PORT ALBERT.

(Our Own Correspondent.)

We have been experiencing wretched weather during the past week it bein^r very wet and muddy underfoot. The roads are in a bad state due no doubt to th« amount of heavy traffic over the roads the last week or so. The service cars have increased in number, there now being about half a dozen up and down a day between Auckland and Whangarei, and these, together with the ordinary traffic help no doubt to make the roads pretty rough..
