REEFTON NOTES

(.Our Uwn Correspondent.) REEFTON, April 25. It is understood that a commencement with work on the Waitahu Sluicing Company’s race will be made thii week. Twelve men are to start at once on the brickwork and it is expected that a larger number will be put on as the work progresses. Mr E. W. Spencer attended the races at Nelson, where his two horses Jael and Gold Bag, had engagements. The marriage took place last week at St. Luke’s, Wadestown, Wellington, of M'SS Joyce Kaier, daughter of Mr and the late Mrs Kaier, of Reef’ ton, to Mr Claude Goddard. Indicators for the fire plugs are now being placed in position by the County. This i s an innovation that will be great ly appreciated by members of the Fire Brigade and others, who, when an outbreak of fire takes place have on occasions lost valuable time in locating a plug, owing to the grass, which growb so rapidly on Reefton streets obscu ing it from view.
