SECOND EDITION

WEATHER FORECAST Captain Edwin wired at noon today as follows: Moderate to scrong westerly winds ; glass rise.

A reminder is given of the social to be held in aid of St. Alark’s Church, Alangatainoka, to-morrow night. The second of a series of assembly dances in connection with the Pahiatua Rifles will be held in the Drill Hall to-morrow night. Air AV. P. James S.AI., in giving his reserved decision in the Police against Charles Ericson for sly-grog selling at Pongaroa, said that he did not believe the evidence for the defence. “Nothing would induce me to take up a Corporation lease. I notice that all sensible people are building at tlie other end of the town.” Thus Air Smith while giving evidence in Air u-ewe’s case. A reminder is given of the horse sale to take place in Alessrs Mitchell and Griffith’s Alart yards on Thursday, at 12.30 o’clock. Vendors must make their entries by 12 o’clock on day of sale, when each class will bo drafted and offered in rotation.— —civt. Air AV. P. James, S.AI., observing a very bulky package of documents in the hands of an objector, said at 12. 45 p.m., yesterday, during the sitting of the Assessment Court: “We’d better adjourn or else we’ll get indigestion.” At a sitting of the Police Court this morning, before Alessrs AV. Dunning and I). Crewe, Justices ,for being drunk, a first offender was convicted and discharged. For smashing a windown another delinquent was fined 13s 6d.

Are blinds part of the furniture? This was a question that cropped up at yesterday’s sitting ot the Assessment Court. Mr D. Crewe maintained they were not. "I've always had to pay for them,” remarked Air AV. P. James, S.Al.' Valuator Lloyd maintains that it a 15-acre section be worth £l2 10s per acre, then a section of 40 acres should he worth £IC per acre, providing that such sections are equal in other respects except acreage. The query arises: AVl.at would he the value of. say. 3500 acres by this ingenious system ? A few gleams of humour temporarily dispelled the dull and dreary atmosphere <n the Assessment Court yesterday afternoon. Air G. h. Smith when pressed for an opinion on the unimproved vale of Air D. Crewe's proport v, remarked. "AA lien we give opinions we generally expect them to be ot some value—and we charge for 1 hem.” At yesterday's sitting of the Assessment Court the Government A’aluator constantly referred to tlie value given to section by the roads leading thereto, but no consideration was given apparently by him to the tact that the roads have to be paid for by the settlers like any other of their improvements. The following team will represent the Konini Football Club in their match with Hukanui on Saturday afternoon next: Alessrs G. Gregory, Smith (2). J. Stewart, I). Jackson, F. Britland. Alurrell. Aloore, Hirst (3), H. Reeves. R. Bain. Anderson, P. Bissett and T. Hodgins. Players are reminded that the drag will leave Konini at 1.30 p.m. sharp. Alany objectors are put to considerable inconvenience and expense owing to the Assessment Court being adjourned lor a week, many laving to come considerable distances to attend the sitting of the Court, and naturally expected that the whole of the eases would be dealt with without a protracted adjournment. This would undoubtedly have been the most expeditious and business-like course to have pursued. As it is. the money saved by a reduction in settlers’ rates

for a year, consequent upon a probable reduction in assessments, will have been swallowed up in travelling expenses.
