Residents of the Borough of Carterton are notified by advertisement that water must not be used through a hose unless a person is in charge of the same. Water may be used for hosing purposes from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. and from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Welcome Rain. After a spell of hot, dry weather, a steady southerly rain set in at 11 o’clock last evening and still continues. Gardens have received a much needed soaking. Although many crops of hay have been cut and have not yet been harvested, the rain will do thousands of pounds worth of good to the pastures.
