TE AWAMUTU LIBRARY A deputation from the recently-ap-pointed library committee waited on the Te Awamutu Borough Council with a suggestion that the council appoint one or two representatives to act with the committee, and also for permission for the committee to act as an official library committee. The request was granted. HAMILTON INTERESTS The bad state of the main highway between Taupiri and Ohinewai has led to the Main Highways Board requesting the Waikato County Council to resume control of the road as in the past. At the county meeting yesterday it was decided to reply stating that the county would comply with the request only on condition that the board granted a £3 for £1 subsidy on maintenance work. The difficulty experienced by the Waikato County Council in securing paymert of rates from some of the soldier settlers on the Te Miro soldiers’ settlement block was referred to by a deputation representing those settlers who had paid their rates. The council was urged to press defaulters for payment. The bad condition of the settlement road and of two bridges was also referred to. The clerk, Mr. T. B. Insoll, said there was a considerable sum of unpaid rates outstanding at Te Miro, and if this money was collected a good deal of work could be done in the area. The chairman, Mr. W. Newell, undertook to interview the defaulters personally, and if his interviews were not productive he said he would see that those who had not paid would be sued.
