HAMILTON THEFTS
TYPEWRITER DISAPPEARS The photographic studio of Miss E. Scherer was th,e scene of two audacious thefts in "Ward Street, Hamilton, this week. On Tuesday a typewriter, valued at 4- 1 8, was missed, while a registered letter was opened at £5 extracted postal notes being left untouched. The thefts were evidently very coolly carried out, as it would have been necessary for the intruder to go behind the counter in the front of the premisses and carry the typew-riter boldly out. Nothing else was taken. HOWICK LOAN DEFERRED FOR PRESENT The Howick Town Board has decided to defer raising a loan for general improvement purposes in the township until information has been received from the Main Highways Board as to whether Howick Main Road is part of the recently-dedicated Pakuranga area. The foreman was instructed to topdress footpaths in Cook Street with scoria, and the Commissioner of Crown Lands will be interviewed regarding the Melton Bay Reserve.
