LITE-SAVING OUTFIT AT MtrHIWAI. SUBSCRIPTION LIST OPENED. The narrow c .cape from drowning which five men experienced at Muriwai Beach on Sunday last has directed public attention towards the necessity for providing a life-saving outfit at the beach. The Motutara Domain Board has from time to time provided life-linr_ and bel__,„ but these have been tampered with byl irresponsiblcs. As tlie income of the?. board is very limited, tlie chairman andSi other members have personally devoted?! time to the improving of tlie resort. Th&i board's annual income i- at. nit £130, de-\ rived largely from the contribution of theL Auckland Automobile Association in eon-£, nection with motor racing on the lieactrfj and from an annual athletic meeting. «Jj! It is impossible to secure a equipment in New Zealand. One will}, have to be got from Australia. This wilL? co..t at least £100. and the Motutara'.
