    • MR. JOSEPH METZGER


      MR. JOSEPH METZGER , who was for some time a member of the Campbelltown Borough Council, was born at Wurtemburg, Germany, in 1849, and was educated partly in his native land, and partly at Bradford, Yorkshire, England. He was engaged in the pork butchering trade in Bradford for four years, and left Liverpool, in 1872, by the ship 'Milwall' for Melbourne.
      After travelling through Australia, he was engaged by Mr. J. H. Smith, butcher, of Invercargill, and subsequently was in partnership, with Mr. Thomas Maldby for eleven years. Mr. Metzger afterwards built the Bay View Hotel at the Bluff, which he still conducts.
      He was elected as councillor in 1896, and takes a keen interest in all local matters, is a prominent member of the Southland Licensed Victuallers' Association, vicepresident of the Awarua Boating Club, president of the Football Club, member of the Gun and Rifle Clubs, and of the school committee; and was initiated into Freemasonry in Lodge Southern Cross, S.C., Invercargill.
      Mr. Metzger is an ardent yachtsman, and gained the championship at the New Year Regatta held at the Bluff on New Year's Day, in 1898, with his own yacht. [1]
