DEVIATION APPROVED
PAEROA-WHAKATANE ROUTE EXPENDITURE OF £29,000 [by telegraph—OWN' correspondent] PAEROA, Tuesday Advice that plans for the proposed deviation of the Paeroa-Whakatane State highway had been approved has been received from the Public Works Department by the Ohinemuri County Council. Reconstruction of the existing road would prove a costly undertaking and would entail considerable difficulty in maintaining the free running of traffic during the progress of the work. The deviation has been approved as it is le,ss costly than reconstruction, £29,300 as against £41,000, shorter by 37 chains, better aligned, and eliminates two railway crossings instead of one. It affords an excellent bridge site over the Waitekauri.
