MR MONTGOMERY AT PIGEON BAY.
Mr Montgomery addressed the electors on Monday night last, in the schoolroom, Pigeon Bay. There was a very large attendance. Mr Pitcaith was duly voted to the chair, and in a few appropriate words introduced Mr Montgomery to the meeting. Mr Montgomery, who was warmly received, spoke at length. During his speech he was loudly cheered, Mr J. W, Marshall said, if in order, he would ask Mr Montgomery what could be done with regard to the mail, as next year they were only going to have it twice a week. As the population was increasing fast its loss would be seriously felt.
Mr Montgomery thought a petition was the best way to secure their ends. It was agreed that the Road Board appoint some one to go round with it and get it signed, and forward it to Mr Montgomery, who, on being asked, promised to do what he could.
Mr Hemingway proposed, and Mr Firrnston seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr Montgomery for his address, which was unanimously carried, Mr Montgomery moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was duly acknowledged,
