The total expenditure by the Lands Drainage Department during the past financial year was £42,45S Os 4d, of which day labour accounted for £23,096 19s 6d and piecework contracts £2lll 6s Id. A special treat is provided readers off the “N.Z. Sporting and Dramatic Review” in the current week’s issue with the latest topical happenings illustrated in the magnificent manner that marks every issue of this popular paper. The colour section, printed by the offset method, has a striking beach study as a frontispiece, a page of sports fashions, and lovely studies of the Duchess of York and Norma Talmadge. The centre pages have some very attractive views of overseas functions. Nearer home, we have an excellent series of prints of the Pakuranga Hunt Club’s final meeting of the season and the Avondale Jockey Club’s spring meeting is covered in graphic photographs of the racing. Stage and screen pages display some choice photographs that will make a universal appeal.
