ROAD BOARD - ■- ♦■ ■■ — "Wakaaui. The ordinary monthly meeting of the Wakanui Road Board was held on Saturday, 3rd met., there being present—Measrs P. Stewart (chairman). John Coohrane, A. H Ayrton and Joseph Lloyd. OORRE erONDKNOE The Receiver of Land Revenue wrote, stating that £21 On SA, " thirds,' had been paid ioto the Board's credit.—lt was decided to hold over the expenditure of " thirds " at i present. I Thomas Lmter wrote, asking for time to allow him to finish grubbing gorse on reserve 1413, and asking the Board to give him a guarantee of the reserve for five years at- a rental of £2 per year. Mr Lester was pre sent and urged his application—lt wa* resolved that if Mr Lester clears the reserve t of gorse to the Board's satisfaction by the i 1 end of April, 1900, they wii! favourably con- | sider letting him oooupy the said reserve for j another year at a fair rent. Thomas Cavill also wrote asking for an extension of time for completing grubbing grrse on reserve 1412 —Mr Cavill'B request) was granted in ;eima of his letter.



OVERSEERS REPORT The overseer reported that contract No. 30, shingling, had been completed. The contractor was allowed to take a quantity of shingle out of the School road at the river on conditions that he left the road levelled satisfactorily. As this has cot been done, a sum of 15b, and the penalty for noD-oomple tion of shingling at the time speoifbd, as decided by the Board at their last meeting, has been deducted.—The Clerk was in structed to write to the contractor stating that if t'e road is not satiufttctoiily levelled by the Skh inst., the Board will then c»m p'ete it. Notice, as instructed, has been given to occupiers of certain reserves to complete grubbing gora«\ Some of them had uot com plied with the Board's request, and further consideration of the matter was held over < u;-ti! nex>. meeting*



I find that there ia a considerable quantity of gorae growing on public roads, which if n'-b grubbed out soon will entail oonsiderab'y n ore expense iiuon the occupiera iater on.— Resolved that in the meantime tb© matter be allowed t» stand over.



The cottages on reserve 1420 at present,, are bring in no revenue I believe a foitner Boa'd h*id baea placed in the same positif.n with the rewult that they sold four similar cottages. —Reeoiv-'ri—" That the two cot tages on reserve 1420 be adveriieed for sal by tender, for removal, and that a quantify of b!ue gums on a r perve on the Seafi Id road bealao offered f( r 8»I« by tender. I have been informed by one of iht Cen»nts of Orown land oo the Ashburtoo riverbed, f AoinjK (.'nchrane'a toad, thai, th«y ac ab.iui having their ur-clious fenced, wl.ich if rioue, wiil stop ar.y traffic from getting neivss ihe river unless another rrack is c'fiarfed.~lt was *eft in the C er k's hands to h.tve a rrack cleared wheu-th<> fencing if? c^mmeuccc?.

Theoonfrscor tor No. 3( contract waited upon the Bond anda^ked them to nt^ke him an allowance for stripping a gravel pit.— Ihe Board Bated that they could not et. tertain the p'opotah ACCOUNTS After passing acoouuts amounting to £109 6s Id, the Board adjourned.



k*Y I T ADATIO THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER jURRAT TRIUMP3 CVER S VSYDATIDS", A grateful Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the ifficacy of this treat Herbal K<»m«Hv. Read carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Packingston st., St. Kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Yitadatio Institute, Bourke »t, Sir, —Aa I consider Webbere' Great Herbal Remedy, •• Vitadatio," has been the sold means of saving my life I think the least I can do is to hand you this testimonial, so that others steering the same as myself may know that there is a certain reliable cure fur them in " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The a mpie facts of my on.se are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under thetreatmentof doctors in Fitz oy and St. Kilda, aa well as soma of the beet in Collins street Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they oould give me no relief, let alone core me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I noticed an advertised cure by "Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of th^ patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I would give it a trial, with the result 'that much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids, I continned to vomit these " Hydatida " for some time, but at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the "Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I asm honestly state I have never felt better in the whole of my life. I consider "Webber's Vitadatio" a miraole-worker. I am well-known in Fitzroy, and there are many others just as much astonished at my cure as I am. I shall be pleased to Epouk to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of " Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perfect liberty to make what use you like of this testimonial. 1 may add I am now able to do all my own household work ; a thiDg I have been unable to do for years.—Youra very gratefully, Mrs) CARRIE HOCKING Witneus-G X Kichaidson, 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE.
