A letter intimating that the Governor -General would be visiting Greytown on January 28, from 11 a.m. to '12.20 p.m., was read at Monday night's meeting of the Greytown Borough Council. The Mayor (Mr. H. T. Rees) stated that, in compliance with His Excellency’s request, it was not proposed to make any elaborate preparations for the reception. This would be held at the Town Hall, where a platform would be erected for the official party and members of the council and wives.
