ROAD BOARDS.

WAKANUI. ; The annual meeting of the ratepayers of the Wakanui Road D.stricc was held at the Road Board office on Saturday. Mr Peter Stewart, chairman of the 80-rd, presided, and there was a fair attendance of rate payers. AXXUAI. B PORT. The Chairman read the following report : —In making the report of th. Wakanui Road Board for the p_Bt year, I would like to refer to the loss the Board and the district have sustained through the death of the late lamented chairman. During the ten y«ars that Mr Bruce sat on this Board, as member and chairman, he obtained the universal respeot and esteem of the rate payers of the whole district by hi* conscien tious discharge of his duties, and I believe I am.only expressing the feelings of the whole district at the loss w,e have sustained by the death of Mr: 'Bruce at a comparatively early age. About the same time the Board sustained another loss m the resignation of Mr H. A. Mackay, who found it impossible through pressure of private business to devote that time and attention to the duties of member of this Board which he con sidered necessary. In consequence there were only 'three members left. It was thought, however, that these should carry on the work of the Board till the end of the year, so aa to save the expense of aby election. As a matter of fact, we have only had two meetings since these vacanciss occurred, and have only let one contract for shingling at Dromore. We have had the question of renewing the bridges at Elgin ■md Chertsey's road under consideration for some time. As these will involve con siderable expense, about £70 each, we approaohed the County Council with a view to obtaining some assistance towards the work, but they declined to grant any assistance, for reasons which 1 have no donbt you read m the papers at the time. It seems to the Board to be very unjust that two bodies snch as the Council and the mill owners should be able to bring water down the creek at their own sweet will, and without as much as saying ** by your leave " or "with your leave," and not contribute towards the maintenance of these bridges, m fact throwing the whole cost of building and maintaining them on a single section of ratepayers, while the ratepayers of the whole county use them. The question of rebuilding the two bridges I have named must be faced shortly* We have formed 7| miles of roads, and shingled 13_ miles during the year, besides repairing and maintaining the roads throughout the dis trict. I regret the state m which the Beach and Wakanui Roads have been m. This was caused, as you know, through the wet weather and very heavy carting which these roads have had to carry. I cannot conclude this report with out referring to the very able and con scientious manner m which Mr J. A. Poole has discharged his duties during the year, and m this respect I can bear ample testi mony since I have been Chairman. BALANCE-SHEET. The Clerk read the balance-sheet for the year ending March 31, 1896. The Chairman moved that the same be adopted, which was seconded by Mr D. Johnstone and carried. AUDIT. The Chairmnn expressed his opinion that the business of auditing the Board's accounts was conducted m anything but a satisfactory manner, as at present it necessitated the calling of another meeting to pass the audited balance-sheet, but as the present auditor was a Government official no thing could be done unless parliament legislated m the matter. ROAD BOARD YARDS. Mr John Cochrane asked if the Road Board yards were public property. The Chairman replied that they were not, and explained to the meeting that m con sequence of the damage lately done, the Board considered it advisable to close the yards after business hours, viz., from 5 pm. to 8 a.m. WAKANUI CREEK. A long discussion ensued on the question of the Wakanui creek, but the matter was too grave to be dealt with. RESERVES. Mr Hoatten wanted to know if it was legal for the Board to lease reserve 2240 without advertising the same. — It was ex plained to Mr Hoatten that under the circumstances, the action taken by the Board was legal THE LATE CHAIRMAN . Mr M. Wilson proposed that a record of appreciation be placed on the minutes of the meeting of the services of the late chairman. — This was seconded by Mr G. Coe and carried unanimously. THE RETIRING BOARD. Mr John C.chrane proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring board for their services during the past ye_r. Mr John stone seconded, and it was carried unanimously. The Chairman responded, and the meeting adjourned.

It is an excellent preparation, and is not only well- suited for destroying tioke, lice, etc, and for treating " scab," " mange," etc, but also for destroy- ing the spores of the anthrax microbe 'Bacillus anthracis), and preventing the spread of anthrax among flocks of Bheep.

Some of the sheep were very badly affected, nearly the whole of, the foot having rotted off. I should reoommend all sheep owners to use your Specific if their sheep are troubled with Foot-rot, as it is easily put on, and I am sure it will give satisfaction.— l remain, yours truly ALEXANDER MONRO, Inspeotor of Stock, June 22, 1895.

MITCHELL& TUENER. TAMORET) SIRBET The Portable Swing Water Barrow. .-— _ _ . __, Prevention it? Better Than Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the publio journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special . reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five j ears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or tbe poisons which they •secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its wse, a two-fold benefit is derived. Ihe fever and diphtheria breeding agencies «re removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to virions kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes anjabsolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. _.
