MULLEWA.
The monthly meeting of the Mullewa
Roads Board was held under the chair-
manship of Mr. Victor Doney, and at the
commencement a vote of condolence and
sympathy was passed with the parents of
the late Mr. C. E. M. Puckle, a former
member of the board, who was recently
killed at the Dardanelles. Mr. L. H. Dar-
lot wrote that as soon as he obtained an
up-to-date map of the townsite he
would bring before tho Commissioner of
Railways the question of new trucking
yards. In response to an inquiry from the
Lands Department, the board expressed its
acquiescence in a curtailment of reserve
2501 in order to permit of the extension
of the school site, provided the Education
Department would make provision for the
segregation of native and half-caste scho-
lars, who, it was stated, are at present
allowed to mingle with the other scholars
to the detriment of the latter. A. letter
was received from the Secretary to the
Railways stating that the Commissioner had
agreed to thc name of Onteroo Siding being
changed to Kockatea. Tho committee ap-
pointed to consider the proposed deviation

ct Use north road between Wondonooka
and Mullewa reported that it would cost
approximately £130. It was decided io al
low the matter to remain in abeyance
pending the consideration of the whole of
the north road requirements after inspec-
tion. It was decided to again urge the
Commissioner of Railways to expedite thc
construction of the level crossing between
Waldeck and Monger streets, Mullewa, as
in the course of a week or two it would
be required to enable farmers, to ' cart
their produce. The chairman tendered his
resignation as chairman and a incuber

for the east ward, as he bas been accepted j
for service at the front, and thanked the
members for their support during the two
years he had been chairman. The mem-

bers expressed their regret at losing his
services and hoped the war would have
a speedy termination and that Mr. Doney
would return safe and sound to resume

his pub'ic work, which was of great value

to the district.
