WAIKATO DISTRICT NEWS.

[FROM OCR OWN- CORRESPONDENTS.] Hamilton, Wednesday. A meeting of creditors was held yesterday in the estate of Arthur Graham, earner, of mmhridee. The assets were set down at £49 Ss, and the liabilities at £1224 Os, Mr. Camp having been appointed chairman. Mr. \V. A. Richardson was elected as trustee. The tolls of the Waikato bridge for the month of February just ended amount te £5o 1-43, a falling off from the corresponding mouth u£ last vcar, when they amounted to the sum of £TS Os 7d. It must, however, be borne in mind that the new regulation making tile bridge free of toil on Sundays came into force early last month. An Assessment Court for the district 01 Kirikiriroa was held at Mr. \\hitakers house yesterday, before Captain Jud<'e. Mr. T. Patterson, of Komokorau, objected to the excessive valuation of ln= farm. Mr. T. V. Fitzpatrick, valuer, was called in evidence m support of the objection but the district valuer asked that the ca«e be thrown out of Court, on a curious technical informality. The objector lived at Komokorau, and had dated his objection from Jsfgaruawahia, explaining? that he did so because his rating notice had been addressed to him by the district valuer to Ngaruawahia, and asked to have the case heard on its merits. This Captain MePherson objected to, and the case was dismissed. Mr. Fitzpatrick appeared in support of an application by Mr. Xathan Rumney, of Hokouui, who objected on the score of excessive valuation, and the amount was reduced from £1;>0 to £SO. An objection by Mr. T. McDonald, of Koniokuiau, tell u because, though properly addressed to Mr. Whitakeijs lesideuce, it found its way to the Waikato Coanty Conned Chambers, and never reached the Court. !Ni:\ruawaiiia, \\ euiiesaay.
