McMillan, J. King, T. Dwan, and G. Hancox. A motion of sympathy with the relatives of the late Mrs G. Washington, and Mr William Elliot was passed. Cr. Dwan, who has been ill for some months, was welcomed back to the table by the Mayor. The Mayor reported having represented the council at the reception to the Duke of Gloucester at Timaru and Geraldine. The Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, acknowledged an appreciation of his work, which had been forwarded by the council. The finance committee reported that receipts for the month totalled £1965 15s 4d, and the payments £1978 5s 2d. There was an overdraft of £164 16s lid at the bank. The lighting, sanitation, and reserves committee asked for permission to call tenders to build swings and see-saws in the new children's playground on the east side Of the town. It was agreed to have the borough insurance policies fall due on the same date, but no action was taken about the suggestion of calling for tenders for all the insurances for two years. Pursuant to notice of motion, Cr. Baxter moved: "That clause 30 of the standing orders regulating the proceedings of the Borough Council be adhered to, and that no councillor be allowed to speak more than once on the same subject, unless by permission of the Mayor." Speaking to his motion, Cr. Baxter said that his sole object was to expedite the business of the council. The motion lapsed for want of a seconder. A meeting of the Domain Board was then held, and the application of Chalmers Church for the use of the domain and baths on March 2 for their annual picnic was approved. The application of the Temuka Amateur Athletic Club for the use of the oval on Easter Monday was granted subject to the usual conditions, and that the charge for admission be not more than Is. Mr W. J. Rozer applied for two blue gum trees for stakes, and the Mayor and Mr Hancox were appointed to select the trees. Accounts amounting to £46 14s 4d were passed for payment. The visiting committee (Messrs Baxter and Lynch) reported that the grounds were in excellent order. The same members then met as the Arowhenua Trustees, when a plan was submitted by the visiting'committee to provide about 50 new plots in the Anglican section. It was agreed that the trustees inspect the area. The visiting committee was instructed to draw up a schedule of duties for the ' C£U*Gtcll£6l* Sister Hutcheson, N.G., presided at the usual fortnightly meeting of.the Waitea Rebekah Lodge, when a motion of sympathy was passed with Sister E. J. Scott, in her recent bereavement. The social committee reported) that there was a substantial credit balance from the recent social. Final arrangements were made for the visit to Te Waimate Lodge. A serial hour was spent, competitions being won by Sisters Fletcher, G. Cain, and I. Ives. At the meeting of the Borough Council held on Friday a notification was received from the Valuer-General of the revaluation of two residential properties which showed that the values had decreased in one instance

by 17 per cent, and in the other by 26 per cent, It was stated by the Town Clerk that the trough had not been valued since 1921 and the revaluations were creating anomalies. Finally it was agreed to ascertain the cost of a revaluation of the borough. The Borough Council at its meeting held on Friday evening decided to extend the period of imposing the 10 per cent, penalty on unpaid rates for a month, the penalty date now being March 15. The new scale of relief which becomes effective on January 28 under the No. 5 scheme was adversely criticised at the meeting of the Borough Council held on Friday evening. Cr. Lynch said the new regulations were absurd, and said that in the case of a five-day man it was impossible for him to make up lost time in that week. The new regulation also permitted some men to work nine hours and in the event of transport being used to convey the men some distance, it meant that the majority of the men would require to hang about for an hour to wait for the other men. In any case the nine-hour day had been abolished 20 years ago. The Mayor agreed and said that the Unemployment Committee had applied to the department to have the four-weekly ration worked in three weeks. The council unanimously decided to support the committee's action. While cycling with her husband along King street, Mrs E. Hancox, wife of Mr C. H. Hancox, Godley street, collided with him and was thrown rather heavily. She was attended by Dr A. S. Mclnnes, who ordered her removal to the Timaru Hospital, where an X-ray examination revealed a severe injury to the knee.

GERALDINE • At an enthusiastic meeting of supporters of the Geraldine Collie Dog Club it was unanimously decided to revive the club. Mr D. G. Cain, who presided over a large attendance, said that he deplored the fact that owing to the difficult times farmers had experienced of late years, the club had been unable to conduct trials, and had remained inactive during the depression. It was now felt that the time had arrived when it should be revived. Mr Cain expressed pleasure at the enthusiasm shown at the meeting, which augured well for the future of the club, and said that Messrs Blair Bros., of Peel For est road, had again offered the use of their property on which to hold the trials.
