The North Otago Tim?s states that on the Mayor annonneiiK that he had received a telegram intimating that the Governor would pass through Oamaru on the 23rd, members of the borough council became jocular. One councillor gravely proposed that the Governor be. allowed to pa-^s. Another suggested that he be entertained and the cost deducted from the Mayor's honorarium.
