A remarkable claim for damages came before the One Tree Hill Road Hoard recently, when a local shopkeeper demanded the price of two mats which had been damaged by tar from the street (says the Auckland “Star”). According to the engineer’s report, the footpath outside the shop had been tarred and liberally coaled with shell. The lady of the shop had followed the workmen with a broom and swept the shell off the path, because customers tramped it into the shop and made a mess. She was stopped by the workmen, but as a result of -her operations customers’ feet had carried tar instead of shell into the shop. The claim was rejected.
The presence of tares and wild oats in the wheat crops this year is \ - ery noticeable (states the Timaru Herald”), and there are those who declare that this is a sure sign of disappointing yields.
