FRASERTOWN.
(From Our Own Correspondent.) The Public Works Department has notified the County Council that owing to pressure of work, tho plans for the Frasertown bridgo, which wero to have been ready this' month, null not bo completed before July next. >'
Owing to tho non-arrival of the valuation rolls, tho County Council and Harbor Board have been unable to issue tho demands for the current year’s rates. A curious instance of what' might be termed the “homing” instinct of the Maori in cases of sickness and accident, occurred recently. A To Reinga native, -while in Gisborne, was thrown from liis horse and sustained serious injuries. Instead of getting him attended to on the spot his mate packed him all the way from Gisborne to Wairoa for medical aid, when it was found that he was suffering from dislocation of the left hip, a broken rib, and severe bruises and contusions.
