MORRINSVILLE AFFAIRS i Although the settlers or Taluanui were. ; a nee that cattle-holding yards would be | erected at the station, and the timber lms ■ been on the ground for some time, no ; start has yet been made with building them. Overtures are being made regarding the long delay. The steel truss bridge on the I’aero: - Taliuna Road was completed this week. The dredge, which was working on the canal, is now working its way to I’iak-*. which river it is expected to reach in about a month's time. The dam will then be opened, and the. canal ready to take the water. A letter to the Plako County Council on Monday drawing attention to the alleged ragwort menace on Starkey's Road lias roused indignation among farmers of that locality. The Sun correspondent is informed by the settlers that, although there is no doubt plenty of ragwort about, the writer of the letter has mistaken the road. Gratification is felt at three Morrinsville High School pupils passing the national scholarship examinations. These were Fred B. AVhitechurch, Clara A. Wyatt and Arnaud Mortimer Young. At Thursday’s meeting of the Morrinsville Borough Council it was decided to make a donation of £ls toward the jexpenses of six firemen who are competing at the annual demonstration at Hokitika. The Morrinsville Post Office has been raised .a grade, and Mr. J. Y. Cameron, formerly of Tauranga, has been appointed postmaster. Owing to the increase in work at the office, Mr. C. Bint, who has been a relieving officer, will also be appointed permanently. Complaints have been made of late regarding tlie discolouration of the town water-supply. At Thursday's meeting of the Borough Council the matter was discussed, and the engineer said he could not account for it. The Works Committee and engineer are to make an investigation of the watershed. TAURANGA TOPICS The committee of the Tauranga A. and P. Association is working hard to make the annual show a success. This is the first time a two-days’ show’ will be held. Not only are the various exhibit sections being attended to. but an excellent programme of entertainment events lias been prepared. It is intended to have a “smoko” for the judges. The Railway Department is issuing excursion fares both ways, and it is ex-
