Mr Wilkie : How about the retrenchment you talked of at Waikaka ? Mr llobertson : I never mentioned retrenchment at Waikaka. What I said was that many of the small £5 or jGIO jobs at present done by the surfacemen could be done for less money if let by contract, and I say so now, as the surfacemen have plenty to do to keep the made roads in repair, and that the engineer could be better employed if he travelled more over the roads, as I have no doubt he is often employed at clerical work in the office, which a man at half his salary could da just as well. Mr J. Maher : I wish to bear out what Mr Eobertson said about the travelling expenses, as to-day I passed over a piece of road that was damaged to the amount of what would send a man to Invercargill three times. Jock : " Sirs the day ! new claes, nae less !" Sandy : " Nae sic luck, but a wee bottle of McKenzie's Cleaner — that's a. It's like'X rays ' ; taks a' the dirt aff, an' maks the claith as quid as ever."— [Advt.] Mrs McTavish : " Hech me ! Mrs McNab, but yir lookin' sair forfoughten." Mrs McNab : " An' nae wunner. Polishin' that furniture for twa hale days ; an' it's no a bit nicer." Mrs McTavish : " Hoots, wummin I use McKenzie's Polish.
