ANSWER TO CRITICISM.
WHANGAREI SEASIDE ROAD. BOROUGH CITATION TO PAY. [by TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WHANGAREI. Friday. The policy adopted by Mr. L. A. Johnson, member for the Manaia riding on the Whangarei County Council, has been to serve the interests of the settlers iu that area first. Thereby he ignored those of motorists from Whangarei desiring to joy-ride to the seaside at Onerahi, his policy providing not a motor road but sufficient metal to ensure regular running of the cream waggons. He was severely criticised in Whangarei, but his answer is a traffic return, which he submitted to the County Council to-day, showing an extraordinarily small proportion of traffic not foreign to the riding. The outcome is that tho Whangarei Borough Council will be cited to pay a contribution, toward the maintenance of the road, on the ground that, the greater part of the traffic is tourist traffic from Whangarei to the harbour resorts.
