It was reported at yesterday’s meeting of the Franklin County Council that 21 tenders had been called for various works in the county and that all had been let. The chairman mentioned that it was very gratifying to know that the various works had been let. There had been keen competition in tendering, in fact the best they had had for years. Ratepayers would now get value for their money. He was very pleased indeed to see competition for contracts. Cr. Wilcox: The Council is now over the worst.

Papakura residents are advised to note the advertisement appearing today stating that the headmaster of the Pukekohe Technical High School will be pleased to meet them in the Papakura School on Thursday evening, March 10th, at 7.30 p.m. News was received yesterday in Pukekohe of the death of Ethel May Burgess, fourth daughter of Mr and Mrs T. Burgess, of Morrinsville. The Burgess family are very well known in Pukekohe, Mr Burgess having worked for Mr Roulston for some years. Great sympathy is extended to the family in their sad bereavement.

In an advertisement in this issue, Miss Alice Ryan, A.T.C.L., announces that she has acquired Miss M. Taylor’s music connection in Pukekohe. Miss Ryan, who was a former pupil of Mr Cyril Towsey, the famous pianist and accompanist, has had considerable experience with children, and is prepared to coach pupils for examinations. She has many certificates, and has studied modern methods in pianoforte and voice production. Pupils will be enrolled at her studio, opposite Messrs Frank Perkins and Co.’s store in King Street, on and after Monday next.

The Franklin A. and P. Society, assisted by the local police, are hot on the scent of the feeble-minded individuals who broke open the industrial shed after the recent show and stole and destroyed a number of exhibits. A reward of £5 is offered today for information leading to conviction and it is rumoured that already the heavy hand of the law is about to descend upon the senseless culprits. When apprehended it is expected the only defence will be that of a deranged mind, but whatever the defence the culprits are likely to be taught a salutory lesson. A month in Mount Eden is surely the least such conduct merits.

An announcement of rather special interest appears in our advertising columns to-day. This refers to the well known Crothall Way Company, of 137, Symonds Street, Auckland, who have made a great reputation for their skill in renovating all descriptions of wearing apparel and. making it almost like new again. They also re-model old-fashioned garments and bring them right up-to-date. The company are not merely renovators of clothing, but practical tailors (an unusual combination), Mr E. E. Crothall the head of the concern,. was formerly a member of the staff of Scott and Co., one of the leading tailoring houses of the West End of London, and patronised by royalty, and all re-modelling, alterations, repairs, etc., are done under Mr. Crothall’? personal supervision. The Crothall Way Company’s charges tie most reasonable.
