The estimates of Merton Borough Council are published, and notice is given of the striking of a rata on page 4. The largest building in Miramar, owned by E. O, Peers, and occupied by James Patterson, storekeeper, was destroyed by firs last night. A strong southerly wind was blowing and only a few'articles of furniture were saved. A party of sportsmen who were out shooting game near the coast south of Hawera on Saturday night, saw continuous discharge of rockets out at sea from 7 to 10 o'clock that evening, and again at 5 cu Sunday morning. The party think the rockets proceeded from a ship in distress Mr Carl Weingott, pianoforte tuner of Auckland, Isas been kept busily engaged since his arrival in Marten last week. Whilst thanking ghis many friends for their snpport he proposes making a personal canvas of the town as scon as the tuning * orders in hand are completed.—Advc. A special meeting of Martoa Borough Council was held last evening, the Mayor presiding over a fu!L meeting. The estimates as recommended by “the Finance Oommilte© were dealt with aud adopted without alteration. The Clerk* stated no charge would be made for extraordinary water supply during the timet the water had been cat off. Three petitions Were iec«U’«sd asking for new work—a footpath to the Foresters’ Hall, and one in Bowen Street, and for a watercourse to be made near Mr Go’Te’s factory, Wellington Road. Those requests were referred to a Works Committee.— The Mayor reported the snpply of water to the railway was working satisfactorily; in fact, they wexa getting too much, the Department not having sufficient ‘storage at present. Compulsory military training does not suit Or. Lyon and he threatens to give Mr McNsba lively time if he comes to Marton. The deputation from the Debating Society (Messrs O. B Collius and H. Y. Cameron) asked the Borongh Connell to invito Mr McNab to Marton and to grant him free use of the Hall. According to Cr. Lyon this is an outrageous proposal as political questions abonld not be allowed to enter the Council. The Mayor stated it was no party question, and Mr MoNab’s visit should be of interest to residents. Or. Lyon ridiculed the hysterical war scare which was affecting tbeir relationships with their German friends in New Zealand. In their own district they had many highly respected German friends who would be driven away if this sort of thing was going to continue. Feilding went thoroughly out of its course in this matter, and the same remark applied to Rangitikei County Council for passing a resolution about Dreadnoughts.—Th© Council resolved to allow free use of the Hall if Mr McNub wished to give a lecture in Marton, but lb© Council would not themselves invito him. Or. Lyon said he would ask for a similar concession to ccrabas Mr McNab and he would make Mr McNab feel the • pinch of the conscription sorew. BEWARE! Mr Th. Holdernes:s, Dappil, Qu., who was supplied by a Maryborough grocer with a substitute of th© GENUINE SANDER SONS* EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, writes:— “Back it will go like a shot, I have been using your Extract myself and family, aud giving it all to my friends for over forty years aud non© other will suit me. I have lived to re-echo the words of my mother, who derived so much benefit from your Extract that she would end her days cheerfully by praising aud advertising it, and, being here, so to say* in the bush, I will not star d by knowing the real value and good of your Extract, AND SUBMIT, TO THIS.” We are now publishing th© result of analysis of this substitute, which proved to bs the common, crude eucalyptus oil, around leaoh bottle of the GENUINE SANDER. EXTRACT. Do not fall to read it: you will then beware of sue unscrupulous imposition. SANDER SONS, BENDIGO. VIO. •For Infl'' o take Woods’ Great Peppermint- Our©. Never fails, Cd an: 2; Bi*.
