ASHBURTON CHEESE AND BUTTER FACTORY.

A meeting of the Provisional Directors of the ’Ashburton Cheese and Butter F&ctory was held last evening at the Upper. Chamber of the Town HalL There‘was a good attendance’, Mr_ T. Bullock occupying the chair. Mr Fried lander was unavoidably absent,' but an apology was made for him, and it was stated that he had received promises of support from several influential residents in the district. If was estimated that about 200 shares in the factory had already been taken up, or rather that promises to that extent had been made, and there is not the slighest doubt that the whole of the 1,000 shares will go off with .satisfactory rapidity. The wish of the Directors appeared to be that the shares should not be monopolised by the few, but that the benefits derivable from the concern ; should be made as general as possible;.’ It was decided to accept Mr Bbwron , 's offer to lecture for one week :at the principal centres throughout the dis trict on the advantages of the factory system. His tour will commence on the 14th, and the programme was arranged as follows :—Town Hall, Ashburton, 14th; Willowby, Wakanui, and Ashburton Forks on the following days, and the Secretary, and “Messrs John Orr and Jameson were instructed to make the necessary arrangements, and to give the fullest possible publicity to the same. The opinion of the meeting was that no expense should be spared in obtainingfrom America the services of a thoroughly practical and competent manager, as on this the pro pable success of the enterprise largely depended: A letter was read from Mr John Grigg, offering the promoters 25 acres of land opposite the Flemington school on very reasonable terms. This place would form an excellent site, as it in the centre of a large cattle-raising district, from which the promoters have already had the promise of some 250 cows, within that is a short radius of the spot indicated by Mr Grigg. . A general meeting of ; the shareholders will be held in a few days time, at the close of Mr Bowron’s lecturing tour. The Secretary and the Provincial Directors were re quested to accompany' Mr Bowron on hxs travels, and the Secretary and Treasurer will be in attendance to receive applica tions for and deposits on shares at the close of each lecture. It was decided that it be a recommendation to the Directors at the forthcoming general meeting that the number of shares requi site to entitle the holder to a seat on the directorate should be fixed at 10.

INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of the industrial Association took place after the meeting of the Provisional Directors of the Cheese and Butter Factory, Mr Bullock presiding. Mr Braddell*s motion tc advisability of forming a joint stock company of guarantors to assist persons having an invention, and who are debarred from carrying out their ideas for lack of means was fully discussed, but though meeting with some approval it appeared on looking into to be unworkable. A circular was read from Messrs Joubeit and Twopenny, the promoters of several ex hibitions '“in these colonies, re the pro posed exhibition in Christchurch in March next, and making enquiries as to Ash burton exhibits for same. A sub-com mittee was then appointed to canvass the; town for articles suitable for exhibition. In the course of the discussion which followed, it was suggested that it would come within the province 6£ the Associa tion to endeavor to arrange for an Ash burton Court at the exhibition, and some members further suggested that with a view to bringing about so desirable a-consummation the Association should apply for the space : for proposed ■ court and pay the fee for same, as this would probably induce many'persons to become exhibitors who would otherwise not enter tain the thing. This idea did not, how ever, meet with general approval, several objecting that the Association had been (established merely to obtain and dissem-; inate information, and not to spend money. The Secretary and Mr J. Orr expressed themselves to the effect that the Association was of very little practical use. True it had been the means of* doing a good deal of good indirectly, but it gave no. practical result . As far as the dissemination of information went, why the public, if so minded, could easily obtain any information they wanted with out the assistance of the Association at all. It would be perhaps better, therefore, with , a view to reducing expenditure to wind the concern up. With this object the Secretary was instructed to bring up a.- list of all the liabilities in connection with the Association at its next meeting. '

MOUNT SOMERS ROAD BOARD.

The usual monthly meeting of this Board was held at the office, Mount Somers, on Tuesday last. Present—- Messrs Peache (Chairman), W. C. Walker, and P. Tisch. • Mr Corsbie interviewed the Board wltn reference to protective works in Taylor S-- stream, &c. The Board decided they could do nothing further m the matter, and Mr Corsbie upon being requested to pay his promised contribution of Lit) to wards the original protective works, de dined to do so. . . , Mr Tisch requested the Board to metal a portion of the Sawmill road and handed in a cheque for LlO towards the work The Surveyor was instructed to call for tenders; should any extension of the contract be required by Mr Tisch, the cost to be defrayed by him. The Surveyor’s report was read and considered. , It was resolved —“ That the road up Taylor’s stream gorge be cleared of all stones, provided Mr Friedlander and the other parties interested contribute half the cost of the work.” . With regard to fencing the gravel pit near Alford Forest School, it was re solved —“ That the work is considered un necessary for the present. The Surveyor was authorised to put a team on the Ashburton gorge road, to re- . metal the bad places; It was.resolved —“That fresh tenders be called for, the maintenance of fords for twelvemonths.” 'I It ; was resolved — ct That the had place ; referred to in the Surveyor’s report, on . the road leading from Yaletta to Mr W. C. Harper’s he levelled* Shd ' ar ß° stones removed. ” ~ •« The following correspondence was re- r ceivedFrom Mr J Boylere ,unused road near his house. The Glerk was. rected to reply that if Mr Boyle will pay. , into the Board’s credit the sum of Jils_ towards defraying the expenses, the ne v Cessary steps will At onoe be taken,. and;! |tfr Fobks will be requested; the-

Although this office has been in exis tence for a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for ■whichit was established are not sufficiently understood. It is desired to set forth in a cpnpise form information respecting the business which this office,undertakes : 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, moneys to be invested for tbe benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, &c., <frc. 2; The administration of the wills o persons who by appointing the Public Trustee as the : r executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fulfil ment of their wishes,, and to avoid the risk consequent on tbe appointment f private persons as executors, un frequently, though earnestly desirous of acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appointed, and conse quently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to pro tect in costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to in cur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain; the neces sary powers to act. Xn such cases it is the duly of the Public Trustee to ; discharge all legal debts so far as the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. -4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts. 5. The charge of all lands lying waste and unoccupiied of which the owner is un known, or who has been absent from the colony for ten years, having left nc known agent. ; The cost of administering estates is very pmall.
