, Sir,—To users of the road to St. Heliers Bay the statement, made in Saturday's by the chairman of the Road Board, Mr. M. G. McArthuir, is very«interesting but not, comforting in the slightest degree. The road to St. Heliers is now ill a shocking condition, and if repairs are "well in hand, a daily trip both ways fails to reveal them to the most observant. Mr. McA.ithui sa\s, "the repair of these roads during tho last year or two has required to be very carefully watched by our Works Committee." " Evidently there has been mora watching than patching. "It is interesting to note," he concludes, that since our main roads were put down in bitumen in 1922, the capital value of the district has increased from £773,275 to £l, 904.659."
