Speedy Metal Work,

Something in the nature of a record for Northland in the quarrying, crushing, carting and spreading of metal was apparent in a report tabled by Mr R. J. Baff at Wednesday’s meeting of the Otamatea County Council. Dealing with the construction of the Tai-puha-Maungaturoto Road Mr Baff said work w,as started on February 16 and completed on March 14. During the 22 working days a total of 3115 cubic yards of metal was quarried and put on to the road. To do this a double shift had been worked benzine lamps being used at night. “It was a really fast piece of work” commented the chairman, “and was completed just in time.”
