GISBORNE ROADS.
MORE HIGHWAYS WANTED. United. Press Assn.—By* Electric Telegraph—Copyright. GISBORNE, This Day. Four additional lengths of highways, totalling thirty miles, were asked of the Highways Board by the Cook County Council to-day. The Automobile Association also asked for the construction of bridges and road improvement to open a scenicroute round the coast between Gisborne and Opotiki. Board members, in reply, stated that already, since they left Wellington last week, they had received applications for a hundred mites of new highways. The board intended bridging and metalling the coast scenic route but the date. .of the work depended on the finance available. Plans had been prepared for a new bridge to replace the Waihuka suspension bridge on the direct main route to Opotiki and its erection would depend on negotiations with the Waikohu County Council.
