ROADS AND BRIDGES
FOVERTY BAY’S WANTS By Telegraph—Press Association GISBORNE, May 13. Four additional lengths of highways, totalling 30 miles, was asked of the Highways Board by the Cook County Council to.-day. The Automobile Association also asked for the construction of bridges and road improvement to open the scenic routes round the coast between Gisborne and Opotiki. Board members, in reply, stated that already, since they left Wellington last week, they had received applications for 100 miles of new highways. The Board intended bridging and metalling the Coast scenic route, but the date of the work depended on the finance available. Plans had been prepared for a new bridge to replace the Waikohu suspension bridge on the direct main route to Opotiki, and its erection would depend on the negotiations with the Waikohu County Council.
