At a recent meeting, the Taihape Borough Council amended conditions pertaining to the letting of the Town Hall, to provide that all members of the council be granted free tickets for al! entertainments except those for charity purposes. The effect of this, ie already apparent, as -two travelling companies’ recently cut out Taihape rather than submit to these conditions. Whatever compensation councillors may lie entitled to for their services, it appears certain that they are not going to have free entertainment if the travelling companies can help it. It is understood that when the council’s decision w’as announced, most of the companies were circularised, and that -there is an agreement among them to cut out Taihape unless the Town Hall conditions are amended. Only the best makes of ready-to-wear suits are stocked by the Melbourne Limited; nothing is not branded. The makers’ name in eve\y instance is there as a guarantee of the excellence of the garment.
