The County Officer
i DECAUSE a man lives on the Hau-- [ *-*■- raki. Plains is no earthly reason '. why you should imagine that he might be a flat! If you tried to elude i payment of a perfectly good and proper : rate demand from Ernest Mahoney, county clerk of ..Ngatea, you'd probably l find him quite sharp. But there would be no sting with.it. [' Mahoney is a courteous and capable . county officer who is able to relieve a ) ratepayer of his tithes : by ; his own , copyright . painless process. And he 1 could write an interesting little brochure on the management and ' handling of obdurate rural councillors. | Oh, yes! It can be done! [ E.M. spent school-days and early youth m Milton (Otago) where rigorous ' spine-searching -winters failed to subdue the spirit of unquenchable youth. Ngatea and the Plains hope that, his •stay .with them will be long and contented.
