ROADS AND BRIDGES

GRANTS TO COUNTIES FUNDS WIDELY SPREAD WAIKAREMOANA VOTES (Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. Grants by way of assistance to the county authorities in Poverty Bay and the adjoining districts, particularly with regard to provision of access to backblocks settlers' properties, have been well spread by the Minister of Public Works, who submitted his estimates for the current year to the House of Representatives last night. There are few large amounts among the new votes, but the number oi small grants is unusuaiiy large, indicating the Minister's desire to fulfil undertakings given when visiting the districts from time to time.

The major sums made available for road work in the Poverty any, Wairoa, and .fiast Coast areas are those furnished for the WaikaremoanaRotorua route, which is still in process of development. A sum of £8550 is available for spending on the Wairoa County section of the route, and another £57,000 in that portion of the road lying in the Whakatane County.
