CAMBRIDGE JUBILEE
On August 19 next the borough of Cambridge will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. To mark the occasion celebrations extending over five days are being planned by a strong committee of citizens, recently elected for the purpose. There arc many former residents of this attractive Waikato town scattered throughout the Dominion, and the organisers of the festivities hope that as many of them ns possible will revisit Cambridge in August.
It was on August 19. ISS6, following a petition from a number of ratepayers of the Cambridge Town Board, that the proclamation creating the town a borough was gazetted. The first Mayor was Mr John Gwynncth. His successors and the councillors who have been in office since 1886 have created a progressive town which is justly famed for its trees, parks and other scenic attractions, and also for its sporting facilities.
