Chester and C. Mortimer failed to convert, This, however, was incorrect as Rauhihi scored the try and D. Pedersen attempted the goal. Stray Dogs Stray dogs are still causing a nuisance in the main streets of the town. Their presence endangers the public in as much that passing motorists swerve to avoid them and they distract the attentaon of motorists. Local drivers, however, are more concerned at removing 'them by their own method. It is hoped that an eifort will be made by the authorities to have them removed from the streets.
