The profit for the Post and Telegraph Department for the past year amounted to the very respectable total of £98,798 18 6, and had it not been for the increased cost of carrying seaborne mails the profit would have been much larger. Mr A. Schmitt, organiser and provincial secretary to the New Zealand Farmers’ Union was in Te Awamutu yesterday, at the request of the local settlers and has arranged to hold a meeting next Monday at 3 p.m. in the Town Hall for the purpose of forming a combined branch of the Union for Te Awamutu and Kihikihi. A successful branch has been formed at Hairini, and no doubt Te Awamutu will be equally successful.
