Approached at Monday night s meeting by the Mavor with a request that he again offer his services at the forthcoming election, he said he was uncertain. The Mayor (Mr M. E. Perreau) thanked Cr Thompson for the regular manner m which he had. attended meetings of the council over a period of years.

On the ground that Foxton is not sufficiently served with recreation grounds, Cr. F.' Robinson sought improvements to Victoria Park at Monday night’s council meeting. He suggested that ilic sand hills Oil the southern and eastern ends be levelled and the spoil used to till depressions in the reserve. The council intends . to inspect the area with a view to liu\ mg the job carried out as a relief work. Thero is a decided improvement- m the condition of Mr C. Edwards, of Beach Road, who has been seriously ill. The friends of Mr J. H. Reid, of M ellington, who has been staying with his 1 daughter-in-law, Mrs H. J. Reid, of Half t
