At a meeting of the Thames Valley Power Board a farmer complained that the cost of electricity generated’ at Horaliora was considerably higher than that of a kerosene plant, and that, while it was stated by members that the present charges were likely to be reduced somewhat when the use of electricity was wider, it was also stated that if the demand did not come up to expectations there would 1 be nothing for it but to levy a rate.

At a public meeting at Te Kuiti it was unanimously decided, in connection with the recent prosecution- of the Mayor, Mr. Hine, under the Municipal Corporations Act, “That this meeting expresses it's sincere regret that Mr Hine has been compelled to relinquish the position of Mayor ot this town owing to a technically of the law, and expressiesits appreciation of the work he has done for the welfare of the borough, and hopes that he will be reinstated by th unanimous vote of the ratepayers. This meeting cannot express! itself too highly of the great and unselfish work done by Mr Hine for the benefit of all concerned.”

The spring has come, and we know the difference of winter as it passeth by. The birds come in the morning at break of day, rivalling with one another! till the very throats would seem to burst with their warbling, contesting with their song against each other as though their lives depended on which one can make the best note, till it becomes a grand orchestra which no human voices can ever hope to compete against. So we all hail in Nature’s greatest gift—and thank God for the promise of another harvest. — W. Brown.
