Manawatu Herald, 11 February 1905, Page 2

Constable Whitehouse arrived in town last night from Feilding, and commences duty immediately. Jonson & Son have the Masonic Hall well in hand, and the building should be completed in good time. The Foxton Borough Council meeting on Monday night should be well attended as business is important.

At the Hawera swimming meeting, Moore Hunter won the five district championships, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 vards.

Further charges were brought against Archibald and Sinclair yesterday at Palmerston North in connection with the U.F.C.A. defalcations. At the last Manawatu County meeting, the tender of Tippler Bros., at 8s 4d per yard, was accepted for Elkins-Motuiti and Foxton Shannon roads.

Messrs Loughnan, Nathan and Mathers, of Palmerston North, were the purchasers of the flax propertty at Waikato, recently sold by Messrs Mitchell and Walsh. Rather a vulgar, though curious, advertisement appears on a placard, outside one ot our business premises to-day. The firm in question signalise their departure from our midst in the following terms Farewell Foxton. —The Last Kick.” A serious assault took place in the Central Hotel at Woodville on Wednesday evening. A swagger entered the kitchen, and the landlord, Mr Bottomley, ordered him out. The swagger refused to go, and when the landlord tried to eject him the man turned round and struck him in the face with the lid of a billy, inflicting a serious gash. Mr Bottomley closed with the man, but after a struggle the swagger got away. The police arrested him at four o’clock on the main road. He had two bottles of beer, which it is presumed he had stolen from the Mayor’s residence, as a robbery took place there early that morning. The man was brought before the Court next day and remanded till Tuesday, Mr Bottomley’s injuries being too serious to permit of bis attendance.

The Foxton Borough Band have a good programme of music selected for their open-air performance at the Park to-morrow afternoon, and they should attract a large number of listeners. The s.s. Kiripaka, bound from Puponga with a cargo of coal, stuck on the local bar yesterday morning on the North spit. So far she has not been able to extricate herself.

Mr E. A. Coley invites tenders for the erection of an eight-roomed house, with verandah. Also for chimney building, plumbing, painting and paper-hanging in connection with the same building. Plans and specifications can be seen at Mr Moore’s Office up to the 18th February. It looks as if there will be no Sports meeting at Foxton on St. Patrick’s Day. However, the Committee appointed to go into the matter failed to find a quorum last night, in consequence of # which business was adjourned. The Borough Council hold a special meeting on Monday evening at 7.30 to make a special order applying fof additional lo'per cent on £3OOO loan to complete the roads. Also to strike a rate to secure repayment of said £3OO.

Dress Linens, Skirts, Hats Galore, Men’s Suits, Ladies Corsets, Dress Materials, &c., &c. R. W; Dyer, S.M., at Kaiapoi, is to take tip the diities of sedoild nlaglsti'dtd (n Auckland. Mr R. J.

A mob of four thousand lambs have gone to the Motoa estate, having been purchased by Messrs Easton . and Austin front Mr J. W. Bowen ajtd the Woodlands Estate, Rangitikei. The sale was negotiated through the agency of Messrs Dalgety and Co. The lambs are to be shorn at the Motoa woolshed.

Mr De Ridder, of Roxton, claims to have invented a well which will more than supply a town three times the size of ours with a never failing stream ot water, both for flre*extingaishing and household use. Mr De Ridder is not likely to give the show away, pre ; furring not to replenish the pockets of othefs by the aid of his own brains. So, if our City Fathers want to be “ let into the know ” they will have to meet the inventor with a pecuniary gift. An important judgment was delivred by Mr Stanford) S.Mij at Martoni A claim was made Under section s of the Rating Act, 1895, against the Borough Council for a refund ot half the rates. The circumstances under which the claim was made were that the plaintiff owned business premises which were pulled down during the period of rebuilding. The claim for refund of rates was made as there was no building on the land, and it was the building and the land, and not the land by itself, on which the building stood that were liable to rates, An owner would not be entitled to a refund of half the rates if his buildings were destroyed by fire, a fortiori when the demolition of a building is voluntary and with the object of increasing a business the section cannot be held to apply. It was doubtful whether the word “ unoccu-; pied ” could apply to the case at all. The premises could not, the Magistrate ruled, be said to have passed altogether out of the plaintiff’s occupation. For instance, he had the right to prosecute a trespasser although given a builder’s partial occupation tor a specific purpose. Judgment went for the defendant Council. The Magistrate said he was not aware of any other case having been brought in the colony under this section and the question was of considerable importance to local bodies.

In addressing the “ Lost Tribe " at Murchison, Mr Seddon said the gathering was unique, and they could hardly help taking a retrospect. To the younger, he said, imagine some of the older inhabitants, years ago, as they were digging the glittering gold about those gullies! In their highest flights of fancy they could not have pictured such a scene as that before him with the youth and beauty of the district looking on in interest, for in the days he pictured there were neither youngsters nor women. He was only sorry that like some oj them he was getting a bit old. Looking to the right, he said, he saw the remains of the old bridge which reminded him that time was doing its work, and he was only sorry that they could not all get renewed like the bridge. Governments could do much, but they could not re new age. It was necessary for another bridge to be built, and he had come a long way to open it, but in addition, he was renewing old associations, which was pleasureable in the extreme. What good was life, he asked, if they did not enjoy it, and one of Us greatest enjoyments was the meeting of old friends, renewing memories of the past, and looking forward- to meet again where there would be no bridges.

“Squalls" appear to be the rule with Wairarapa public bodies. The Carterton School Committee are the latest in trouble. From papers to hand .it appears articles were published in the Wairarapa Leader making charges detrimental to the teachers and committee. This roused the committee, who invited the editor of the Leader to attend a meeting to substantiate his charges. Mr J. T. M. Hornsby (Leader staff) attended the meeting, but did not make it clear whether he was the editor or not. The committee made things rather warm for the Leader editor, but could not really find out who he was. The Leader representatives present did not feel disposed to open their lips on the subject, and after a little unpleasantness between the ex-M.H.R., and the Committee, the meeting adjourned, when it is hoped the mystery will be solved as to “ Who-the Editor of the Leader really is.” What with Carter.on School Committee matters, and also some cleverly-written paragraphs bordering strongly on fabrication, the Leader is becoming notorious oi late.

A rather curious form of advertisement is causing a large amount of at* traction in Main Street to-day. It is displayed on the cover of a prize bull* dog, belonging to Mr Tom Richards, who advises everybody to “ Ride Clarkson’s Cycles. 1 ' As a matter of fact, Manchester House is at present well stocked with this firm’s wheels, and a call may prove of pecuniary benefit to those in search of a good set of wheels.

Thomas J. Ross, a police constable, was brought before the Magistrate at Dunedin on Thursday and charged with perjury in connection with a charge of disorderly behaviour heard on Monday last against Robert Jas. Allan, now prosecutor. On the application of Mr Solomon, for the defence, the case was remanded to be heard before Mr Widdowson, S.M., on Tuesday.
