In these days of dependence on the State for assistance, it is refreshing indeed to find that there are settlers in Taranaki who recognise that a few pounds of energy and a few hours' work will effect more "road repairs than a whole bushel of foolscap petitions and letters to. the Government. Departments (says the Taranaki News!.' Knowing, the impecunious state of the Road Board,' the settlers on upper Dudley "Road* west of Inglewood, tackled the road themselves in right good earnest. There were no less than 27/ men and four carts, and teams at work for three days, and : as a result the three miles of road were put in thorough repair. The settlers deserve 5 to be commended, and if others would follow their example road boards would have less trouble and less worry, and the country would have better roads.
