LOCAL BODIES AND PUBLIC WORKS.
Timabu, April 10.
The Geraldine County Council having neglected to repair the county bridges, and more than one having become useless, the ratepayers of this and Waimate county appealed to the Minister of Public Works to restore the bridge over the Pareora. The council to-day received a letter from the Government stating that if the works were not put in hand by the end of this month, the Minister will proceed to comply with the memorial, and collect the cost of the work from the counties. The cost is estimated between £4000 and £5000. The council resolved to offer explanations and ask that the opponents of such expenditure be heard. The bridge is on the Main Trunk road, and about 12 miles from Timaru.
