I understand that since the new Board was formed it has naa ■no help from the Government. Our local sawmill is in full swing °£* m - owing to the last' newel having brought down some logs which will keep it going for some time, i understand that Mr. Clay has secures another bush, in which work will soon be started. _ _. A special meeting of the Wal P a K ° aa Board was held on the 9tn lnst - t0 recelTe its solicitor's advice re floating licenses. The contractor *or our new post and telegraph office is coin's on with the work, which will be completed within contract time. * ■ '
