It is* notified on behalf of the Westland County Council to-day that on and after Monday next stock at large between Hokitika river and Ross Borough will be liable to be impounded, or the owners prosecuted' for permitting the stock to be at large. Mr Walter Thomson of Ross has been appointed County Stock Ranger for the district in question. The erection of the poles within the borough for the electric light service for street lighting, is now in hand. The work, however, will occupy some time before the service is available for practical use. It should be safe, nevertheless, to look forward to the lighting of the streets as a Christmas box for Hokitika, so that when the festive season comes along, the streets will be well lit, and thus add to the amenities of the place.
