GENERAL. A rifle match had been ''arranged for this (Thursday) afternoon, but owing to the unsettled state of the weather it had to be abandoned. The Fire Brigade have disposed of the old fire station, by tender to Mr. 11. Peterson for £l4 10s'. Plans and specifications are being drawn up for the erection of an up-to-date building in wood and iron, tenders for the erection of which are to be shortly called for. At the last Council meeting, permission was secured by the brigade to erect their new station on the old site. This permission has been sought for persistently for a long time, but there was a stumbling block, which has been removed by the untiring efforts of his Worship the Mayor.
