WING’S ROAD
STRIP OF LAND IN DISPUTE IN MARTON RANGITIKEI COUNCIL VIEW A letter from the Chief Surveyor was received at the monthly meeting of the Rangitikei County Council yesterday regarding Wing’s Road opposite the railway settlement. He pointed out there is a small strip of land between the road and the railway property, and suggested that it be proclaimed as a road, formed and put to use. This was agreed to. Cr. A. S. Coleman stated that the council had been approached by several residents on Wing’s Line to im-
prove this road in front of their cottages. He suggested getting into touch with the Railway Department in an endeavour to get this road sealed, also that something be done to tarseal the whole of Wing’s Line from Golding’s Line to Cliff Road Junction. The Marton Jockey Club now held four days’ racing, he said, and it was almost impossible to travel along this road on race days on account of the clouds of dust. He moved: “That the engineer be authorised to bring down a report and an estimate of the cost of tar-sealing this length of road. Cr. W. Doole considered that it was a matter for the Main Highways Board and that an application should be made to the board.
