The decision of the County Council to tar and sand the main footpaths in Papatoetoe will be much appreciated by the ratepayers. In times past the chipping off of weeds has been a very expensive item and not altogether satisfactory and with shortage of labour it has been impossible to keep all the causeways clean. Consequently during the wet season pedestrians have been put to inconvenience through having to walk through the wet grass. It is expected that the Town Hall will be opened on or about the 26th February. The Road Board has decided that the opening ceremony will take place in the evening when a grand concert will be held. The Board are in hopes that the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. W. F. Massey) will attend and perform the opening ceremony The many friends of Mr A. Hall will be pleased to learn that he is expected home in the course of a few days. He has been suffering for some time past as the result of a painful accident to his eye.
