The Committee of the local hospital, after many months of expense and inconvenience through the inefficacy of the gas plant in use, has given the local agent, Mr. Godfred Hanscom, an order for a Delco electric plant to run 15 lights. The firm is giving a 12 months’ guarantee of a complete installation. When electricity is once installed, the management and staff will realise the convenience of the same and no doubt, as time advances all other accessories necessary to an up-to-date well-equipped hospital will be added.

Nerrigundah. (From our Correspondent). During the week Nerrigundah was visited by a party of gentlemen from Sydney consisting of Messrs. Bernard, Smith, Frettaway and L. F. Harper, F.G.S., Senior Geological Surveyor of the Department of Mines. …

Mr. Harper spent the day investigating mining propositions in the Belimbla belt of country and made a careful geological examination of several other shows. He favours a bulk crushing from Wilson and Hattley’s property which should be the cause of a revival in the old valley.

Mr. George Warren has been out on the Belimbla road clearing the trees off and made it much better for traffic.
