Following strong criticism of the rising burden of hospital rates, members contending 1 that conferences, re-i solutions of protest and remits to the Counties’ Association had failed, the Kairanga County Council decided to launch a Dominion campaign leading to a deputation of protest to the Government.

Moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet at the annual meeting of J. R. McKenzie, Ltd., Sir Charles Statham said that in producing a profit of £85,352 they had to provide for taxes to the extent of £42,613. Shareholders would realise from that just what a hungry sleeping partner they had in the State. He mentioned also that shareholders on the register for a full year would receive 18 per cent, on their capital. Oil being presented with a silver trowel at the laying- of the foundation stone of a new Catholic church at Timaru, his Lordship Bishop Brodie said that ho used to envy the late Archbishop Redwood when he saw his magnificent array of similar souvenirs. But, said Bishop Brodie, lie was glad to find that throughout every diocese in New Zealand there had been so many structures built in the last 23 years that as a result his own collection was assuming big dimensions.

He had made inquiries, he said, and had found that at one time Honolulu had been covered with hoardings. But there was a powerful women’s organisation, and by persuasion and other tactics it had induced the authorities to bring in a law forbidding hoardings. It seemed that women took a greater interest in municipal polities than they did elsewhere. Mr E. A. Shattky, E. 1.0., F.S.M.C. (Lond.), of Messrs Shattky and Webber, Opticians, of Hastings, visits Waipawa each Tuesday morning.

The wooden expressions of the players intrigued him. The practice of adding 12 per cent, to tile hotel hills, and a surcharge of another 6 per cent., considering that tips to everybody assisting in the traveller’s enjoyment had to he paid, struck him as rather stiff.
