Wandering cattle came nji again for discussion at Idle County Council meeting yesterday afternoon. There was a diversity of opinion among members as to the best course of action. Some Councillors took exception to tim Roadmen having to report wandering rattle or having to round them up. A southern Councillor stated there was no necessity to go rounding up cattle in llariliari district as they were all over the place. F.veu the northern district has the cattle nui-sen-e as Councillor staled he had counted :!7 head of cattle between Wainihiiiihi and Stafford. The Council resolved that the Roadmen were to notify any cattle found wandering, that came under their notice in the course of their employment.

“The price of safety is eternal vigilance.'' The l eal Borough Councillors --or most i ! them—lived up to this statement by setting out at C o'clock this morning on an investigation of a pel tio.ii of the wrtvr supply pipe line at the back n! Kaniori. Several lengths of pipes were found to he exposed along a line of root-, used as a. cattle track, while at- a creek crossing a section of the pipe lore was in a. dangerous position. The member? conferred on t'e spot, and it was decided to laiso the pipe line at the creek crossing and put in a new length of line, about 5b feet over nil. The exposed portions of the .ine of pipes are to he attended to. and enquiry is to be made in regard to fruitable clamps to be put on the pipes were the binding wire is showing decay. In that way the life of the pipe will be preserved. There are said to be further sections ahead in need of similar treatment. and the f’uhlic Works Committee was authorised to have the requisite work carried out. without delay. “NAZOL” knows no rivals—the only safe, certain remedy for colds, cough; and infiu«n?-> ; CO dose; for H 5«1
