WAITARA NEWS

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Mr. McConnell, conductor of the Waitara Municipal Band, and several other members of the band 'waited on the Borough Council at its last meeting with a view of isecuring a. suitable piece of land for the purpose of erecting a band rotunda. Mr. McConnell stated that it was the members' intention to form a working bee, and they would do the erecting of the rotunda themselves. He thought that the site where the old Library stood would make an ideal spot. The members of the Council were unanimous in granting the request.
