Funds made available to the department had been fully allocated, the letter stated, and though this year's grant was an increase on that made for the previous year, it was not possible to meet fully the council’s application for £375. Arrangements were being made for the principal inspector of the Wellington district to confer with the county and decide what works s.hould be carried out with the finance available.

Coleman said the amount allocated to Rangitikei was very small in view of the circumstancesAfter the chairman had said that this question would be taken up with the department's inspector, the letter wa« received.
