Matakohe-Tokatoka. —This is the main road through the Otamatea County from east to west. During the year four miles and a half of road have been partially formed 14ft. wide, five bridges, and seven culverts of a total span of 132 ft. The further grant now to hand will be used in raising and fascining the road through the swamp, deepening and widening the out-fall drains, and in completing the formation of the four miles and a half of road. As soon as the Otamatea County Council have selected a good line between the end of this new formation and the Tokatoka Postoffice, and obtained a legal title to the road, I would recommend that a further sum be granted to form this road.
