UNBEARABLE STRAIN
WAI.OEKA ROAD TRAFFIC LORRIES AND STOCK Provision for relieving the Waioeka road of stock traffic cannot be much longer delayed, because the position is becoming unbearable, according to the report to be submitted to llie annual meeting of the Poverty Bay and East Coast Sheepowners’ Union on March 31. “Progress in the matter of the Waioeka stock route has been lacking,” the report states, "and the aerial survey required by the Public Works Department has not yet been carried out. “The stock being driven in that direction have been loss in numbers this year than formerly, and the question has not assumed acute proportions. Motor traffic, however, is steadily increasing, and with a normal demand from tlie Waikato, for Povcity Bay stock the strain on the Waioeka road must eventually' become unbcai - able. Provisions for relieving the road of the stock traffic cannot, therefore, be much longer delayed.”
