53. Mrs. WARD (for Mr. TODD)asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider circularising municipal and other authorities advising the use of granite for road making in preference to less durable materials?
§ Mr. PYBUSMaterials used for road making should be selected with due regard to the nature and volume of the traffic and to economic and other considerations. I do not think it would be advantageous to issue a circular to high- 1004 way authorities which would tend to fetter their discretion in regard to the use of a particular material.
