A letter was received from the Taranaki Education Board stating that it was prepared to give all information as to the account to the Hawera board and to meet it and discuss the position. A resolution was passed appointing the chairman and the director i to investigate the technical schools’ fund account for the purpose of obtaining the i necessary facts with which to meet the board.

The Eltham Salvation Army Boys’ Orphanage Band and a company of choristers and soloists spent the weekend in Hawera and attracted a great deal of attention by their performances. Under Commandant and Mrs. Home, the boys played a number of selections on the streets on Saturday afternoon and evening, drawing large audiences. On Sunday afternoon they gave an open-air concert in the park under the baton of Mr. Bridger, and in the evening submitted an excellent programme In the Opera House.
