ROADS CONSTRUCTED PROM DIRECT GRANTS. Boad, Thames to Manaia. —This is for completing the road between Thames and Coromandel.

The estimated cost of the work was £500; of this amount £77 10s. has been paid. Track, Aorere Valley to Karamea. —This track has been in course of construction for the last nine years, and still requires about thirty miles to be made to complete it. During last year five miles of the track going down the Heaphy Valley was constructed under the supervision of the Collingwood County Council. The total cost of this work, including the contracts now in progress, has been £27,860 17s. 3d., of which amount £27,588 10s. lid. has been paid.

The cost of the work is estimated at £600, of which amount £300 has been paid. Road, Cobden to Seventeen-mile Beach. —A dray-road has been constructed for some time between the Grey Eiver and the Seven-mile Creek, but as this is a tidal creek it cannot be forded for about two hours both before and after high-water. A bridge across this creek is in course of construction under the supervision of the Grey County engineer. The cost of the work is estimated at £400, of which amount £250 has been paid. Bridge over the Mahinapua Creek. —This work is being constructed under the supervision of the Eesident Engineer of the Public Works Department, Greymouth.

The cost of the work was £829175. 9d., all of which has been paid. Great South Boad. —A portion of this road is being widened and metalled on the south side of the Waitaha Eiver. This is the main line of road between Hokitika and Jackson's Bay, and there is a dray-road constructed from Hokitika as far as the Waitaha Eiver, but from there southwards it is only a six-foot horse-track. Contracts have been let for widening and metalling about six miles of the road, which is estimated to cost £1,500. Of this amount £37 ss. 6d. has been paid.

Track, Haast Ferry to Gluepots. —A track is in course of construction between these points, under the supervision of the Westland County overseer. Its cost is estimated at £120, but none of this amount has yet been paid. Bepairs to Victoria Bridge. —This bridge is on the road between Cromwell and Queenstown, over the Clutha Eiver. The wooden piers are becoming greatly decayed and unsafe for heavy traffic. The cost of new piers is estimated, at £250. This work will be done under the supervision of the Lake County engineer. Boad, Arrowtown to Macetown. —There is a dray-road constructed from Macetown to within about one mile of Arrowtown, where the drays have to come down the bed of the river. This river is frequently flooded, which stops all traffic. A road is now being constructed up the side of the gorge, and £250 was voted last year for this purpose, but this amount will be insufficient to complete the road.
