[?] Shortage at Taumarunui.
Great difficulty is being experienced by the Taumarunui Borough Council in obtainins necessary labour to carry out repairs in the borough after the flood (states the Taumarunui Press). The works on the flat, stated the mayor at a meeting of the council last week, had now been comi pleted and the staff and labour engaged had not been able so far to ' carry out the necessary repair work at Matapuna. They were now endeavouring to move.on to Matapuna as soon as possible so that the rate.payers in that direction might have their wants attended to. The coun- ' cil had had a number of relief workers on the job, but many of these had gone into camps and no fewer than eighteen unemployed men of Taumarunui had found employment with the Railway Department. It was a happy position to see men obtaining employment, though it had held up the repair work of the council.
