Praise for P.W.D. Engineers.
“It is not the Public Works Department that should be criticised for any alleged extravagances, but, shall I say, the Government in power at any particular .time,”' said Mr J. Bitchener, Minister of Public Works, at Auckland recently. “The Public Works engineers’ work is to make a sound and first-class job of anything they are ordered to do. They would build a bridge to the moon if given the order to do so and the funds with which to carry it out.” Mr Bitchener added that he had been most gratified on his tour of North Auckland counties to find that almost without exception local bodies and settlers alike had nothing but praise for the way the Public Works engineers and staff carried out their work.
