(From Our Own Correspondent.) A petition asking for a poll to be taken on the question of rating on the unimproved value, addressed to the Borough Council, has lately been in circulation here. It has been freely signed by ratepayers, and will, it is understood, be presented to the council at its next meeting on Tuesday, the 10th inst. The euchre party and dance in the Town Hall on Tuesday was a complete success. It was promoted for the purpose of providing trophies to !be fired for by the local territorials, and was carried out by the following committee: Sergeant-Major Henderson, Sergeant Adam (hon. secretary) and Lieu-tenant-Corporal Sutherland and Thomas, Cadet-Sergeant Ross, Cadets Pyne, Roberts and Ross, who may accept congratulation on the very satisfactory result of tneir work. A substantial surplus was realised. Trophies have been promised by Major Leech and Mr. F. Julian, for which the committee owe them hearty thanks. The euchre competition was carried out under Mrs. Evans, who, as usual, gave complete satisfaction. The prizes were won by — ladies: Miss V. Lile 1, Miss Young 2. Gentlemen: Mr. C. Lealand 1, Private Bocock 2. The dancers were cared for by Sergeant Lett as M.C., as they danced to the music provided by Mr. Spurdie’s orchestra.
