The .general feeling was .averse to the sub-way being anything more than for pedestrians. As the Mayor had intimated that he would call a public meeting to deal .with the question, it. was decided not to take any action until it was ascertained what would be done at. the meeting. The question of establishing industries in Palmerston, such as a woollen mill, jam factory, soap and candle works, etc., was. also discussed, 1 but no action taken. The local committee of the National Sweet Fo.T. Society-has appointed a. subcommittee, to draft a prize schedule for the next show. . A ladies' committee is being formed.
