TRACK FOR HORSES
CONSTRUCTION ON KILMOG HIGHWAYS BOARD'S PLAN fFEOM OtJB PARLIAMENTARY REPORTS!!) WELLINGTON, October 20. Owing to the difficulty experienced by horse-drawn traffic in winter in negotiating the steep grades on the northern side of the Kilmog, it has been decided by the Main Highways Board to construct a special side track for horses on some of the sharper bitumenised grades. The difficulty and danger to horses is noticed particularly when there is frost or snow on the road, and the matter was brought before the Main Highways Board some weeks ago by Mr A. E. Ansell, M.P. He has now received advice from the chairman of the board (Mr C. J. M'Kenzie) that the board has authorised the construction of a side track for horses on those sections between the top of the Kilmog and the bottom of the hill on the northern side where there are particularly steep grades. The work is to be commenced as soon as possible, and it is planned to have it completed before next winter.
