Tlie MaungahuijV.'Mqeralci, Rotorua, and Turakina will probahly be within wireless range to-night. For the, _4.-hqur period ended at 9 a.m. tp-da*y 6.14 of ah inch of rain was registered '-^Gisbbrne. Dr. Williams, a lady, medical practitioner, arrived from South this morning,., and, will, practice . her profession here m conjunction with Dr. C. F. Scott. A notification is contained m the last Gazette, proclaiming Waipiro No. 6, Te Puia block, recently purchased from the natives,' to be Crown land. The Finance Committee of the Borough Council is to meet early next week m order to decide upon the most suitable steps to be taken m connection with the raising of the additional loan. Owing to the rain having seriously interfered with the Turanga Garden Fete, the Fete Committee have decided to hold a tea and social m tho Waerenga-a-hika Public Hall to-morrow evening. It is hoped that there will be a largo attendance. The proceeds -will be divided between the Waerenga-a-hika and Patutahi parishes. j ' The Works Committee of the Boroujjh Council are to meet at 10 a. m. to-mor-row, when-they will be driven over the principal' roads and streets m **th© borough. This course is being adopted m order to enable the committee to come to a,- decision iv regard to the question of repairing the roads before the winter finally seis in. It is riot improbable that .all permanent road work will be stopped m the meantiftie, and all the available supplies of metal diverted; ffltl repairing purposes. ■ . ..- • i "Aaioth.er of Gisborne's mistakes," <exclainjed a bystander as the Strainer waggon was vainly endeavoring to mak,e headway along Custom House street thi./ m,orning, drawing a heavy load of electric lighting poles. The cause of the trouble was that the hind. wheels of, the ■Stroker wo_ld not grip on.' the greasy 'road, and kept revolving uselessly for several minutes. Sacks and chains were called into requisition ,to proyide a hold for the wheels, . and eventually, after much trouble, the unwieldy vehicle reached the better going m Gladstone road. The representations of a Motu correspondent respecting an improved n\iil service for Motu , was brought under the notice of Mr W. D. S. Mac Donald, M.P., to-day. The member for the. Bay of Plenty said that if the metalling of Neill road was far enough advanced to carry wheel traffic through the .winter he certainly thought the Postal Department should give the matter , consideration, and if satisfactory arrangements could be made with the- present mail contractor from WtAikphu, to Moivr. via Whakarau, the' Dtepartment' Kh'o'nld do so, aha establish a daily service.' ' "We are meeting, together '-gam' at' Wellington m 10 days* or d; forf-tught ' when the reconstruction, of tne'Mlriistry will be decided, *tipbri," remarked Mr W. D. S. Mac Donald, 3VLP., to a Herald representative to-day. . "In the meantime there is a good deal of work to be done. The Prime. Minister has told our party definitely that he will retire from his Ministerial petition."'; Asked as to whether there was any likelihood of Sir Joseph Ward being appointed British Trade Commissioner as suggested, he replied, "The party understand from the Prime Minister that he has no desire at tho present time to leave New Zealand to take up any appointment."

The mixed .train due ; to. arrive at Hastings shortly after p'!m. ori Tuesday" was about three hours late*. The delay wa s occasioned" by the derailment; bf two trucks of timber, arid bri^ truck of shee^' ( during . shunting; ""'' operations' at , Waipukurau. The derailed trucks blocked the line, .makH'ng |t iriipossible' for the train to, proceed on its .journey, . rriuch to the annoyance . of, the p-^sengers.: There was a fairly Marge continent of visitors aboard the tram for -tlie' Hawke's Bay Show, ,and were heartily tired of the. journey by the time they • arrived at their destination. ■ I.

At the same time, the Mayor pointed' out, the men are not rendered idle -when the crushers are, not working, as, unless m the case of very heavy rain, : there is always some other, branch of the work at which they •Jan be occupied. When discussing the question of raising the additional loan recently authorised by the ratepayers, Cr Bright stated at Tuesday night*, meeting of the Boroiigh C9uncU,t>hat; the .State' Guaranteed Advances Departuienb. wa» not issuing advances of ovei* £5000. Questioned on the 'subject 'to-day, "Mi* W. D. ' S. ■\lacDonald v iexplairied ; .that' the Department was giving preference to loans under £5000..
