TEARING-UP FOOTPATHS
NOT COUNCIL’S FAULT MT. ALBERT BLAMES OTHER BODIES Mount Albert Borough Councillors claim that the reason for torn-up footpaths is too frequently misunderstood and the borough management ridiculed as a result. A letter from the Post and Telegraph Department notified the council last evening that ;Lt was about to lay pipes in the footpaths in Onslow Street and New North Road. The notification roused several councillors. Frequent cases were referred t;o where the Post and Telegraph Department and other bodies against which the council had no power to object had ripped up paths just as the finishing touches were put on them. It was decided to write to the department asking that longer notice should be given when work interfering •svith the borough’s thoroughfares was in view.
