The AYangqnui Fanners’ Union have] decided to urge upon the Government that, .failing an agricultural bank scheme being given effect to, the advances to settlers limit should be increased. During a short discussion on the question of motors and the new Bill and the roads problem generally. the president of the South Taranaki Executive of the Farmers’ Union said that the district had been extremely fortunate in their public men on local bodies, who had been wise and had shown great foresight in their duties. They had also had the courage of their opinions, and launched out to get the roads in great condition. Their system of tar-sealed roads had made it possible to secure loans under which the sinking funds would jiay for when the loans expired. Where, however, macadam roads were laid down the roads were worn out long before maturity of the loans. He said he made this statement with a full knowledge of what had been done.
