The lack of an evening train from Te Kuiti to Frankton has been long felt to be a drawback to residents of this portion of the district, and efforts are being made to have a train running between the stations mentioned to arrive at Frankton about 7.30 p.m. At the last meeting of Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce a request was received from the Otorohanga Chamber requesting assistance in securing the service. It was decided to co-operate heartily. At the last meeting of Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce it was decided to ask the engineer for Telegraphs in Auckland if he could extend the telephone line direot to Te Kuiti, taking in Kawa and Otorohanga.

The future of Te Kuiti is assured, and within the next five years these sections (which are freehold) will be worth double the reserve. Mr L. E. Brathwaite will attend the sale and will be pleased to undertake commissions. The Rev. R. Mitchell, who is leaving Te Kuiti to take charge of the Beresford street Church, Auckland, will preach his farewell sermon tomorrow. Mr Mitchell is so wellknown that his name is a household word throughout the district, arid numerous friends will doubtless assemble to hear his parting message.

In replying to the toast of "Local Bodies" at Mr T. William's valedictory function on Wednesday evening, Mr A. Scholes, chairman of the Waitomo County Council, referred to the Local Government Bill, which Parliament proposed to enact. Mr Scholes was of the opinion that the adverse judgment being passed by local bodies was improper for- the reason that they did not yet thoroughly understand the measure. It had to be remembered that the Bill presented for the consideration of local bodies had been the result of mature thought of the Government Bnd law officers for yearß. Statements that had been made by some local bodies were unfair and he thought the opinions had been formed on the spur of the moment. He himßelf had studied the Bill and, after due thought, felt that he could not offer a criticism until he was more informed by having the position thoroughly threshed out.
