The attention of our readers is directed to a “good thing” announcing a free gift box of Gaiiong’s lovely chocolates to collectors of a certain number of coupons as enclosed in all tins of Swift polishes. Swift is a wellknown English brand, and at the various British and Continental exhibitions has secured the highest awards (17 gold medals). This should convince the most sceptical that the quality of the polish is of an exceptionally high grade, which is claimed to be unsurpassed by any 7 other make, and more economical 'in use and price. Tn order to popularise Swift polishes the New Zealand representatives are giving away the above-mentioned chocolates. Which, needless to say, they would not do without they had every confidence in the polish securing a hold on the New Zealand market.* Some surprise and consternation was caused at the meeting of the Lower Waikato League on Wednesdaynight. states the Ngaruawahia Advocate. on account of the referees of the Association deciding to resign. This action, on the part of these indispensible officials,is no doubt due to the unfortunate incident which occurred at Huntly last Saturday, during the course of the Huntly-Taupiri match, when two Taupiri players were ordered off the field and two others left in sympathy. The League refused to accept the resignations, and decided to call a general meeting, to he held at Taupiri next Monday evening. to deal with the matter, and try and come to an amicable understanding. In the meantime, as there was no other course open, it was decided to -ancel ali matches for the coming Saturday. Apparently there are people in Morrinsville who are imbued with a love of their town, and instead of following the usual practice of waiting for the Borough Council to improve their' streets with borough revenue are prepared to do it themselves. We read that at the last meeting an offer was made on behalf of the residents of George Street. They were anxious to demonstrate to the ratepayers of the town the advisability of laying out the footpaths in the suburban areas on a diff»’ent principle to that followed in the business part of the town and in order to support, the theory they were prepared to stand the bulk of :ue costs incurred. Tf the Council would give its consent the residents of the street were prepared at their own expense to form and grade the footpaths on both sides Of George Street and to sow same down in grass, planting trees at intervals. All they asked the Council was to provide guards in order to adequately protect, the trees planted and to gravel a narrow footway on one footpath. Experf'ntv < showed that not only would the grass plots he exceedingly pleasing to the- eye, but that the maintenance of such a footpath would he very much •less than the maintenance of other footpaths in the borough, ft was desired to have the trees planted during the coining summer. The Mayor: It’s a pretty good offer. Mr Thomas: I move that we accede to the request. The town would look a lot better if we could get all the streets done like that. Or Chapman seconded, and the motion was carried. “ What perils do environ mankind.” Anon.
