PAHIATUA NOTES.

(From Oar Own Correspondent.) At the County election nt Manga« taiuako on Saturday Mr P. J . Murphy m returned at the head oi the poll for the Pukimiku Biding, beating Messrs Scdcoh, Cade and King. Mr Murphy's return came somewhat of* surprise, One or two of the other candidates were expeoted to have a better chance for the teat. After many lengthly discussions . 1 and much newspaper controversy, the Pahiatua Borough Council have de> I oided the site at the end of Mungahao I road the most eligible one for the I bridge over the Mangatainoko. | The Pahiatua Jockey Club met on \i Friday evening, and nothing daunted |- by .tlie recent refusal.of the Motropoli- 1 tan Club to pass the progamroe, do- < eided to send another deputation to Wellington shortly to interview the racing powers that be, and if this were favourably received, the programme will be issued with a view to holding races in November. j The weatlior for thepastweek com- |{ paied with previous weeks has been delightful and we having experienced cold nights and bright for a whole week. The bridges between buna arc getting very unsafe for heavy traffic, In a previous letter I warned the North County' Council about a culvert near Hawera, and since then a small bridge has partly collapsed on the main road, and in the Pahiatua County, uiuohincon* vemenco is being caused to teamsters' by the delay in making ropairs.
