A dispute has arisen between the Wellington City Council and a citizen respecting the rents of certain houses which were recently sold for removal. The citizen in question put in a tender for two .houses and was duly advised that it had been accepted, on which he paid a deposit to "clinch the deal." On the date of delivery he arranged to commence the work of removal, but though one house was empty the other was still in occupation. As the houses were of the semi-detached order, the contractor declined to start work on the one, as it might prove dangerous to the people living in the other. So the tenancy Went on.

Sale, Monday, Karangahape Rd.—(Ad.) '
