PETONE AND HUTT ITEMS.
• At last evening's meeting of the Petone Borough Council, a motion of 1 Councillor Jones's wes defeated, proposing that the borough arrange for a sanitary service at Koro Koro Settlement. According to the Mayor (Mr. J. W. M'Ewan), the settlement must not come asking for roads, lamps, and other luxuries if the proposal (which he did not favour) was carried. The Petone Borough Council decided last evening to request tho member for the district (Mr. T. M. Wilford) to place before Parliament the replies received to a circular issued by the council, some time ago to local bodies, asking whether they thought the Government was justified in escaping the payment of rates on lands acquired for the purpose of workers' homes and other purposes. The Mayor mentioned that by far the majority of the boroughs in the Dominion had replied supporting the- council's contention that the Government should be made to pay rales. Tenders are invited in this issue for painting St. Augustine's Church, Petone.
