(From Our Own Correspondent. )

REEFTON, October 23

Miss Morris, who tendered for the Maruia Springs Accommodation House, has been asked by the Department if she is willing to accept the proposition. It is understood that the acceptance will go forward at once, and it is Miss Morris’s intention at once to proceed with the erection of the necessary buildings at the Springs to meet the requirements of the Department. During tire past year on two j the Maruia Springs have been greatly patronised by those suffering from rheumatism and kindred compl ants, as well as sufferers from gastritis, and all have invariably had relief. With the constrqction of proper accommo- ) dation, visitors to the Springs should greatly increase. j Mr N. Lawn, who has been on a j business visit to Nelson, returned lust I evening.
