Wynyard, ..representative of the motorists on the Main Highways Board, when speaking at a conference in .Palmerston North yesterday. "We are spending the motorist's money for his benefit," he Stated, "and it has to-be ;remembered that the main highways carry, over 80 per cent, of the traffic in the rural areas.
