Poor People-Poor Us!
The Levin Borough Council was engaged in "a serious discussion last night. The atmospiiere was qqite tense. Suddenly, through the stilipess of the night was heard the lilting strains of a popular melody sung in beautiful discord, accqnipanied by the loud banging of doors along the passage outside. "What's that?" asked the Mayor, Mr. H. B. Burdekin, as the councillors' serious debate evaporated in laughter. - Said Cr. R. A. Frederiksqn, man-aging-secretary of the Hqrpwhenua Electric Power isoard. It sounds like one of my staff. They're back again tonight working out the individual power allocations. I'm ,afraid it's getting them that way.
