Drainage Board.
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction with the Drainage Board, who lately accepted a tender of £30,0C3 when there was one of over £1600 lower, against which no valid objection has been urged. They have also given a contract of £8000 for drain pipes to an importer, when a local maker tendered 11 per cent, higher, and this was in the face of an expressed intention of the Board to allow about that margin to local manufacturers. A requisition is being Bigned for a public meeting to call upon them to explain. * Railway Compensation Court. A Railway Compensation Court was held to day. The New Zealand and Australian Land Company claimed £870 from the Eakaia and Ashburtou Forks Company for damage to their land, but an, arrangement was arrived at by which the latter were tj make certain cultivations within the six months or pay £529 10s.
