ROADING AT TOMARATA.
Sir,—l feel sure all will agree one of the greatest blessings in the country is good roads. We can appreciate this more easily when we have had them knee-deep in yellow clay, and -afterwards had them well metalled. As a farmer of under three years in TomarataT have seen fully six miles of the above-mentioned road transformed. Could our worthy P' on ' eers, namelv, Messrs. Logue, I" 11 : 6 ' Whalen, Parker, Yates, Jennings, Dale, Brown, Fishlock, Hazeldean, Stratford, Ashbown, Shepperd, Holder, Shannon, McHardy, Punks, Lawrence, Percy, Wotherspoon and Sarrand all have had this blessing I feel it would to some extent have recompensed them for their many hardships. In the road work I wish to commend the Rodney County Council and engineer's staff and workmen, ft' so the Public Works and engineer, Mr. Cox, staff and workmen and the relief workers. The Government's scheme, which is a good one. is ronding and opening up a large block of land which has been well surveyed into 27 farms. Ernest Hansch.
