Waipiro.

v Vicar: Rev. J. Pigott. Thespians p£ the new church for Waipiro B^ay have been parsed by the Diocesan Trustees, the Maoris however^propose placing some ,rather elaborate carving ' round the walls. When the design^ of ]t;his haves been received by the architect we shall be able to c,ail for tenders for the work immediately. The building, which is to be of brick, ought to be a li'andsoine addition to the township. A combined buggy shed and stable has been built on the Vicarage section, which is proving a great pon,venienee to the Vicar.. _ „

At a .recent meeting .off the V*Btty it was decided < to raise the Vicar's stipend 'as from April Ist m accordance withjthe request -of the. Cteneral and Diocesan, Synods. The work of connecting the < Vicarage with ' the Tokomaru 'telephone exchange 'has been jsubjfcctedi to a series of delays. Now it is held up ,onJ account vof a native owner's unwillingness to allow the line to go through his property.
