Wood-blocking to the value of £3230 is to be alid down in Wellington during the current financial year. This refers to the wood-blocking of Lower Cuba Street, down to the junction of Mercer Street and Jervois Quay. Many overcoats have gone astray in Wellington lately, the owners having in most cases missed from hotels.

The last estate was filed, in October of 1912. Two bankruptcies were registered in Napier last mouth, one being from Waipukurau.
