After this afternoon, all rates owing to the Greymouth Borough Council will
be surcharged 10 per cent. Many saved the impost by meeting their obligations during the last few days of grace. On Saturday the municipal staff took over £l6OO, and to-day’s total will probably be somewhere in that vicinity.
Five large red apples which won first prize at the Inangahua A. and P. Show in the class for any variety are on view in the window of Mr F. B. Lawn’s premises in Mackay Street.

The annual picnic of the 1.0.0.FjM.U. was held yesterday at Rapahoe, about eighty members and their wives and families travelling by train to the resort.

The picnic proved altogether an enjoyable one, the party returning in the six o’clock train.
