From 26 applications, one of which was from Sydney, Mr R. F. Mainland, engineer to the Lower Hutt Borough, was yesterday appointed engineer to the New Plymouth Borough Council, in succession to the late Mr C. Clark. To become secretary of the New Zealand Baptist Union and Missionary Society, the Rev. Lawrence A. North will shortly resign the pastorate of the Oxford Terrace Baptist Church, Christchurch, where he has been for the last seven and a-half years. He expects to take up his new duties in October.
Probably the oldest white woman in New Zealand, Mrs Emma Harries, of Cargill Road, South Dunedin, will celebrate her 104th birthday on Monday, with a quiet gathering of her relatives and the cutting of a birthday cake. Mrs Harries was born in London on July 18, 1834, and she sailed for Australia when she was 22 years of age. She remained there for 20 years before coming to New Zealand in 1888.
