NEWSTEAD HALL OPENED. [BT TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] HAMILTON. Tuesday. The Newstead Public Hall was officially opened by the Hon. J. A. Young, Minister of Health, to-day. Speeches were made by M\ W. Griffin, chairman of the hall committee, and Mr. T. Hinton, the riding representative on the Waikato County Council. Mr. Young congratulated the district on the fine building ihat had been erected. The growth of any district was the result of the activities of the people, and he applauded the enterprise shown by the settlers in the Newstead district.
