CARTERTON BAND.

BUSINESS AT ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Carterton Municipal Band was held on Thursday night. Mr. D. N. Adams was elected to the chair. The annual report and balance sheet were considered very satisfactory. A note of warning regarding expenditure was sounded by the hon. auditor, Mr. H. M. B. Trapp, and this furnished members with some food for thought regarding the future conduct of the band’s affairs. The conductor’s report, which was also of a highly satisfactory nature, was adopted. Votes of thanks were accorded the ladies’ committee, the retiring officers, conduetor and press for services rendered. A special vote of appreciation was also tendered Mr. D. NT.
