The county engineer had estimated the cost of metalling at £I2OO, of which amount the council would have to find £3OO, as the Main Highways Board had promised a subsidy of £3 for £l. Only the first mile of tho road lay entirely in the Rangitikei County, tho remainder being the boundary road between the Rangitikei and •Waimarino Counties. A resolution was passed that a special meeting be held to consider tho matter of voting a further £2OO toward tho cost of metalling the first mile of the road, provided such amount is subsidised by the Main Highways Board.
