TAITA GORGE ROAD
(To the Editor.) Sir, —How much longer is this particular portion of an important and much-used public road to remain iv its present dan-Rei-ous condition? A week or two past "The' Post" had a paragraph giving some reasons or excuses for the long delay iv attending to this thoroughfare: namely/ that the motoring' public had refused to travel over the new formations at the edges ot the road and consolidate them. Ihe Hutt County Council places large quantities of loose shingle on the road. Motor tiaflic (sweeps this shingle up into ridges, some of them twelve inches" liigh.' .Chose high ridges of loose shingle at times divert ;i light ear as much as two feet out of its proper direction. If, as seems likely, an accident happens from this cause, who will be to blame? If neither the Hutt County Council nor the Main Highways Board are prepared to put this road .in order, then the Government should step m and compel them.—l am, etc., .... , LIGHT CAR. Ist .November.
