COUNTRY NOTES.
(From our Exchanges.) No further progress is being made with the Mount Ida head race. The truth is, the further development of the race is nobody’s business, and, we greatly fear, is likely to remain attached to the same most important Government functionary. A large amount of labor is now available in the Mount Ida district. A number of meu are travelling in seaich of employment, more so than we {‘Chronicle’) remember to have been the case for the last two years. At the last monthly meeting of the Arrow Miners’ Association the following resolution was carried—That a request be forwarded to the General Government, praying for such provision to be made in the Local Government Bill as will provide that the special taxation raised in each goldfields district be placed at the disposal of a Board of Miners for public works, such Board will be elected by the miners of the district.’'
At a recent meeting of the Clyde Municipal Council, convened to fix the annual rate, the Town Clerk read a letter from the agent of the Bank of New South Wales referring to the probable liability of the town, and suggested that a2s fid in the £1 rate be levied. The rale was fixed at Is fid in the £l.
