Mir L. A. Edwards addressed a meet mg of the W ellington Chamber of Commerce yesterday on the subject of the need for good roads. Good loads, he said, were a vital need. Our roads wore particularly bod and totally unsuitable for New Zealand traffic. There was no concerted action to-day to secure something better, and there was no association to give the Government the necessary lead. Thai abject of the Dominion itoads Improvement Association was to iill that wiant, so he asked the support of the chamber for that association, it was a national matter and should be dealt with in a national way. At the conclusion of the address the president of the chamber (Mr M. A. Carr) said there was a great need for better roads, and he thought members could assist the proposed new association in their individual capacities and os members of other interested bodies. Mr Edwards was thanked for his address. A petitioner for a divorce in the Supremo Court at Auckland complained that his wife’s conduct had been unsatisfactory, ns she spent most of her time reading novels, and he had to do tho household washing.
