MOHAKA TO THE UPPER MOHAKA.

This line connects the fiats on the right bank of the Mohaka river (the fiats being intersected by very deep bush gullies). Required for further improvements and maintenance, £50.

MOHAKA TO MANGAHARARA.

A dray line has been cut over the leading range to the west of the Mohaka river for a distance of 7 miles; thence the line has been continued across the Kiwi as a bridle track. As this line will open up some valuable land south of the Mangaharara range, it should be continued. Cost £120.

TOWN ROADS.

No new works have been undertaken during the last year, with the exception of forming and metalling Tennyson-st. and Clyde road, and removing the limestone hill on the Government grounds, Shakespeare Road. All the roads should be placed in thorough repair in the present season, which will cost only £200, as a good quantity of spare metal is on hand for that purpose.

£200.

The only work which I consider very desirable in Napier is the carrying on of Milton road into Waghorn street, which would render the distance to the Barracks considerably less than one half of the present line taken by the carts.

The whole work, inclusive of metalling and widening the road to 50 links, will not cost more than £800, half of which will be saved in one year in cartage.

£800.

CLEARING THE MANGAONE RIVER.

All the principal obstacles in the bed of this river have been removed during the past year; but the sum of £40 should be set aside for improving the channel.

£40.

Those works which according to my opinion are indispensable, I have twice underlined; those next in importance, once.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,
Your obedt. Servant,
CHAS. WEBER,
Provincial Engineer.

His Honor the Superintendent,
Napier.
