MORE WORK ON PALLISER ROAD
The improvement of Palliser Eoad, above Oriental Bay and leading from the top of Hawker Street to Eoseneath, is an old, old story, for it began years ago, and is still not nearly told. Each winter a determined; attack is made on the banks on the upper sido of the roadway and the surface, formerly very bad, has been much improved. A large body of relief workers is at present cutting back a high point at the Hawker Street end of the road and tipping the spoil on the down side, thus bringing about a double widening. Others are forming a footway on towards but as yet this work is rough and will be of no great value until some form of surfacing is given it. Palliser, Koad will remain a iiangerous thoroughfare, no matter what widening and grading work is done further along, until tho. connection with Hawker Street is substantially improved, .and this work is likely to be costly, for houses stand in the way of a direct connection, and a lower road which runs into Palliser Eoad just at this point complicates the work greatly.
