It is fair to every ratepayer as we thus know no one is shirking his liability, and it is an instance ot the carefulness of the Town Clerk.

In trying tb explain the difference in values obtained for sheep in the South Island to that in the North, a wellknown settler said that though the rent of land may be a little less in Hawke’s Bay than in Canterbury, but the cost of producing artificial feed is considerably greater, and more than balances tha difference in rents. The prices paid for ploughing, etc., and the cost or ar tificial manure are out of all proportion to Canterbury prices. For another thing, the rains in Canterbury make grain-cropping a comparative certainty. A Canterbury man’s eggs are not all in one basket, while a Hawke’s Bay farmer’s are.’’ Mr William JiUett, of Titahi Bay, who had been ill for a considerable period, died at Ohail on Thursday morning.
