The Levels County Council yesterday resolved to limit the loads drawn by tractions to fifteen tons, whether on two or three trucks, and wheel loads to scwt per 'inch of tyre width, including the weight of truck.

Ihe chairman of the Mackenzie nnd Levels County Councils adversely comment on tine Local Government Bill, saying that there is too much to be done by the Board m Wellington and by Orders-in-Council
