A protest at the slow progress made by relief workers on ground improvement work, was conveyed to the XX’anganui Education Board yesterday in a letter from the Castlecliff School Committee. The area in course of improvement lies adjacent to the school and the committee stated that it was ■ alarmed at the slow progress being j made.
