The Town Clerk (Mr P. A. Philips), who bas been interesting himself in the subject of unity amongst al--municipal bodies. • wrote'--to the secretarjp of the New South Wales and South. Australian Associations recently, seeking information' regarding the' position of municipal matters in those colonies on this question. The Secretary -of the New South. Wales Association, replies, stating that at the present _ time there are only two classes of municipal -bodies in that colony, borough councils and municipal districts, both governed by - tbe one Municipal Act, and his Association had the combined object of the bodies named. He was nob aware of tho county councils to which Mr Phillips had referred, but! presumed them to be established by Jaw for some form of local government. He though municipal associations ought to embrace every kind of municipal body, although jhe would exclude, as they did, any self constituted local bodies such as rate board associations. Tho Secretary of the South Australian Association says he is sure combination will work satisfactorily, and will help them to wield a power that will.prove a benefit by protecting and advancing the interests ol local bodies. _ The question of unity amongst all municipal bodies iv his colony waa now under consideration.

Last evening at .the Masonic Hall, Princes-street, a rehearsal for the principals and orchestra who aro taking part in the forthcoming production of the comic opera "Tho Mikado," was held.
