GR\SS CUTTING

It was decided that last year's arrangement for grass cutting in the Domain be continued. IMPROVEMENTS POLICY.

Mr Dickinson asked what amount was available for improvements, after providing for salaries and expenses of administration. His object in asking was to see if it were not possible to obtain an expert report, so that a continuous policy of improvements might be pursued. He thought the Auckland Council might be' induced to let the Board have the services of their landscape gardener (Mr Pearson), for the purpose.

The chairman said the Board already had such a report, prepared hy Mr Pearson, but it was found that by the time noxflous weeds and the ra"Po in the lake had been dealt with there was no money left to spend on new improvements. The treasurer said the balance for contingent work was about £125 per annum. Mr Dickinson said in time tbe Board would have a lar>>2 income, and a continuous policy would be an advantage.—No action was taken. CARETAKER. The chairman said the present caretaker (Mr J. Rivers) was giving every satisfaction, and as his duties had been added to recently, he proposed that the wages be increased by 6d per day. Mr Souter seconded the motion, which was carried.—Mr Mr Dickinson opposed the increase.

YOU SHOULD BEAR IN MIND. That by using the Commercial Eucalyptus Oil, which is now bought up at 6d per lb weight and bottled, and on account of the large profit pushed.you are exposing yourself to all the dangers to which the use of turpentine will expose you—irritation of kidneys, intestinal tract, and mucous membranes. By insisting on the GENUINE SANDER EUCALYPTI EXTRACT you not only avoid these pitfalls, but you have a stimulating safe and effective medicament, the result of a special and careful manufacture. Rememl)er : SANDER'S EXTRACT embodies the result of 50 years' experience and of special study, and it does what is promised ; it cures and heals without injuring the constituquently do. Therefore, protect yourself by rejecting: other brands.

A million germs woke up one day, Intent on journeying miles awayt; Cough, cold, amd fever, asthma too, These germs were named by those who knew ; And people grew so muoh alarmed They realised they might be harmed, But all at once the germs fell dead, They'd met Woods' Peppermint Cure 'tis said. 5
