FIFTY YEARS’ AGO
The following items of interest are taken from the Bay of Plenty Times of 50 years ago:— Our readers who are interested in having the Post Offices at Tauranga and Opotiki constituted direct accounting offices, so that Savings Bank business can be transacted without the delay of communicating with, the Chief Post Office at Thames,, would do well to call this week at Mr Duncanson’s and sign application to the effect now lying there for signature, as’it is proposed to send on the petition to the Post-master-General next Saturday. We learn with regret that at Tc Puke, caterpillars are doing considerable damage to the maize crop. The pest has also appeared at Otumoetai. We understand that no constructive work will be done to the Mount track until the Spring as it could not be finished in time to be of any uso this season and a winter’s rain would not improve lire new formation.
