NOTES FROM ST. BATHANS.
bmce my lasL y every fcliiag.Jxas been very quiet with us, tlie principal work bein «• the washing up of the channels. The Milage Channel has been indeed washed up, and the dirfc is now being put through boxes. It looks well, and will probably turn out better than expected. A commencement has been 'made to wash uo the old channel, tlie general opinion 1 boiut-y' that it will not pay expenses. J-lie application lately made by tlio irogress Committee, t> have the business sites surveyed and sold, has been referred, to the "Warden. Such an abuse, as is shown by the fact of single storekeepers*in • so ; .<:e cases, paying more for a few year s occupation ot a bit of ground, than any premises might be worth that could be put upon it, should.no longer be tolerated. * ° A school is about to bh established -at Welshman's Gully. The Board have agreed 10 give £SO per year to the teacher s salary. So the youn 0 * ideas, so rapidly developing in that part ot the district, will no longer go uncared for.'
