The members of the council intend taking a trip on Tuesdays next to inspect several different kinds of road' and gain what information they can as to cost, etc. The probability is that a start of Mary street and a part of Rattenbury street, both of which were in a ter- rible state this spring, will be treat- ed this year as a start. The council seems to be firmly and unanimously of the opinion that enough money has been wasted in gravel and some- thing more permanent Faust be com- menced. SUCCESSFUL BANQUET The.

This permit ex- ired on Friday last and the work is eing carried on this week by ' the men. If the rush eontinues a new emit will be asked for. The girls o not ,object to the overtime work, is that much extra pay, which omes in handy, but the government eeps a fatherly eye on the female ID • and doesn't want them over - i orked. The Minster of Labor, is - nes the permits. . The Knitting Company is also bu- oying the grounds aleout the fac- ry, making them • m�oa'e attractive, e clearing and sodding of the plot djoining the factory being a big ntprovement.

Leppington has a fine little place at the edge of the town and he always keeps some fowl and animal:about him. Yesterday he tohl The News -Record that he had a pair of gee -se which had up to date this spring laid seventy-six eggs, This is considered a record, for as a rule a goose only lays a setting then sits down on them. Mr. Leppington in- tended. setting both these but up tc the pesent they have been too busy laying. Wonder if anyone else has ever had a goose which laid over three dozen eggs at a stretch.
