This week's Gazelle contains the decision of the Government Contmiswoners with regard to the Shakespeare's Cliff Road inquiry. The Mataiongaoiigo Road Hoard, which has iiirisdiction over tile road, claimed that other adjoining bodies should arsist in putting the clilT and road, 011 which a very 'big slip occurred tjoine time ago, in repair. The work was- estimated to cost £2345. and of this Bum the Horough Council is to pay £3OO, the Kaukatea Road Hoard £250, the Malthaw.hero Hoad Hoard £2OO, and the t.he balance. Considerable comment has Ixvit caused by tin- fact that no intimation of the award had been made to the various local bodies. A young man was killed on .June 19th, near the ililton railway station, Queensland, by a goods train, i When the driver of the train reached Toowong, two miles further on, he informed the stationmastcr that his train had passed over a body of some description, but it was dark at the time and he could make no ervations. A search was institur ted, and the body of a Japanese was found lying near the outside rail. The head, which had apparently rested on the rail, was completely severed from the body. Portions of the hair and skull were found alongthe line for a distance of SO yards. On arrival of the police the body was removed to the morguie, where it was later identified as that of Tabuzo Tobita, a part nor in the firm of Asalu, Asahi and Co., of Jlri.qbane. Deceased had been in bud health lately, and, it is alleged, was somewhat stflangc in his actions.
