WAIKATO HIGHWAYS
A CRITICAL MOTORIST (Special to tho "Evening Post.") PALMERSTON N„ This Day. "The patience of Waikato motorists must be recorded as exceeding that of Job," declared a Manawatu motorist who returned last week from a tour of that portion of the Auckland province. He stated that for several years he had gone north for his holidays and on each successive occasion he had expected some improvements but they had failed to materialise tmd only now were the authorities making a determined attempt to put the main highways in order.
"It must have been a pleasure for those long-suffering northerners to come south at holiday time and glide over the bitumenised surfaces that are to be found fin practically all the main routes from Napier and New Plymouth southwards," he added. "Local bodies in the southern end of the Island have been much more ambitious than their northern confreres in years gone by. However, there are now reconstruction camps everywhere and in two years the Waikato and Bay of Plenty districts will be able to boast of highways second to none in New Zealand."
