Owing to several vacancies occuring in the Borough Council considerable interest is being manifested as to probable candidates at the Borough Council elections. I understand that Mr. C. Cumming, who was at one time on the council, is to be a candidate. The secretary of the South Taranaki Winter Show states that a good entry has so far been received in the dairy sections.
