MOUTERE ROADS
I To the Editor] j Sir, —The recent requests to the Wa ; mea County Council by settlers for irr provements to be effected to certain by ! roads are certainly overdue. Since th [ southern portion of the Moutere Ridin | has been without a roadman, situate i conveniently in the district, repaii have been carried out by a roadma i living in another part of the ridinj Consequently too much time is waste in travelling to and from work, et pecially with a slow team of horse: Any one using the by-roads must adm: that all these roads arc badly in nee of a good coating of metal. Thi
' matter has been brought up at Farmers’ Union meetings, the need for a motor i gravel truck in the district being stressed, but the member for the riding deemed horses essential. l! ~ Grading of the roads without metal- ‘ ling seems a waste of time. In numery_jous cases the grader fails to clean out watertables because of tough obstruc- : lion—the roadman leaves Ihe.se and fiC , flood waters spread over the roads.—l rs am etc., “RATEPAYER.” IU - Upper Moutere, 20th September.
