LATE LOCALS .

A household gift is always apprecif ated and a lovely Axminster and Wilton mg or embroidered tray cloths and table cover, make an ideal present.—Schroder and Co.—Advt. It is understood that following the inspection of the position at Little Wanganui river erosion by•. Mr 11. Sharp, Inspecting Engineer of the Public Works Department, and the survey carried out subsequently to ascertain levels along the banks of the river, a variation in the form of protection to cope with the erosion has been decided upon. Instead of a large groynfe a.s proposed, a lengthy stop-hank has kerti substituted. This will follow the oour,sd of the river bank and ho three height above flood level to preyeui overflow. Protection in this form .will remove any element of danger to.' adjacent property, and so avoid legal complications for prospective eompcnssG tion. The location tor the stop-batik is now being fixed, and it is likely .the work involved will he done by Co% tract. The pile driving proposals haVe now been abandoned.
