RATEPAYERS’ MEETING. A meeting* of the Hinuera Farmers’ and Ratepayers’ Association was held last week. It was decided to approach the Railway Department requesting that a responsible officer be sent to Hinuera in | order to make himself personally acquainted with the requirements of the ! residents iie railway station; also to 1“ complain to the district Traffic Man--1 ager, N.Z.R., with regard to the dam aged condition of goods received at the Hinuera station. It was resolved to write the Matairata county Council with regard to the condition of roads near railway crossings. As a result of their pau - city or entire lack of metal and the consequent mud in wet weather, drivers of motor cars experienced so much difficulty in negotiating the approaches that they were very apt- to be unaware of an oncoming engine. This was evidenced by a fatal accident near Matamata comparatively recently. Tt was decided to invite Mr. F. Lye M.P. for the Waikato, in whose constituency a large part of the district lies, to visit Hinuera and give an address. ELECTRICITY.
