The opening date is a week earlier that for last year, but a slight comparative increase was revealed in the supply.

Power Board Office Alterations The Central Hawke’s Bay Electric Power Board has just had carried out certain interior alterations to its premises in Russell Street, affecting considerable improvement in the lay-out of the office. By the removal of a partition a spacious public office has been provided for the accommodation of the whole of the clerical staff, which formerly occupied two separate rooms. This will make the working conditions of the office far more convenient. The secretary-manager’s office is now situated conveniently in the front of the building, the former public office being utilised for this purpose. The work was carried out at a small outlay, very little new material being required. Wallingford Women’s Institute The monthly meeting was held on the 17th inst., Mrs J. D.
