WAITAKI COUNTY COUNCIL.
At the meeting of the Council yestor-' day tbo engineer reported as follows: _ 1. With reference to tho petition from Ng.ipara residents asking for a footpath to bo made between tho railway cross ing and school, I would recommend that the footpath be formed on tho north side of tbo main road, from the school to King street, aud on tho south side from King strcat to Milligan and Bond's cornor. The surplus mutor'ul from the bank not required for tbo footpath could be used in improving Kiug street, between tho main road and tho creek. This work should bo done by the surface man, as it consists principally in level" ling the path and trimming the bank. 2, Lower Tunnel road.—l would recommend that stoiio cvossiuga bo laid in tho two small creeks intersecting this rotd, opposite Mr Keid's property; als) that a stone crossing be m-ido iu tho creek intersecting tho road giving access to sections 1 and 11, BldorsUo sottlo meut, About 100 cubic yards of stone will be required for this work. 3, Tapui Homestead road—Tho recent floods have caused considerable damage on this road, between Slatey Creek and the homestead, washing away most of thg gravel, and scouring out ruts. This road will require to be surfaced and re gravelled for a length of 55 chains.
4. Parson s Rock Creek.—There is a fairly good site for a bridge on this creek about 10 chains up the stream from tuo present crosiinjr

5, Incholoie Valley road.—Tlio cost of raising the crossing in tho creek (op posite Mr GemmeH's |;roijßrty) and lay ing two 3ft conoro.o pipes would be about L3O.
