THE COUNTIES' CONFERENCE. '
The Conference at Wellington yesterday spent a considerable time discussing -part 25 of the Bill giving county councils contributory powers when" dealing with roads, their construction and maintenance, outside the Public Works Act. Several clauses which were considered too stringent were struck out The chief question was how town districts and rural districts would be respectively affected by certain clauses referring to the cutting-up of land into allotments and roading it. Section 200, providing that in certain cases the Government may declare a road in a borough to be a county road, was struck out. The Conference also resolved to strike out clause 220, making a county council liable to penalties for laying out roads less than the legal width.
