GENERAL. An aeroplane circled over Raetihi on J Saturday and dropped a message near the recreation ground. f ]l is understood that the committee J appointed to consider the question of ‘ c the erection of a ladies’ rest room and i public conveniences has come to the ; conclusion that the time is not ripe for any action. The ladies’ guild attached to the - 1 Presbvterian Church held a successful ; shop day on Thursday under the man- < agement of Mesdamcs Laing, Sandford, 1 McDonald and others. 1 At the annual meeting of the Mai- I marino County Council on Saturday, 1 Mr. David Berry was re-elected chair- ( man for the ensuing year. Between 30 and 40 men have been i transferred from the Public Works < land development scheme at Pakahi to ( near Te Kuiti. < The Pipiriki Road is now restored to ’ i normal condition after having been damaged by floods and slips. A tern- , 1 porary crossing has been formed over . j the washout near Davey’s and a coat of metal laid across the new formation, , as it is not proposed to proceed with the erection of the bridge at this point until the next financial year. The restoration of the main flood damage on the River Road should be opened to traffic within the next few days. The Owairua road has been cleared of slips and flood damage repaired. I The new reinforced concrete bridge built to replace Morgan’s bridge at . Mangapurua is now finished and open , for traffic. The bridge is about 130 feet long and about ’25 feet from the r creek. The contractors, Messrs. JSand- ’ ford and Brown, have made a good ■’ job and the bridge should be suf- . licient to carry all the traffic for very j many years. The Mangatititi Road is now open for wheel traffic after the flood damage. A track has been formed through the slips and the completion of the clearing is in course of progress. The restora? tion of the flood damage is practically completed on the Onara Road. \ The Matihiwi Road in the Parapara ! district has been cleared of slips and remetalled and further work will be done to bring it up to normal when other more pressing work has been finished. The metalling of the OruaL * kukuru Road has been stopped for the ' winter and the men removed to other places. The construction of the breastwork e at the subsidence on O’Neill's hill on the Parapara Road will be put in hand c shortly, as the willow- logs and ri branches have been delivered to the e si to.
