PALMERSTON DAY BY DAY.
(By Telegraph—Special Correspondent.) Palmerston, August 26. But for tho good fortune that a resident happened to pass at the time, a serious conflagration would undoubtedly have occurred on Saturday afternoon. It appears that some boys had piled up a heap of driftwood under the eastern end of the Tity.herhert Bridge, and had set fire to it, and,- had it not been for the timely nr-/ rival of tho resident, the bridge would undoubtedly have been destroyed. What this would have meant can bo inferred from tho fact that this bridge carries the pipes of the town water supply, and is on the main road to Wellington and intermediate districts. At tho Police Court to-day, it cost a. motorist. 225. for leaving his car on the cyclo track on Cuba Street. A young man named Benjamin Matthews, formerly ' at the Bovs' Training Farm, was charged with stealing .£lO, the property of 11. Bennett, of Aorangi. Accused was ordered back to the training farm, the money 1 to be refunded to the owner. The local Chamber of Commerce has been advised by the Postal Department ' that the material for the installation of the metallic telephone system in Palmerston Ims been ordered. '
