The new building is fo occupy the corner oi j. Ruataniwha and Northumberlaud j streets, where tlie old premises. for- | merly occupied by Bryce's grocery I store, now stand.

A section of the Hastiugs- Waipukurau main highway which is in a eunsbant state of disrepair is that plecv hetiveen Waipawa and the traific bridge on the Waipukurau side. Owiug to the proximity of a steep bank which keeps tho sun oif the road practically all day in the winter months, this section qf the road is almost always damp and this no^doubt accounts for the difficulty m coping with the "potholes v The Dairy Industry.
