Certain torrents required to be bridged to make the road available at all times. Kat j-Lefkara Road.—Â branch of 1J miles was made to connect this village with the Kophinou-Lefkara Road. Khirokhitia-Ora Road,—formation for 2^ miles completed leaving 9| miles to be done. This and the foregoing Road were constructed under the Limassol Roads Law, 1885, Ktima-Polis Road.—Extended for 3| miles making a total length open to traffic of 18 miles, now within 1 mile of Simou. Kelokethara Nahieh Road, was extended for about 2i miles making a total length of 14^ miles open, now within ^ mile of the village of Kelokethara. The summary shows 24^ miles of roadway formed and 22 miles, including portions of roads previously opened, metalled, but this does not imply that the whole 24^ miles were new roads as certain lengths of previously opened roads were also reformed as well as metalled. The roads maintained were the same as those of the previous year with the addition of the Kophinou-Lefkara and the Paphos District Roads, altogether 330 miles are said to have been maintained but I find no reference to the Famagusta- Tricomo Road which although it was shown to be a Carriage Road in 1887 does not appear to have received much, if any, attention in respect of maintenance since that year. The satae document records the receipt of a portion of the iron work for the Pyroi bridge, also the construction of a timber bridge over the Margi or Sisklipou river on the Nicosia-Limassol Road and of the Kief tis bridge, Messaoria. 1893-4. The Blue-Book report for the year 1893-1894 contains the following statement of expenditure on roads:— Limassol Wine Roads, Sections I. to X. construction, expended to date £8,246 16 6 do.
