Williams (Minister of Public Works) was told yesterday at Foxton. Mr M. E. Perreau, the _ Mayor, and Mr J. K. Hornblow, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who have been endeavouring to get a new Courthouse, asked the Minister to inspect the building. Being shown the premises, Mr Williams was informed that the borer was all through the building.
