MAINTENANCE OF ROADS.
CANTERBURY EXPERIMENTS. MOTOHi. AND COUNCIL. An* experiment in the maintenance of roads is to be carried out by the Paparua County Council in conjunction with the Canterbury Automobile Association. The road selected stretches from Hornby up to Weedons. a, distance of approximately six and a-lialf miles. The scheme decided upon is for this section of road to be under the care of one man, who shall put in his whole time on the road doing all the necessary work. If it is found that one man can attend to more than the above section, then his length will be extended. The Automobile Association is to pay the wages of this surfaceman, while the county will provide all necessary material. A strict record will be kept of expenditure on the road for a period of 12 months, and the experiment will probably commence on April 1 next.
