TUAKAU TOWN BOARD.

WHARFAGE ON ROAD METAL. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN COB.EESPONDENT. ] TUAKAU, Friday. The Tuakau Town Board met last evening, the chairman, Mr. W. J. Taylor, presiding. The Morrinsville and Pukekohe Borough Councils invited the board to lake part in a conference to be held to urge the railway authorities to have the ■wharfage fee on road metal landed at Mercer reduced or abolished. The chairman was appointed to represent the board at the conference. The Raglan County Council advised that it could not agree to co-operate in the scheme for establishing a, public pound at Tuaktiu. The matter was left to Mr. H. 0. Mellsop to take any steps he might think advisable to induce the council to reconsider its decision. The question of the expenditure of the fund for a memorial to soldiers from the district who lost their lives in the war was discussed. Some members contended that as the money had been raised for a cenotaph, it should be used to erect a cenotaph. Others pointed out tha.t a public meeting had requested that the money should be used to insert memorial scrolls on either side of the entrance to the town hail. No agreement was reached, the chairman and others remarking that the matter was really one for the trustees of the fund.
