LAKE TOURIST ROAD
NEW WORKS STARTING FOUNDING FRESH CAMPS (Special to lhe Herald.) WAIROA, this da}'. The establishment of new camps is contemplated in connection with the work of improving the tourist route between Waikaremoana and Rotorua. Wet weather has interfered with recent progress, and some large slips have come down, but new work is designed to minimise the' danger of slipping and to make an allweather road which should become one of the most popular tourist drives in the Dominion. The re-establishment of the No. 4 camp at Hopuruahine is contemplated, for it is maintained that this would form a convenient base for the purpose of conducting fresh work on the middle section of the road. A camp of 70 men is being prepared now two miles past Lake House, while at Mokau Falls there are 46 men. New alignments are being surveyed between Lake House and the Mokau Falls.
