ADVERTISING THE DISTRICT.

EXPANSION AND TOURIST LEAGUE. The usual weekly meeting of the New Plymouth Expansion and Tourist League was held last evening, there being present: Dr. Leatham (in the chair), Messrs. W. Bewlev, E. Whittle, W. A. Collis, J. Cruiekshank, K. C. Webster, T. C. List, S. W. Shaw, and E. Griffiths. The question of instituting a weekend vehicular service to the Mountain was again considered. It was decided to advertise that the League will be prepared to give intending visitors all information regarding the trip and to assist in making up week-end parties.

The canvassing committee were authorised to engage the services of Messrs. R. Sinclair and J. F. Eustace to assist in this work, which is to be recommenced at once.

It was agreed to co-operate with the Mountain House Committee in arranging that the motor car charges to the Mountain should be made inclusive in every case. The Printing Committee was authorised to print an additional 10,000 copies of each of the two illustrated folders and hand them to the Empire Film Company for distribution through New Zealand in connection with the special films of the beauty spots of the district the company is preparing. The committee is to be asked not to proceed with the illustrated booklet meanwhile. It was decided to procure six sets of framed photographs of views for hanging in the Tourist and Cook's bureaux in Wellington, Auckland, and Rotorua. and also at the Mountain House. It is hoped that when the necessary funds are available to get out more framed viewn for the other centres in New Zealand and also Australia.

The complaint of a visitor of being charged more by a hotel at which he stopped than the tariff published in the folders provided was considered, and a committee appointed to interview the hotel proprietor in question, and report to the next meeting.

Accounts were passed and routine bus inesg transacted.
