At last night 's nnebting of the Waipukurau Borough Council, it was decided to instruct the engineer to get angle parking lines, with the necessary notices, put on the south side of Ruataniwha street, from the Post Office to che Hawke's Bay Farmers' store. There will be a 45-minute time limit, while on the other side parallel parking will still be allowed, but with a, 10-minute time limit. To Cut Out Rail Crossing. The Waipukurau Borough Council, at last night 's meeting, decided to send to the Minister of Railways and Public Works a suggestion for a deviation in the line through Waipukurau, and the moving of the station with the object of cutting out the present dangerous crossing at the end of the main street. The 'suggestion, if adopted, would mpan there would be no necessity for the overhead bridge that has been suggested, and that stock would not have to be driven over the line. The proposed new site of the station would be near the borough pumping station. An aerial photograph, with the suggested deviation drawn in, is to be sent to Wellington, Labour Party Dance. Meoibers of the Otane branch of the Labour Party held another of their dences in aid of the election campaign fund on Saturday.

A very dainty supper was served by members of the social committee under the supervision of Mrs. Huston. A competition, which materially assisted the funds, was won by Mr. McCauley.
