LOCAL AND GENERAL

"Just Thinking" There was an interesting interlude at the monthly xneeting of the Opotiki Borough Council held on Tuesday evening, reports our Opotiki correspondent. A councillor asked the Mayor a question regarding the transfer of the school area to the Borough Council. After waiting anxiously for a reply for an appreciable interval, the councillor asked his Worship wliether he was unable to answer the question as he was "developing a headache" waiting for a reply. His Worship, our correspondent reeords, replied briefly that "he was just thinkitig." No Inquest Necessary. The circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Muriel I. Angell, who was found dead in her house on the

shore of Lake Roto Ehu, on Wednesday evening, have been investigated by the Coroner, Mr. S. L. Paterson, S.M., and he has decided that an inquest will be unnecessary.
