“The secret of good roads is not so much a matter of concrete as of the dressing that is put on top of the macadamised surface, said Sir Joseph Carruthers, formerly Premier of New South Wales, who was in Auckland recently. He said the te'st roads he had ever travelled upon were to be found in the Hawaiian Islands. iFOr three days he travelled about with the mayor of Honolulu, who showed him all there was to Ibe seen in the matter of road-mak-liiig. Sir Joseph found that the experts .were of opinion that it was useless to use tar for road-making; all the goo<f Iliad been burned out of it. Bitumen was I the ideal material for sealing the surface of the macadamised road. He was •tremendouslyimpressed with what he saw and was certain that the bitumenised roads as laid down in Honolulu would last fifty times as long as the roads in Australia.
