At a meeting yesterday of tho Katikati Koad Board Mr Vosey Stewart was reelected chairman for tho ensuing year, without opposition, and all the other officers were re-appointed. Tho treosuror was instructed to sue for all rates outstanding, in three bitches, the first batch, numbering four, at the Juno Court in 'Waihi, The chairman and Mows MaoMillan and Taylor were, subjoct to the consent ot tho Waihi Borough CouncJ, ro-appoinfced, to tho (Bowentown Hoadj) Domain Controlling Committee. Constr.ble Dunne and Mr. J. Henry, as a deputation, asked tbo Eoad Boards to provide a convenient landing and safo shed near Uretara Bridge, pointing out that goodi wero often pillaged at the preseDt shed, and that tbo old wharf was not worth repairing. Thn Board decided toobanea tholega lity of such nccesary work and to call a public meeting to decido on the most convenient site and comidcr tho proposal, the meeting to bo held on 3Vd June (afternoon) in tbo hall, when it is belioved somo substantial donations in aid will be offered by those interested, The present steamer lancing on the main road was generally condemned, the choice seeming to lie as a matter of terms batweon Mr, Wgley's and Mr Johnston's wharf sites,

Formal appreciation w expressed of the very useful work lately carried out on Thomp?on's track by Gaptain Tumor, District Road Engineer, who, with tho JM) last voted, has nisde a series of block cuttings and deviations, which in result give a gentle uniform grade for over two milos from tbo main road, which it is hopei the local bodies will now maintain in good order, Another £IOO is needed to clear slips in tho bush section, but as a whole tbo road is already a groat convenience to all going to Wnihou Valley, and has rendered the old To flroha 1 track quite unused save for settlors' traffic at the low end,
