WAIWHETU ROAD
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—"Observer's" efforts in focusing public attention on the dusty atmospheric conditions occasioned by the disgraceful state of the surface of Waiwhetu Road will be greatly appreciated by all those resident in this locality. It is almost unbelievable to think that a borough looked upon as Wellington's garden suburb could have a main highway in this condition under its, control. The residents and local progressive association members have made repeated efforts to have this half-mile length of road sealed but without result. The residents have now been compelled to lay the dust by means of hosing the roadway in an effort to reduce this unhealthy nuisance.
Now that the school year has commenced it is to be hoped that the Mini' ister of Education and Health .will take steps to have the dust area covered by a watering cart, as the 600 school children attending Waiwhetu School are receiving their primary education 'in an atmosphere which is unhealthy and dust laden and bound I to have a detrimental effect on their health generally.—l am, etc., , SNOW WHITE.
