Taylor, of Paeroa, for the erection of a bridge .across the Waitakaruru Stream on Mahuta Road was accepted at yesterday’s meeting of the Hauraki Plains County Council. ■Jwing to the disorganisation caused by the lengthy sitting of the Boundaries Commission tlie regular meeting of the Paeroa Borough Council, which was to have been held to-morrow evening, has been postponed until Thursday, April 17.

I enjoy a drink of tea as much as ever I did,” and, with a sly twinkle in his eye, added, "if I had a glass of beer now I would .sooii show you how I would dispose of it*.” Di. Maguire told the man he remembered his ease, quite well when lie wa- in the hospital, and he thought he was a marvel to be looking so well and to be in such good health and spirits.
