Shaw, county engineer. ■Councillor Leopold, who was presented by the chairman, on behalf of the members of the council, with a smoker’s outfit, feelingly acknowledged the tributes, and saidL that almost the biggest wrench he would experience in leaving the district would be in severing the pleasant and' amicable relations he had enjoyed with fellow councillors and county officials during the years he had been representative of the Waihi riding.
