Thk County Roads.—Mr Forrest said they must keep an eye on the roads, al though the County had taken them over. He thought the road from Bridgewater to the Matamata boundary, the worst in the County. The Council had fooled away hundreds of pounds building bridges etc., and he thought it was time they were utilised. —The members did not appear to agree with Mr Forrest regarding the state of the road.
Billion's Road.—Mr Thos. Bruce wrote : " Let mo respectfully ask your attention to the state of the road near iny property. In several places it is in need of repair, more or less, but in one place in particular for two or three chains the grade is such that even a sledge in wet weather requires a brake to keep it off the horses' heels. The lie of the land is such, however, that it might be greatly improved at compara tively small expense. Mr H. Bruuskill, who knows the ground well, I believe, will confirm what I have said, and will be able to explain more particularly what is wanted."—Mr H. R. Brunskill said 20 chains of the road were very bad ; in fact Mr Bruce could hardly get a vehicle on to his place.—He was authorised to get the work done, the expense not to exceed £8.
FinaS'Cß.— I The credit balance at the bunk at date was £203 10a 2d.
