GENERAL ITEMS. (From the “Chronicle’s” Special Correspondent). The Hunterville Domain Board has had its last year’s balance-sheet 11 tagged” on account of the fact that the >! Board refunded to the Town Board certain money which it had borrowed. Lt appears that while the Towrf Board is entitled to spend money on the Domain the Domain Board has no power to borrow. A new truck owned by Messrs Franks and Smith was damaged by fire on Thursday evening when coming into • town laden with wool. While going up Chubbin’s Hill the engine backfired and flames broke out, but the 4 damage done was not extensive. ; The Hunterville Town Board has ' decided to notify the Associated Auc- ■ tioneers that it can not issue a license 1 in connection with the sale yards until a convenience has been erected as re- ’ quired by the Health Act.
