The Mangamahu bridge has been completed by the contractor, Mr Peter Martin, and opened for traffic. Mr Martin is now making preparations to proceed with the bridge at Otahangatoe. A concrete bridge is cheaper to build than a wooden one. Alternative tenders by tho same contractor for a bridge were received by the Masterton County Council, the price for the timber bridge being £728 10s and for the concrete £705 15s. At a meeting of women held at Wanganui East yesterday, Mrs Duxfield presiding, addresses were given by Mr S. M. Dixon ,organiser for tho New Zealand Alliance, and the Rev. G. F. Cox. Resolutions were carried to the effect that deputations should wait on the candidates for the Wanganui and Rangitikei electorates to ascertain their intended attitude towards the recommendations of the Licensing Committee’s report brought down in the last Parliament, and that the women should not support candidates whose replies were considered unfavourable.
