THEY ARE SAVING.

That a ceitain Pukekobe citizen this week had a night in town. That returning by tne Wild Cat the oscillation of the train lulled him to sleep. That peacefully slumbering he awoke just as the train reached Buckland.

That using Shank'b pony the night was far advanced before he landed back in Pukekohe.

That "you can be buried for £1" was the information supplied by Cr Barter ti the Mayor at the Council meeti g on Wednesday. That all the same Cr Barter did rot intend to tell His Worship that he could go and smother himself.

That nevertheless all the other Councillors recognised that the statement could have the foregoing meaning and laughter was loud. That Cr Barter was simply dealing with cemetery fees and was quoting a place of burial where ratas were low.

That ves'erday's deluge found out Pukekche's weak spots in stormwa'er drainage. That a miniature lake extending ws 11 over the road surrounded the two houses in Manukau road adjoining the Courthouse. 1 hat the occupiers had to wade through the water to reach their d\relllings.

that Cr Charlie Clark has solved the water reduction pressure problem.

That his idea is that construction of filtir beds at a low level will dispense with tho necessity of the faulty pressure valve. That it is fashionable at Pukekohe'a Picture Theatre to place one or both i'-ct upon the seat directly in front so as to leave an impression of the town's mud upon the clothes of its occupant. Thai to be "Tony" it is imperative to critici-e—not in a whisper —the different episodes as depicted on the picture screen. That it is considered "just the thing" to: "gentlemen" to push their way in front of ladies when purchasing tickets for admission to the pictures. That the National Reserve, Territorials and Cadets, with Pukekohe's Bras* Baud in the lead, are to have a Sunday parade in tte immediate future.

That the Harricville read bridge, at Tuakau, i? cohered with a coating oi mud several inches (hick. That tl-e ratepayers are asking for a bath to be provided on each side to wash lt;eir feet.

That Tuakau is now taking quite a Venetian aspect, and all that is now wanting ii lor gondolas to be supplied. That all the pigs within a five mile tEclius of Tuakau are now being kept under lock and key.

That great things happened in connection with the l'uakau gift social. That it took a member of the Town Hoard all his time to blutf the "Man in blue," when questioned as to his authority for commandeering a pig. That the "limb of the law" dealt rather severely with his victim before he recognised him. lhat th2 same individual was "relieved" of a pig off his farm fir ths "cause" while he was out on his rounds after similar "game." That his valuable pony was also commandeered and knocked down to him at the social for £6. that it was another member of the Town Board who made the capture and clipped and pointed the animal beyond recognition. That enough bootees were knocked down to "Albert, the Bachelor" to start a draper s Ehop. That lie ia thinking about "getting up a boms" since ha ib the poascscor of such valuable "bouty."
