At a meeting of the Groymouth High School Hoard of Governors, on Friday, Mr W. P. Kettle, who has been associated with the Hoard for the past 30 years, was appointed chairman in succession to the late Mr Clement Parfit.t, whoso place on the Hoard Jias been taken by his son, Mr W. H. Parfitfc. The Canterbury Education Hoard wrote asking whether the GrCy Hoard bad any intention of subsidising the salary of. the extra assistant to be appointed. as there was a proposal to transfer Miss Olliver from Waimate. in which ease she would rank as second assistant. Her present salary was £350, plus £4O subsidy, and she would have to 'O-1 that salary trt make it worth while to accept the transfer. After a lengthy discussion, it was unanimously agreed in face of the Holt C. J. Part s remarks regarding the .subsidising of salaries, that the Education Hoard he informed it would not he just to sul>--idise the salary.

Mr S. W. Ford, of tile Electric Pow.o Company, is leaving shortly nil a vi«it to San Francisco, where business and pleasure will bo the object- of tin* trip. Mr R. E. Cranston is to visit, the North Island shortly on important business. During the absence of these oeiitleineii Messrs Langford and Morns will be in charge locally. From what can he gleaned the question of a second diedge for Rimu Flat has been determined upon. The dredge will he about tl K - size of the present dredge, hut it is likelv the hull will be of steel, instead of timber. The matter of the extra power required to work tile second dredge is now being gone into, indicating that the whole project will be on v-'ry substantial lines. The Company has on order, also, some expensive a<liustment of the town power and lightin,- supply, so as to eliminate the dicker which at times is noticeable when the full power is required for the operating of the dredging plant. Jhe enterpri.e being shown by the American c.pitalists in this matter is ot course of great value to the district which is reaping many collateral advantages as tin- result of the mining developments ~oiii<r forward. It is not unlikely m the end that the now- m mimt will lead to very considerable expansion later in other parts of Westland when a reserve supply ol electric power is available to operate on othei "t j known tpiriferolis fields adjacent to the line of power supply.
