From Our Resident Reporter. Monday. Mrs James Bayliss, of Rotorua, is at present spending a holiday with her mother. Mrs Burnett, of Belvedere. The South Wairarapa Poultry Association are at present exhibiting their art union prizes in the business premise of Mr T. W. Foster. They are the subject of a good deal of , attention. The Rev. R. Young conducted a Church of England service at ParkVale last evening, the pulpit in St. Mark's Churwch being occupied by the Rev. H. T. Stealey. Messrs C. Lorenzen and J. Ashton lef fcjbere to-day on a month's holiday visit to Rotorua. Atfer the business of the County Council meeting on Saturday, the members visited the locality in reference to the Sussex Road settlers' petition for financial help in inserting groynes for protecting the Waiohine River's northern bank. After viewing the work and the sites ot the intended groynes, the Coucnil considered that the work would not be of any material benefit to them. Therefore it could not assist the settlers in the present work, but any future work they undertook would be gone thoroughly into at the next Council meeting, and probably be subsidised. It was mentioned that the greatest care was necessary in order not to turn the river too 'much, thereby damaging the southern bank.
