ROADS NOT REPAIRED
HIGHWAYS BOARD’S CHARGE DISCUSSION AT TE KUITI (Special to THE SUN) TE KUITI, Saturday. “There is a disposition on the part of some counties, of which the Waitomo County is one, to let roads go back in the hope that the Main Highways Board, recognising the condition of these roads, will come to the counties’ assistance,” said. NLr A. E. Jull, acting-chairman of the board, at a conference with members of the Te Kuiti Borough Council and the Waitomo County Council. The statement with regard to Waitomo was denied by Mr. C. K. Williamson, a member of the county council, who said his council had spent every penny the ratepayers could provide and had even spent money on the main highway that should have gone to secondary roads. When the road under discussion, that from Piopio to Mahoenui. has been repaired by the Highways Board, at a cost of £3,000, the County Council will be required to pay one-fourth of the maintenance.
