MONTHLY MEETING OF TOWN BOARD HUNTERVILLE. Last Night (OC). —A number of ratepayers in the board's area had not complied with the regulations or taken heed of notices sent out ts> them and had not removed noxious weeds from their property, stated the noxious weeds inspector in a letter to the Hunterville Town Board, at its monthly meeting last week. He asked for permission to take action against the offenders, which was granted. The Chamber of Commerce wrote suggesting that entrance to alleyways be marked off as "no parking” areas, and that a pedestrian crossing be instituted from the Plunket Room to the footpath. In both cases it was left to the works committee to inspect, and to seek advice of the traffic inspector regarding the pedestrian crossing. In reply to a question regarding the water restrictions, the chairman, Cmr. R. A. Gordon, stated that it definitely meant that hoses were not to be used for any purpose. He explained the water position at both Glenmorvin and Rangatira reservoirs and the need to conserve the supply.
