OPOTIKI NEWS
A very successful ball was held at Opotiki on Friday last under the auspices of the Rebekah Lodge. About 90 couples took the floor, and several interesting dancing competitions took ©lace. The hall was very tastefully Ope orated. An outbreak of typhoid fever has occurred in the district, but has not reached serious proportions. There is a good deal of general sickness at the present time, and the trip of the Opotiki Rifle Club to Whakatane to meet a representative team there had to be abandoned. For the same reason, the monthly meeting of the Opotiki branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, which was to have been held on Saturday last, had to be postponed. Recently the borough council decided to continue the work of sealing the main highway through the borough, and in this connection procured a bitumen sprayer for the purpose of undertaking further work. The section in Church Street which has been sealed for some considerable time, is standing up to the traffic in satisfactory manner, and the saving to shopkeepers through the elimination of the dust nuisance amounts to a considerable sum.
