THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

r ■ ■ ♦ ■ It is stated that Messrs Heron, Perry, and Gray, intend to run together during the present municipal contest. We trust r for the oredit of all three the rumor is » unfounded. Mr Heron is pledged to a support a loan, and Messrs Perry and f Gray are opposed to one. Under these 9 ciroumßt'ances they cannot work together B . without being disloyal to the ratepayers, B and the public interests whioh i hey i seek I to represent. We should certainly favor ~ the return of Mr Heron if he is consistent in carrying out the convictions on the question of borrowing which he has already expressed. If on the other band he seeks to obtain as colleagues in the ' council' who are manifestly' ' opposed to His ownjeonviotions he will be scarcely worthy'of the. confidence of the ■• ratepayers.•• Personally we have every . respect and esteem for Messrs Ferry and ■ .Gray, ahd;we fully a|mitth»t they have p done good service ' in ' former :■ years for , Masterton, an;important public question ai to ways and means is, however, now i, pending, and-on this.publio ground it is t. impossible for us or for any ratepayer who honestly believes that a borrowing polioy is dtitable, to consistently supportjthem,

The provisional directors of the Tara- > tahi Dairy Company met at the Institute, J Carterton, on Monday, all being present. It was res lived to open an account with ' the Bank of New Zealand, to which all ■ amounts received should pro tern be • passed. The share list was carefully gone through, when it was found that about 1200 had been placed, the necessary det posit having been paid on some 950. It - was res'ilved to call for tenders for site in the three Valley papers, 6 acres freehold and from 10 lo 50 leasehold with right of purchase within a radius of two miles from the Clareville railway station (see advertisement.) Also to send a cable- > gram to Mr C. Phiirazyu to obtain the - services of a compel eut manager for the l Company. A vote of thanks closed the | meeting! soon after one o'clock, Mr 13. N. , Sandilands of Carterton having been uppointed solicitor to the company, The Carterton School Committee met ' lust evening thuie hei.,g only just a bare quorum present. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and ' confirmed, the bunk balance was reported ) at l!l 18s 3d and two small accounts i passed for payment. It was resolved th.it j the Town Board be applied to for payment 5 of £6 5s long owing, and that the chairI man be authorised to procure a cupboard , to contain scientific apparatus obtained at ' a cost not exceeding £l6d, and that, the 1 cost of the apparatus be deducted by the t Board fr in the capitation grant.

Tancred in exchange for the j services of the Premier has secured the i thoroughbred sire Puriri for a season from Mr Mcßae of Wangamii. Puriri ' came overland last week and is now at the 1 service of breeders. He is by Towton ■ from Wairaea, and therefore full brother » in blood to the famous Manuka, and own i brother to the brilliant Papapa, Stand- . ing nearly 16 hands high, with lots of power.all over and good bone, we think he is very likely to become a favorite in ' this district. ' The only case for hearing at the R.M, Court at Featheraton, yesterday, was one ' in which C. W. Keys sued W. McKeever 1 for rates 13s 4d and obtained judgment i for the amount.
