Grader Shortage In Mangonui
Endeavours are to be made by the Mangonui County Council to purchase a road-grader through the Main Highways Board on terms. This decision arose out of a discussion at Wednesday's council meeting, when Cr. J. W. Hoskin referred to the shortage of graders in the county. Seme roads, he said, had been graded only once in two or three years instead of once every year. If proper attention was given in this connection it would do away with a good deal of dissatisfaction and would have some effect on the payment of rates. He suggested that u new fast-moving grader be obtained. Cr. Hoskin also spoke of the need of giving timely attention to roads worn into holes. Cr. J. Matthews stated that the council had three graders but every year the council was being asked to take over additional roads. He favoured a more frequent use of graders. The council decided to approach the Main Highways Board regarding the possibility of purchasing a grader on terms.
