Wellington. Mr. Albert Iladfield was appointed to the Birkenhead Fire Board in his stead.

Pictures on Christmas Night.—Permission to screen pictures on Christmas night at the local theatre was grafted.

City Water.—Now that the borough is taking its water supply from the Auckland city, the question arose as to the upkeep of the pumping plant at Lake Ptipuke. A letter from the Citv Council pointed out that it could not undertake this, which

would be equivalent to a variation of clause !) of the agreement in favour of the borough if the city were to maintain an alternative source of supply for the benefit of Birkenhead. The water committee is to consider the matter further.
