Cancellations of the Nelson Carpen* •ters, Joiners, and Trade Machinists' CJn^ ion and the Denniston Coal-miners' Un« I ion are gazetted. Last evening the City Council decided "that the due discount day for lighting accounts be adhered to without except tion." It was explained that some cor* respqndence had been received from a' public body in reference to this matter. Nothing definite has been done in re* gard to the proposed acquisition of the Banks meat works as a site for municipal abattoirs, and the City Council, lasfc night, granted its Abattoirs Committee a fortnight's extension of time in which to bring down its recommendations. A request was made to the City Coun« oil, by the Brooklyn Ratepayers' Association, that all cars from Brooklyn should, run right through to the Government railway station, and that tha through fare be twopence. The council has decided that the request cannot ba acceded to at present. Unauthorised advertising is objected' to by the Baths and City Reserves Com* mittee of the City Council, and it has recommended the council to instruct ita officers to serve notices on persons advert Using on the fences of the city reserves, to remove same. The council decided, at its meeting held last, night, to giva effect to the committee's recommends tion. Tho partially heard case of S. Rowa and Sons, Limited, v. the Union Stean* j Ship Company occupied the whole afternoon at the Magistrate's tJourt yesterday. The case is a claim for £75, being the value of a consignment of chaff which went astray between Picton and Wellington through the alleged negligence of defendants. After hearing evidence, an adjournment was made until Monday afternoon. Mr. D. Jackson ap* peared for plaintiffs and Mr. Levi fort defendants. Mr. Weston watched the} case on behalf of the Harbour Board. In order to ensure that the ammunition to be used at the next Trenthara meeting will be of the same character! throughout, Colonel Collins, executive officer of the New Zealand Rifle Association, has arranged with the Colonial Ammunition Company, Auckland, to manufacture a special order of 120,000 rounds for the championship meeting, made np in packets of seven, eight, ten, and eleven rounds as necessary, | and specially marked "Trentham."j This should give competitors every con-« fidence in the class of ammunition they, are using, as during recent years th« ammunition was made up in "the re-, quired packets by the Defence Depart* ment from the ammunition in stock, and the same issue conld not, therefore* fore, be depended upon. Representatives of the Northland Municipal Association waited on the! Mayor (Hqn. T. W. Hislop) yesterday afternoon in regard to section 6 of tho Wellington City Empowering Bill, which provides for the levyiiTg of a drainage rate upon that part of Karori included in the city boundaries. The deputation; urged the claims of the suburb +o a water and drainage scheme. They had no objection to being rated provided they received the benefits of the taxation; but in return they wanted an installation ab a reasonable time. The residents asked' for some sorb of assurance that the needs of the district in the matter of water, and sanitary service would not be postponed indefinitely. In reply, the Mayor said that clause 7 of the Bill showed that money was to be expended for the purposes of drainage in the new parta of the city. The City Engineer would' be consulted as to when these works could be put in hand, and the citizens rest assured no obstacle would b» placed in the way of the improvements by the council. Recommendations were made to th«( City Council last night, by its Health Committee, that notices be served upon eleven owners and occupiers of alleged insanitary premises in the city, requir-. ing them to carry out alterations recommended by tho Public Health Department in the interests >of sanitation and the well-being of the community. Ia respect of certain premises in Taranakistreet, the chairman of the committee (Mr. G. Shirteliffe) said there had been * very flagrant case of failing to keep the house in a " sanitary condition. A' discussion took place as to whether tha council had the power to enforce amelioration of such cases without recourse to the Health Department, but it was intimated by the Mayor that the council must either get a certificate from tha Public Health Officer, under the Public Health Act, or proceed tindesr another Act, which requires the council fo get authority from a medical practitioner? aad another authority. The council decided 1 to call upon the eleven parties to carry out the recommendations specified in the committee's report. l In the remand case of Joseph Don* nelly, charged with an assault on ona Henry Scoones at the Park Hdtel, Newtown, Mr. Weston, who appeared for Donelly, stated, before Dr. M'Arthur, S.M., to-day, that the. principals in the case had apparently made up their differences, and there was a general feeli ing that the case need go no further. Sub-Inspector Phair believed tho caso should go on, as defendant had a previous conviction for assault. His Worship, after calling one witness, warned the defendant to be more careful in future. He would be convicted and discharged. Didric Wohlert appeared* charged with public insobriety. Accused was convicted and discharged. Of three first offenders on a similar charge, one was convicted and discharged, one was fined 10s, with a 24 hours*' default, and another 10s, with the option of 48 hours' imprisonment. Thomas Bent, an articled seaman from the s.s., Indradevi, was convicted and discharged on a charge of drunkenness. On & second count of unlawfully absenting himself from the ship, accused was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment in Na-» pier Gaol, or until such time as ha eta be placed on board the vessel, which i 3 taking in cargo on the East Coast.
