MORRINSVILLE INTERESTS

Mr. IT. Kirk has disposed of his 400acre property on Piakoiti Road, VYalton, and will reside in Morrinsville. In answer to a question at the annual meeting of the Morrinsville Cooperative Rural Intermediate Credit Association, the chairman said the amount which had been advanced, £6,795, was distributed among 11shareholders, so that there was an average of £6OO on loan to each farmer. It would be seen that the advances had been made in fairly large individual loans. Several speakers stressed the fact that none of the applications recommended by the association had been turned down by the Rural Credits Board, and that fact spoke well for the way the Morrinsville directors had carried out their work. ft ft * Little business came before the T\aikato Licensing Committee at its quarterly meeting at Morrinsville on Monday. The meeting opened at noon and was over in three minutes, after renewals of licences had been granted to the hotels in the district and one transfer of a licence approved. ft * # The condition of Mr. L.
