CAMBRIDGE ROAD BOARD.

Tiik ordinary monthly meeting of the <ibo\e road board Mas held at the Ciiter'on Hotel, on Saturday afternoon. Present :—Messrs Taylor, (chairman), Smith, and Forrest. The business dis pobed of was principally of a formal character.

EXEMPTION FROM RATING. Mr Forrest referred at length to the proposal made by the Cambridge Town Board to the member for the district to the effect that town districts should he exempted from county rating. This was altogether too good to permit to pass ! unnoticed. He did not see why town distt icta should be so exempt. For instance supposing the Tamahere bridge on the main road got washed away or seriously injured in any way, so as to make it impassable for traffic, were the > proposal above referred to given effeot to, the country board would have to bear all the expense and the town which was more concerned than the country would get off free. He would therefore propose that the clerk be instructed to write to the member for the district emphatically protesting against any such exemption, Opening gf Railway.— This matter was entered upon by Mr Forrest, who referred to the great inconvenience which the Government had caused the settlers of the district through the repeated postponements ot the opening of the railway. —The clerk was instructed to communicate the feeling of fche board to the proper authorities, on the matter. Accounts. —A few accounts were passed for payment, and the meeting terminated.

Messrs Stafford and Whltaker hiving &old their Wairakau run and dairy, have instructed Mr J. S. Buctiand to sell at Te Aroha on tte 7th October, 50 dairy cows, 80 empty cow*. 70 yearling steers, young steeis and pure Hereford bulls. Benefactors.— " When a board of eminen physicians and chemists announced t'« discovery that by combining sotne well-known valuable remedies a most wonderful medicine was produced, which would cure such a wide range of diseases that most all other remedies could be dispensed with, many were sceptical,- but proof of its merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the discoverers of thai great} medicine. Hop Bitters, are honoured and blessed bj a,U w Qotrcfecton. Re»4
