MORRINSVILLE AFFAIRS.
COMMUNITY LIGHTING. PROPOSED SCHEME DISCUSSED. [from our own correspondent.] MORRINSVILLE, Saturday. Tho question of community lighting was considered by the Morrinsville Chamber of Commerce at its last meeting. The president, Mr. A. H. J. Wyatt, presided. The chairman referred to the previous negotiations with tho Thames Valley Power Board, which had broken down on account of a disagreement over costs. A letter was received from the Power Board stating that it would be pleased to meet the chamber to discuss the question further. It was decided that the chamber should endeavour to arrange for a supply at £3 per 100 candlelight, and, in lieu of a charge of £2 for installation, the first year's charge should be paid in advance. Mr. Gummer mentioned the bad state of the roadway at the railway station. The Borough Council had put the street in first-class order right up to the gate at the entrance to the station, but the railway authorities had let their roadway get into a very bad condiion. It was decided to write to the stationmaster and draw his attention to the bad state of the yards.
