Brief Description
The plan depicts part of the Napier to Petane Road with the new bitumen roadway running vertically following the old metal road. The outline of tree plantings have been drawn along the edge of the road and described along with the height of the trees. Wire post fences, telegraph poles and the old bed of the Petane Creek and a drain has been outlined. At each end of the new road the directions to Bay View and to Napier are recorded. The following strange and interesting notations have been written at intervals along the new road:
Puddles car when he first saw Boy.
Bird’s car. Position of Bird’s car when Puddle passed.
Bird’s car. Boy alighted here.
Point Boy was struck Puddles car.
Beside each statement is drawn an oblong shape which signifies a car. This possibly refers to the stages of a car accident or an incident of some description.
