MURCHISON PEOPLE URGE PROMPT ACTION IN ROAD REPAIRS.
Per Press Association. NELSON. August 22. As a result of a large deputation of settlers and business men which waited on the Murchison County Council today, at which a protest was made concerning the slow progress being made in opening up roads and the uncertainty as to when by-roads will be open for vehicular traffic, the council forwarded the following telegram to the Prime Minister: — “A large deputation of settlers, representing all parts of Murchison county, waited on the council and expressed resentment and indignation at the present unsatisfactory position regarding the restoration of road access. They complained especially concerning the uncertainty which exists as to when and by what means roads are to be reopened. Much loss and inconvenience must result unless prompt action is taken, as the dairying season has far commenced Therefore we earnestly appeal to you and your colleagues to meet the position without delay, feeling sure vou will recognise that the repairing of i earthquake damage to roads is quite beyond the means of the council. ’
