After all had done justice to the refreshments a short address on the coming election was given by Mr Stevens. Among other things, he declared he would do all in his power to get the subsidy on the bridge as soon as possible and that he favoured the idea of an overflow channel being made provided that the property rights of the land along the river were respected. At the conclusion of his address a vote of confidence in Mr Stevens Was proposed by Mr F. Carter senr., seconded by Mr Saunders and carried unanimously with cheers.

Votes of thanks were passed to the chairman, to all those who had so kindly assisted in the social and especially to Mrs Morgan and Mr R. Smith who gave the use of the piano and the organ. The whole audience now rose and gave the final touch to a most enjoyable evening by singing God save the King,
