LNCINKKdI'S REPOKT ; The, eonlracf- in progress are the erection nf Ihe Yellow Line Creek bridge. I'roliliug limber has been delivered on this job. a small cement, shed creeled, a quantity of shingle carted, and a goo,/ deal of the i niltaekilient built. The banks if Ihe slreain have been eul down prcparaloi'v to excavating for the foundations, the shingle ill Ihc bed of the creek appear? to be only about 2ft deep so possibly piles will need lo be driven to reach, a solid bolloni.

The formation of 50 chains of the l'akauau I'unoiiga road is progressing steadily, a good deal of formation has been roughly done, a number of pipe culveris placed, and also pipe- on hand.
