Great difficulty is being experienced by the Taumaruuui Borough Council in obtaining necessary labour to carry out repairs in the borough after the hood (states the Taumarunui' Press). Ihe works on the flat, stated the Mayor at a meeting of the council this week, had now been completed, and the staff and labour engaged had not been able so fur to carry out the necessary repair work at Matapuna, They were now endeavouring to move on to Matapuna as soon as possible so that the ratepayers m that direction might have their wants attended to.

The board members saw the, local brigade away, and also the operation of the backingup system now used, by- which another brigade assists.
