County Council Offices, i It is stated on good authority that the Eketahuna County Council has acquired a site in the centre of the town known as Wilson’s Corner, for the purpose of erecting modern offices. Erection of Timber Mill. Mr W. G. Waterreus has commenced erecting a timber mill on a section at Parkville. It had been Mr Waterreus’s intention to erect the mill on his property at Kaiparora, but as there was a danger of sawdust polluting the Eketahuna water supply, the health authorities would not grant Mr Waterreus permission to operate on this site.
