We hope he may achieve it. bays the Wairarapa Star :—“The Mas terton Licensing Bench has givon instructions to the Sergeant of Police to prosecute Mr Dyson, the lessee of the Makakahi Hotel, for selling liquor without a license.

Mr G. Moore, County Clerk, has drafted a new by-law which will enable the Council to enforce its wish with regard to the care of the roads during the winter months.
