The Remuera arrived at Colon on October 4th from Southampton, en route to Auckland. The Narbanne sailed from Panama on October 2nd, en route to Auckland from Liverpool. She will also call at Napier. A man named Andrew Massen Hamilton aged 88, a returned soldier receiving a small pension, and employed as a labourer by the Public Works Department at Eskdale, left there on August 23 presumably with the view of interviewing a doctor at Napier, which place he left yesterday, presumably on His return journey to Eskdale. He called at the Pctane Hotel at 9 o ’clock, and asked for a bed, telling the. porter that his bicycle had broken down. He then retired to bed, and was found by the licensee, Mr U. Parker, at 11 o’clock this morning quite dead. The body was removed to the Napier Morgue. At to-day’s meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Coupty Council the chairman (Mr. 1 Mason Chambers) said that the request ol Cr. Guthrie-Smith for a grant ror road purposes showed how difficult it was to fill the position of chairman. He was expected to carry on with a minimum of cost. He felt it ver- much that the rates struck were hardly sufficient to do justice to th© roads, and all rj»>ng he had thought more ought to be done. He would get into nice trouble if the Council had a deficit at the end of th© financial year. During th© year, especially, during the winter months, there should have been a heavy expenditure, but they'were faced with the Antecedent Liability Bill, {hich, in his opinion, was a bugbear. f they had a reserve fund the ppsition would be relieved. Cr. H. M. Campbell: The position is unbearable just now. and I am quite in accord with your suggestion. NOW! Egg preserving time. Use SHARLAND’S “MOA” BRAND EGG PRESERVATIVE.
