Sawmill workers as well as miners continue to lose wages as the result of the dry weather (states the Grey River Argus). One large mil] in the Grey County, with a good many orders on hand, has not worked more than 17 days since the Christmas holidays. The gold miners at Waiuta have also continued to lose shifts through the lack of water for the ventilation apparatus. " I know that the average motorist is regarded by pedestrians -as something like a devouring lion,” declared Mr A. E. Knowles the other night at the Devonport Borough Council meeting, when speaking in support of a deputation’s request for a new footpath along Lake road, “but the man in the ear often gets a fright quite as serious as the person on foot.”
