MT. ROSKILL ROAD BOARD.

A meeting of the Mount Roskill Road Board was held on Tuesday night, Mr. J. Haslett presiding over a full attendance.

The tender of H. Bray and Co., for crushing and carting metal, at 8s lOd per cubic yard, was accepted.

A deputation was appointed to wait on the Harbour Board to obtain further information _ regarding the metalling of Hasley Drive. Now that Epsom has been included in the boundary of the City of Auckland, the City Council desires that the agreement between Mount Roskill and Epsom should be cancelled. A letter to that effect was read, together with a suggestion that the matter of the cost of maintenance of the boundary roads be embodied in a new agreement. The board decided to comply with the request. The matter of tram service was discussed at length upon a verbal report by Messrs. G. E. Tansley and J. Peet, jeRiirdino; the conference, held in Auckland recently to discuss the subject. Mr. H. Luke said the scene at the foot of Queen Street about 5 p.m. was a disgrace. It was decided to ask the Onehunsja Borough Council and the One-tree Hill Road Board to look into their deeds of delegation to ascertain if they can brine; pressure to bear on the Tramways Company to improve the tram service between their districts and the city; also to instruct the board's representative to the conference of local bodies to represent that the present tram service to the Mount Roskill district is most unsatisfactory.

Messrs. Peet, Tansley, and Luke were appointed a deputation to wait on the chief postmaster at Auckland with regard to the postal service in the district.
