Comment on the expeditious manner in which the , Mayor had conducted, the council mertings during the year. a nd had extended every courtesy to the councillors was made by the deputyMayor, Cr. N. B. Fletcher, at the meeting of the Stratford Borough Council last night. Cr. R. F. Harkness, speaking on similar ■lines, mentioned the. council’s indebtedness to the Mayoress for her social work and activity in public inatters. The Mayor entertained the councillors and the Press at supper after the meeting. .

Oh behalf of the Methodist Bible classes Mr. A. H. Gaze asked the Stratford Borough Council last night for permission to: carol in the borough on Christinas Day from 5 a,m. to 8 a.ip. Collections, he said, would be taken only from church members and adherents. The town clerk pointed out that the council had already reserved the date for the Municipal Band, and it was de-, cided to grant permission to the Bible classes as long as they could make ;an amicable arrangement with the . band. With the probability in view of moving pictures- being shown in the Town. Hell next year the. Stratford Borough Council decided la?t ;night to defer consider-, ation of the application "of the Stratford Rifle Club for the use of the area neath .the floor of e-the hall for a/rifle range., ./, / , /. <.

: Seasonable. greetings to■ Mr. R. W. S.M.,' were ' extended - ♦at’ l /the Stratford Court yesterday by Mr. N.. H?-Moss on behalf of the law offices, police . and/ Court staff. As he understood, that Mr. Tate would sit at Stratford’ again? iii ' the New Year before he retired Mr. MosS deferred any remarks in that connection. A coinplaint that her husband, Albert ' Joseph Ryan,, relief x worker ofStrathmore, had failed to provide her. and her child with adequate maintenance /was made by Gladys M,' Ryan at' the Stratford Coprt Ryan said receiving a married man’s relief pay of £1 a week. Mr. R. W? Tate, SM-, ordered Ryan to.pay 10s a week—the difference between the relief pay of a married man and of a single ‘ man— seeing - that he was living apart from his wife.

Each, parcel contained flour, sugar, tea, butter,’ jam, muscatels, .bacon, currants, jellies, nuts, lollies, lemon squash, spice , and . pineapple. That •' so many of these parcels were available ,is due to a very large extent to the actiyi- . ties of the “Eltham Merrymakers.”' Last year only about £l2 worth of groceries were distributed. ’ /-

A competition conducted by' the. Kaponga business men in aid of the Christmas carnival festivities’ was won by Mr.R. Noonan. ‘
