HBH 1890 May 3 Hastings B Council Under yesterday's date held last night. The Borough Council monthly meeting could not be held as the quorum was not reached with only his Worship the Mayor and Crs FOREMAN, LAND, and MURDOCH in attendance. It is my belief that the others went Christie Murraying. The Heretaunga Road Board, held their monthly meeting yesterday Messrs WELLWOOD (Chairman) J H WILLIAMS, COLLISON being present. Letter was received from the returning officer notifying the election of Messrs COLEMAN and J H WILLIAMS. Chairman stated that he had called for tenders for the cartage of shingle by the day and team, and that C FAYMERY'S ? (FARMERY'S) tender at 17s 6d, being the lowest, was accepted. Resolved that £50 be voted towards repairing the Te Aute Road on condition that persons interested in repairing it subscribe another £50 Mr ELLIS J.P reasoned a venerable "drunk" with this morning. After offender pleaded that it was his first offence and that he would be a good boy, was dismissed with a caution.
