A special campaign has been ms»de on the wood blocking areas,, and pos rtion of Thorndon Quay is just bein,g finished, the first continuous treatment it has had since it was laid down in 1925. This is a street which, carrie is all the main water supply and delive lry mains. The attention now given it. will give the surface a fresh life. It .Ms hoped if the weather lasts to contint'-ie the spraying and other treatmen.l •.
"There has been' a grq at increase of motor traffic," said Mr. L uke, "and the roads have had to stand up to some very heavy punishment, aj id it is essenthat that they receive the ] 'egular maintenance which can only i>e given in the summer. We have con centrated on the residential areas in a paling. The Shelly Bay Road foresha re has also received attention.
