Roads And Highways
The speaker at the Rotary Club’s weekly luncheon to-day was Mr R. H. Packwood, District .Engineer, Public Works, who spoke of roads and highways in New Zealand. He made an illuminating comparison between New Zealand roads prior to the introduction of the Main Highways legislation and to-day, outlining the method of administration and the general policy followed by the Main Highways Board; He explained the various kinds of road making, and expressed the belief that, in the interests of national safety and general economy, it was essential that dustless roads should become general as soon as possible.
