The Hauraki Drainage Board in this issue give notice of intention to raise a loan of £5000. We regret to report that Mr Johnstone, father of Mr J. Johnstone, Pollea Stireet, died in Aucklannd yesterday.

Mr. Balfour M. .Irvine, eipecdalist in sight testing, will be a,t his rooms, over Mr. Bongard'^ slhop^ . Pollen Street, all day on Wednesdiay next, amd on Thursday morning.... . The secretary of thei local Hospital' Board by advertisement oni page .1, states tihsib voluaiteeiisi are urgenitly needed "for the hospital, nursing and domestic staff. Owing to the large majority of members being" a.bs«n t froia the h<a^f r yearly meeting of the Thaanes Fisheries Union last evening througihi influenza, the meeting was postponed to Friday evening next. I Sir James Allen has announced that in consequence of the departure of troops being postponed', it has been decided to release from oanip soldiers required for farming 1 or industrial work. Owing to the influenza epidemic, the lecture iby Brigadier Wouiters, advertised to take place on Monday ' evening, has been postponed^ Ticket holders are ©specially requesteid to note thiafc the: ticlteifi will hold go&d t for the future date.

The doorwiays of the Waohi: cfoemist shops onl Wednesday night resembled the ticket offices, of thoatres wii busy nighi*. The iinsusal spectacle was due to tihe rush for pamiacieas for influenza.

' The police authorities desire^ mto notify that it is an offence aigadngt the war- regulationis" to : fly 'either the white or the iblue ensign. As people in the exuberance of their joy may unwittingly offend in this respect, it ia well that a wiaa-nihg should be given. The flying of th© Royal Standard also is not permitted. That ' is the King's special flag, and is only flown to indicate "that he is. in residence where the Standard is displayed.- ■■■•■. - v . On .pa.ge 5 of this issue "will be found the continuiing ohaipters of "Tli© Lure of a Woman." An account on the same page of Anglician' services in the Sydney Domain will ■be read with interest. ' On page' 6 a doctor's views on,the < influenza, outbreak is -a specially timely article at this juncture.
