Mr. J. Kelly of the Southland County Council Engineering Staff has been appointed Engineer to the Awakino County Council and takes up his duties immediately.

The funeral took place on September 12th at Wellington of Mr. John Twist, who for fifty years past had been identified with the building trade in that city. He was always recognised as an expert craftsman, and many of the buildings erected during the last half-century bear a tribute to his workmanship. .In 1868 Mr. Twist was associated with the late Mr. Samuel Brown in laying the telegraph line from Wellington to Masterton. During the later period of his life Mr. Twist had been connected with the Public Works Department.
