Mr H. It. Bunny has been re-elected chairman of the South Wairarapa County Council. Tho merging of tho Taratahi-Carterton Road Board will date as from Ist January, 1903. A number of children in this district, besides suffering from measles and pneumonia, are afflicted with whooping cough. Several old residents are also at present prostrated with illness, and the prevalence of sickness is almost alarming. In view of tho fact that tho only two physicians residing in Carterton cannot copo adequately with tho epidemics, there is some talk of obtaining tlig services of another resident medical officer.
