“The gardens in the Square are the best advertisement that Palmerston North has,” declared Mr A. J. Graham when dealing with reserves at his meeting at "West End last night. Amos Staton, aged 41, a Welshman, who stowed away on board the Somerset at Brisbane on April 15, was dealt with at the Auckland Court yesterday. Staton stated that he stowed away because he was unable to find work m Brisbane. A fine of £5, or seven days imprisonment, was inflicted. When dealing in his address at West End last night with the water question, Mr A. J. Graham said that many inaccurate statements had been made regarding the position. The scheme that had been recommended to the incoming council, he stated, would cost £52,000, and it would give an adequate supply both as regards quality and quantity, to the hospital and Terrace End areas. On Anzac Day a combined memorial service will be held in the Ashhurst School grounds. If wet the service will take place in the Anglican Church.
