Only One. The sn tallest list of undefended cases for some time was returned at the Magistrate’s Court at Wanganui yesterday morning when only one judgment by default was given. C. H. Clinkard proceeded against 1-. G. Wilson for the sum of £8 Bs. Foxton-Sandon Road. To urge the completion of tar-seal ing on the Sandon-Foxton portion of the main highway to Wellington, the Wanganui and District Development League has decided to write automobile associations in Taranaki and Auckland. It is considered that these bodies will support the move, in that it is aimed at. linking up the worst portion of the main route from Auckland to Wellington with lengths that have been sealed and are up to modern require meats. “Come to Wanganui.’’ A sign inviting motorists to visit Wanganui is to be erected at an important road junction near Taupo. The Development League, authorising expenditure in this direction last night, expressed a general opinion that the several people who camped in that locality would be inclined to visit the city if they were informed how easy it was to reach. The proposed sign, which is to be of suitable dimensions, will give information as to the mileage and remind readers of the excellence of the roads and the scenery to be passed through on route. Upokongaro Ferry. It, is the opinion of the Wanganui Development League that no more suit able place could be found for the Upokongaro Ferry than the site it has always occupied in front of the town ship. Some time ago a suggestion was made, that it bo shifted, but it was decided by tin* league last night not to recoin mend that. It was considered, however, that charges for motor-cars were too high to encourage patronage. A suggestion is to be made to the authorities controlling the ferry to revise the scale of charges when the service is re-established. Mr ,1. J. Lissette, reporting to the league, said that the Wanganui County had made a proposition to the Waitotara County, and was awaiting a decision. Until the joint bodies conferred on that the matter of re-establishing the punt would be held in abevance.
