another 300 tons having arrived by the Tahiii. The present unsettled weather is interfering with the work in hand, but preparations for the big roading programme are being steadily carried out, and when the big American plant, now somewhere on the way across to New Zealand, arrives, Wellington will see the beginning of probably the biggest roadmaking drive made in the Dominion. There is a vast programme ahead, but the process is rapid, and the square yards of permanent paving will add up smartly. Just when the Butt road is to be undertaken has yet to be decided, as has also the manner in which the work is to be done. Tenders are to be called within the next week.
