PAHIATUA NEWS.

(From Our Resident Reporter). Thursday. The Ballance Dairy Company paid out £2,200 yesterday tor milk supplied to its various creameries dur- | ing the month of May. This amount is considered very good for so late in the season, and speaks well for the district as tar as dairying is concerned. A fair amount of butter is stii; being manufactured at the two buitar factories. The suppliers of the Mac Lean Si roe I; creamery in Wocdville, be'cngir.g to the Dairy Union, held a second meeting to further deal with the question of butter versus -jheese. After the subject had been fully discussed, a vote resulted in favour of butter by a substantial majority. The social in the Konini Hall last evening, in aid of the Hall funds, was a very enjoyable function. All the -nimgements for the social were v '.rr.sfully carried out by the ladies ?i ;v»nini, and they are to ha con-gr.-.iiLaled on their efforts. A splendid s'j-: jsr was provided, and good music f ■.■ was supplied by Mr L. 0, den, Mrs Britland, Mrs \\. Smith, aik the Misses Bis?ett (2), and Stewart playing extras.

Although not quite complete traffic was allowed to go over McParlane's bridge for the first time since the washout occurred this morning. The County Engineer informs me that the four bridges at Ballance will be started about the Ist of July, the unavoidable delay being caused by the mishap to the above mentioned bridge and the Marima bridge. It is intended to push on the work of the Ballance bridges as expediently as possible. The grader was at work to-day in several of the side streets of the Borough.
