A record was put up by the Stratford County Council to-day, in that the councillors got through the business before the luncheon adjournment. At halfpast twelve, the usual time for th c adjournment, the council found itself at a dead end, having completed its business. The councillors looked at each other ill dismay, and one member timidly suggested that there was no need to come back after lunch. "But it all seems so strange; have we no business we can do this afternoon!" aswd another member. No further business could be discovered, however, and the Council distinguished itself by closing down earlier than it has done for many months past. Mr. H. A. Arthur, chief clerk to the Public Works Department at Stratford, has been promoted to inspector for the Wellington district, and will leave to take up his-aiew duties next month.
