This would involve an increaso in the rates of l£d in the £l, capital value. It was decided after lengthy discussion that no further action be taken in the matter. A motion that the council be asked to have a number of roads declared main highways was then discussed and carried. The metalling of the unmetalled portion of the main road near Maraetai' was considered, and a resolution was carried that a scheme be brought forward to provide a loan for the purpose.' ' A proposal that the council be recommended to increase the general rate sufficiently to provide funds to cut back points on the Maungaroa Gorge Road during the summer was lost on a show of hands. '
