MAIN HIGHWAY
AUCKLAND TO WELLINGTON. (Per United Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, May 6. The work of metalling the Main North road connecting Taranaki and Auckland will be completed in a few days. The last metal on the Mokau-Awakino section was put on yesterday, and the whole of Awa - kino Valley stretch will be metalled by next w’eek. This, with the opening of the deviation over the Rangariros, means that there will be metal highway from Auckland to Wellington. The drawback at present is that there is no bridge over the Mokau river, a punt being used. It was stated officially to-day that a start has been made with the bridge by the Public Works Department, and the work will be pushed on.
