The Ashburton County Council made a blunder by striking a rate of only Jd during the slump,” said a member at a meeting at Eiffeltin. “This put Hie council behind in its repair work,” he continued. “In one year of the slump £10,400 was spent, and only £O,OOO collected in rates. The council was then in debt to the hank to the extent of £3,300. The leeway has been made up steadily, and the council is now in the happy position of having a credit balance of £4,300.”
The ipicslion as to where motor number plates should be manufactured is on (lie road to a settlement, for efforts, backed by Hie Government, arc being made to have future supplies made in New Zealand, instead of being imported from America.

Provided tin* right kind of plate ean be made at a reasonable i osl to owners of motor vehicles, he >ays the Government certainly desires that plates should ho made in the Dominion. Mr Bollard eommends the expeditious manner in which the registration of cars has been carried out by the authorities no to the present.
Unless all signs fail. New Zealand tobacco is destined to become famous flu* world over for its excellent smoking qualities. Take wildfire has the local product spread over all parts of the Dominion, capturing the trade wherever il made its appearance. Tt is thus evident that the New Zealand article must possess certain virtues which makes it superior |o the foreign tobacco, and not the least is its small contents of nicotine. This fact would particularly recommend it to the smoker who studies his health, because New Zealand tobacco, even if smoked excessively, does not affect his heart or nerves, and leaves the mouth sweet and clean. But what is equally important, the tobacco is now being subjected to a toasting process, and is a result its aroma lias been improved —no bite, no soppiness, often so objectionable in the foreign brands. Try Kiverliead Gold if you like a very mild and aromatic quality, or Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog) of medium strength, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullhead label) if you prefer a full body.— Advt.
