Tho .silting of thu Maghtrute'tt Court) Ihih morning picsulud over by Mr. j \\ . It. lluhoidi.il, .S..M Mmy Murphy: w.us convicted of having behaved in a disorderly manner ■while dnm.h., and was di>ch,uj»i-d. l«'i\o liiht-otienee diunkards uoio dealt with. Fiederick Lyno!»s was lined ss, iv default 24 hours', and Kate Uymo 20s, in delimit 14 duys' imprisonment, fur drunkunnens. William Joseph Preston, elnuged witJi failing to provide for tho maintenance of his illegitimate child at Dunedin, was romanded to appear at Duncdm on Tuesday, bail being allowed in one surety of £20. John O'Neill, an old man, appeared on remand in answer to the "idle and disorderly" charge, having no visible lawful means of support. His Worship said accused had refused to stay in the Ohiro Home, and asked accused whnt was to be done with him. Accused's reply was unintelligible. Ho waa remanded to appear with two other vagrants on Friday. One of the departures to be suggested afc the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce next week is the setting up of a sectional committee of the Chamber to deal with matters connected with the dairy ftade. If the experiment is satisfactory, it is expected that thf principle will be extended to other branches of commerce, so us to place the advantages of specialisation and expert advice at the Chamber's disposal. In furnishing the official figures for the export trado of the colony and of Wellington, tho Chamber of Commerce reports that for the colony the main fall-ing-off is thai of over £1,100,000 in wool, but it is generally considered that in both 1900-1901 and in 1899-1900 the final .realisation of our exports of this staple fell considerably short of even the export valuations. The averages of declared values were 6.44 d per Ib for 1900--1901, B.lUd foi 1899-1900, and a shade over 7d for 1898-1899. Both the former were rcgaided us in excess of realisations. The discrepancy between realisations and export valuations is "one for which tho Customs authorities cannot fairly bo held responsible, but it is to bo hoped that the new system, inaugurated at the suggestion of the conference vf Chambers of Commerce, will result in a greater approach to accuracy in the statistics of the colony." The Builders' and Contractors' Union of Employers has cited the Wellington Branch of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters' nnd Joiners' to appear before the Conciliation Board for a settlement of the dispute between them. On 11th March tho employers requested the union I to sign an agreement to abide by the Ari bitration Court's award in this trade, for a further term of years, with tho exception of a slight alteration in the first clause. This award expired on 2Ut January last. The parties having failed to adjust the dispute, the Clerk of Awards has referred tho matter to the Board of Conciliation, which will sit to deal with it at 10.30 a.m. on Monday, 2lst j inst. "In your article on street nuisances," (writes "Cyclist)" you make no mention of the annoyance caused to cyclists by a regular practice of our shopkeepers in dumping their packing-cases on the only track that cyclists can get along, and leaving their tacks and nails on the side- j way for them to pick up in their tires. " The second quarter of the Wellington Technical School is to begin on the 18th. inst. Tho bookkeeping classe* have now been divided into three sections, thus relieving the pressure upou the larger class and enabling Mr. Clarke to give more individual attention to th» students. These classes have mot with considerable success and havo been keenly appreciated by a large number of students. Classes are also held in subject* required for matriculation and Civil Service examinations, a special course of work being arranged to suit candidates in these particular branches. The machine construction, building construction and art sections of work have been considerably strengthened by additional apparatus and material. Practical .classes are held in electric lighting, plumbing, carving in wood and stone, modelling, carpentry, and the various art crafts. The syllabus of the school will well repay perusal. At a special meeting of the Petone Borough Council held this week a motion to the effect that the Council rescinds the resolution as to water supply for Petone, passed at a special meeting on sr'd February, 1902, and that tho question of water supply be re-opened at a meeting to be called on the 9th April, was carried, and it was then re- ! solved that the necessary steps be taken at once in order to secure the Korokoro ! stream. It was decided to cancel tho contract with Messrs. Duthie and Co. for additional, water pipes which had been ordered for Belmont supply. !
