RIWAKA ROAD BOARD.

The ordinary monthly meeting of the above Board was held on Friday last. Present: —Messrs Bate '(chairman), Gook, Woolf, James, Fry and Drum iuond. Minutes of previous meeting read and confirmed. The chairman reported that the committee had met, as arranged, and inspected the Swamp road. Mr Bate reported that they decided to call for tenders for cleaning out the ditch; also that Mr Albert Askew had cut the fence on his side of the road. A communication was read from Mr Hursthouse, Chief Engineer of Roads, asking for a list of amounts required for works during the year 1902-3, which must be sent m by 24th May. It was decided to make application, as follows : —.£200 for metalling in Riwaka and LI 00 for extension ; LI 50 for Brooklyn Valley cart road extension and LI 00 for Brooklyn Valley bridle tract extension ; total L 550. Accounts, as presented, were passed for payment. Only one tender was received for cutting the channel at the outlet of Sydney creek. After discussion, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr Drummond, seconded by Mr Fry, that the acceptance of tenders be postponed till the 10th instant, members to meet on the ground at one o’clock, to inspect the creek. This concluded the business.

Bullocks were sold at Melbourne a fortnight ago up to £2O per head, a pen of eight averaging £l7. These prices are said to be the highest recorded for the summer months. A New Plymouth press wii e says : The statement of the fund raised for the relief of the widow and orphans of Mr Nyhane, the driver killed on the railway recently, shows the total receipts to be £174 17s 6d. The committee decided to consult the Mayor of Petone, where the widow has gone to live, as to the disposal of the funds. ' They are telling this story of the absent Premier in the Wellington Clubs. There had been an argument as to Mr Seddon’s nationality. One man insisted that he was Scotch, “and I will tell you why,” he said. When he travels up and down the Coast he sometimes gives the stewards of the vessel a tip of a shilling or so, but they have to sign an acknowledgement of the gratuity, and that goes on to the Treasury for refund to the head of the Government as expenses extraordinary.” That settled the argument. Authentic Medical Opinions worth knowing. —Dr Osborne says—‘T use Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract as a spray for nasal catarrh, low fever, as.hma, etc., with great success. 1 find this preparation superior to all others.”—Dr Stahl :‘T have used various preparations of Eucalyptus, but I get better results from Sander any Sons Eucalypti Extract than from and others.” —Dr Preston: “I never use any Eucalyptus preparation other than Sander and Sons, as I tound the others to be almost useless.”—Dr Hart: “It goes without saying that Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.”—ln inliuenza, all fevers, throat and lung troubled diphtheria, diarrhcEa, dysentry, kidney < >mplaints, rheumatism, wounds, sprains, leers, etc., it is invaluable.
