At the quarterly meeting of the Board of Agriculture the position of the Central Development Kami at Weraroa was carefully considered, and it was decided to recommend to the Government that the farm he sold and the proceeds set apart for the development of the experimental and research work nlf the Department of Agriculture. A misprint in a Dunedin newspaper regarding the terms of the Auckland City Council’s loan of ,€150,003 has apparently raised hopes in the hearts of certain enterprising Dunedin sharebrokers (says the "New Zealand Herald ”). The percentage at which tlm loan was raised was stated at 5J per cent instead of the actual 5$ per cent., and on this basis a firm of Dunedin brokers telegraphed to the Auckland Council offering to lend it £so.oo'' or £IOO.OOO at the same rate in one sum cr by instalments, less 1 per cent, and London exchange. Its terms, the firm stated, were cheaper than borrowing in London. The brokers concerned will no doubt have learned by this time that the terms arranged by the Auckland City Council are not so easily im proved upon as they had imagined.
