Were thoue who have not paid thoir rates to pay them at once, without enjoying the luxury of having to be auod, the Board might be able to get moat of the contemplated works finished beFore the wet. weather sets in. The chuirman, Mnjor V N George, read a letter from I lie Chief Postmaster, in answer to one from him, to say that the Postal authorities would give £30 pei annum in aid of a iniiil servicn bet\\ei*ii Hamilton and Waitoa or Piako.
