RIVER BOARD MEETING SEPARATE AREA FOR RATING. (“Times-Age” Special.) At a meeting of the South Wairarapa River Board held in the Council Chambers, Featherston, there were present: Messrs R. A. Donald (chairman), A. Linton, W. T. Hume and AV. H. Martin. An apology for absence was received from Mr R. W. Matthews. The account at the bank was shown to be in credit to the extent of £531 13s 2d. Accounts amounting to 18s were passed for payment.
