MUNICIPAL HANDBOOK.

just, received Jrc-m ifee* Gov- . ernment. Statistician ~a -popy of .the Municipal (Handbook for 1911. We do hot know what the compilation abd printing of this .book lias cost the country., Ibut we do 'know that its value—if there is any value in it at *ll—lies in its accuracy. Very well. Turning to 9/, we find <a description of tbe Borough of Masterton. We are intei-ested to leArn that the 'yearly, (revenue of the Trust Lands •Trust is over £.2900. (This year's balthe revenue to have been' Jess than"£1800). "The Wel-lingto.n-Wai.rarapa Acclimatisation Society's 'breeding a-nd hatching polids are in' the Borough, and 'prove a great attraction tp visitors." , v (There is no such •= institution, as the .WelßngtonWairarapa Acclimatisation Society, nindj the breeding and.jliato.hmg ponds, •liavhlg ibeeii tpractically aibaindoned, offefi- o attraction to visi tons). - Tit is also news to us that we have a trott--icig imesting, and "poultry and bird shows." As we ©aid before, the value of the 'Hand-book lies in its accuracy. And if the references to other townships are wis laecunate as those relating to IMaster'ton, then it were far better ' that the money expended upon this i work were .employed .in.-metalling some of the roads in the llack-bloeks.
