No doubt the policy of the Department in holding- the land ballot in v> inter, after short notice, accounts for the small number of applicants. 1 Those who have visited the sections speak in very high terms of the quality of the land, proving- what has often been stated that there is good land round Kawhia. County Council — A meeting was held last night by members of the local comjmittoe, who marked out on a map theiv ideas of where the boundaries should run. The map Ax ill be sent to different parts of the district for them to do likewise., ]t is to bo hoped that time will be given during the present sitting of the- House to consider this most important measure. Despairing of getting Government assistance or permission to form a local body the townspeople have been engaged iii forming tracks and patching holes in this town. Photos of the citizens at nork and of a cart stuck in the middle of the town wore taken, and ™ill be sent to all the illustrated papers, it is to be hoped, however, that none of them find their way into the English papers, otherwise they won't prove good aolvcrtisf/ments of the way things are managed in New Zealand.
