Fair) the guest and speaker at the Civic Club luncheon on Tuesday when he gave an interesting address on borough affairs. Mn H. Mclntyre occupied the chair. By comparative figures, Mr Fair showed that Feilding was in a good position regarding public indebtedness and rating, while at the same time it enjoyed practically every public utility. The town suffered, however, in that it had no public endowments with revenues which would relieve the rates; but that was no reason why the citizens of Feilding should not be proud of their town. Mr Fair considered- it pleasing that visitors had gone out of thein way to compliment him on the clean and tidy appearance the town and residential .area of the borough always presented. Messrs W. E. Carthew, E. Goodbehere and J. S. Tingey eulogised the work Mr Fair had done in the administration of the borough affairs since he assumed Mayoral duties and wished him every success in his second year of office. MIDGET RUGBY.
