District News
WAIKOKOWAI. (Own Correspondent.) Last week, Mr Jamieson’s bush-felling contract of 60 or 70 acres was finished. Messrs Jamieson and McKinnon, after much bother through the changeable weather have managed to finish their shearing. Mrs J. Phynn is at present staying with her mother on a visit. Two more suppliers have commenced sending their cream to the factory. Mr Dixon of the Waikato Dairy Co. paid a visit to the district last week, and was very favourably impressed \yith the prospects from a dairying point of view. Some of the settlers have been threatened with legal proceedings for not paying their rates to the Waikato River Board, and they are entering a strong protest against the payment of what they consider to be a most unjust rate, as the River Scheme does not in any way effect them. The Waikokowai and Rotongaro Post Offices were opened on Oct. 29th, one of the long felt wants of the district being thus filled. Quite a number of private wires being erected, and it is likely that soon the whole district will be connected up.
