WAIROA NEWS
(Herald Correspondent.) The weather has cleared, but most of the garden plots are very boggy. The rainfall, as recorded by Mr, Mackay, for the 48 hours ended 9 a.m. on Wednesday, was 2.99 in. The annual report of the Wairoa StarrBowkett Building Society is of a satisfactory nature. The profit and loss account stands at £2407 14s 6d, equal to £22 18s 7d per share, and since June, 1930, £9 per share has been paid in connection with No. 1 issue. In No. 2 issue £750 was advanced during the year on mortgage. The profit and loss account stands at £2955 14s sd, equal to £ll 18s per share for the year. Regret is expressed that advances had to be curtailed owing to the large number of subscribers who have drawn out.
The Wairoa Municipal Band was particularly unfortunate in tho weather on Monday night, and the attendance at the hull, for which considerable preparations had been made, was greatly affected. A howling southerly gale and torrents of rain kept large numbers at tho fireside ; nevertheless, there were 150 present. The hall was tastefully decorated. The Klick Klark orchestra provided the music. The floor was controlled by Messrs. C. C. Poyzer and G. McLachlan. The supper, which was in the hands of the ladies, left nothing to he desired. During an interval the Mayor, Mr. if. h. Harker, on Ixdialf of the band, thanked those who were present and especially the. ladies’ committee, which had worked so hard to make the function Hie success that it deserved to be, and which no doubt it would have been but for the disastrous weather. In order to make up in some measure for the losses sustained by the band through the had weather, two anonymous donors have given £4 10s to the fund, and Mr. Glengarry £1 Is and Mr. M. B. Svensen 10s.
