NEW ROAD AT TAUPO
Formalities having almost been completed, a start will shortly be made by the Public Works Department with the construction of a new road from Taupo township round the west side of the lake to Rangatira Point. The road, which at the request of the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry), was surveyed some time ago, will open up an attractive scenic drive and picnic grounds, and increase facilities for fishing in Western Bay, one of many beautiful spots in Taupo. "The road passes ' through native lands," said Mr. Parry in an interview last evening, "and it has taken time to adjust matters preparatory to the work commencing. As a result of conferences during the weekend with the Minister of Public Works (the Hon. R Semple) and the Native Minister | (the Hon. F. - Langstone), very little now. remains to be done before the public works men will be on the job. Plans have been already drawn up and equipment assembled for the work to be undertaken."
