Mr. A. L. Soufflot

Mr. A. L. Soufflot, Inspector of Roads, Raeithi, was born in 1862 at Paris, and was educated there and at the Channel Islands. He landed in 1874 at Wellington, where he passed the next four years, joining the Survey Department at Wanganui in 1878. In 1885 he was transferred to the Forty-mile Bush, where he served till 1891, when he received his present appointment at page 1460 Raetihi. There was at that time very little road-making going on in the district, but now (1896) there are no less than forty-five miles of dray-roads formed and a great portion metalled, with forty miles of horse-roads. There are over forty men employed at road-making at present. Mr. Soufflot has always taken a keen interest in sports. He married Miss Whitlock, of Wanganui.
