The railway traveller between Palmerston North and Wellington cannot fail to note that we have entered upon a totally new era of highways when viewing the winding seaside main road where reconstruction is in progress. The new road is essentially designed for motor traffic and is banked fully as much as a railway track, the steeply canted curves reminding one of a cycle racing course. Not so many years ago such a plan of reconstruction was unheard of except in sports arena, and its adoption now indicates that the State and local bodies are fully alive to the requirements of what has been termed “the traffic age of gasolene.” During tho month of March the estates of the following deceased per--sons in the Palmerston North district wero accepted for administration by tho Public Trustee: —George Henry Arrow, William Bobert Campbell, James William Joseph Campbell, Mary Gawitli, Robert Russell. • Lovely French Suede gauntlets that will add just the right finishing touch to your Easter dress.
