Burgesses will be interested in the report presented to the Council last night by Mr J. Sturrock, consulting engineer in connection with the progress of the work. There was h'i+ie to state, he «aid ? as the work had not been commenced this season. The vex* atious delays due to 'the accident to the crusher and the inon-supply of metal had put operations further back 'than could have been wished. The forthcoming holidays would also ipuf, the ;wiork hack. |To make rat?/ progress when they did get going could only be done by putting on as many men as possible. The supply of metal should also be accelerated and *he crusher should be kept going as constantly as possible. At present tho workmen were completing the foundation layer of the full-width tar-macaa. am portion. It would not be advisable to commence the tar macadam until after New Year. The work from the southern boundary of the Borough to tear Street should be proceeded with, so as to be in readiness for tarring. Metalling should now be continued steadily until well into January, and this Mr Stn rrock considered to be very important. Provided troubles with accidents were at an end good .progress would bo made, but it was essential overy man should be put on the work. The bulk of the work should be don& this season or the Council might lose lieavily. by delaying "till.next, season.
