Mr. C. H. Spinley, who has been elected Chairman of the Helensville Town Board for he fourth term, has brought about many improvements in the township, including street channelling and other necessary works. He has been secretary to the school committee, page 635 chairman of the library committee, and circuit steward to the Wesleyan church for many years. Being an old English Volunteer and a good shot, he tried to organise a corps at Helensville, but was unable to arouse sufficient enthusiasm to make the movement a success.
