A deputation from tlie Trades nnd Labour Council waited on the City Council to-night to protest ngainut tho importation of a ste.um engine and plant for the electric trains. The" Mayor explained that there wns no need for apprehension. ' What the Council thought of getting was a second-hand plant till water power was available, and as a standby. If a secondhand plant could not be g&t they had cabled to tho Engineer to ascertain if the boilers of a new plant could not be made in Dunedin. Owing to tho .slate of the links through rain which had fallen, there was no play to-day in the Indies' golf tournament. This Day.
