A WELLINGTON GRIEVANCE
PAVING OF ROADS. WANTS SUBSIDY FROM HIGHWAYS BOARD. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, Oct. 29. Local bodies were expecting to receive £23,000 subsidy from tho Main Highways Board for paving roads near Wellington, but the Crown Solicitor has raised doubts as to whether, on account of technicalities, the subsidy can be claimed, and has suggested that the parties had better go to tho Supreme Court for a declaratory judgment. Already Wellington has had to pave seven miles of the Hutt Road without a subsidy, although a similar road out of Auckland receives one.
