Campbell seconded, a resolution that the council should not contribute towards the cost of construction of tho ramp. Councillor G. London said that as Petone was becoming an industrial area, the new ramp would bo used very widely by vehicles proceeding to and from I'etone, so -Petone should pay a share towards Ihe cost.
