A correspondent, "Pro Bono Publioo," writes to point out that on the occasioir of a recent accident ho discovered that there was no- ambulance, stretcher, or telephone at the Island Bay police station. In reply, the police authorities point out that there is no ambulance or btretcher at any of the stations. •It might be advisable to have one at Island Bay, but the premises are only occupied temporarily, and enquiries are now being made for more commodious quarters. The telephone bureau is within sixty or eighty yards of the police station. The Ohincmuri appeal case, George Cooper v. Jakob Bertelsen and Rudolf . Raemussen, which related to damage by flooding on a farm at Paeroa, was continued before the Court of Appeal to-day. Mr. T. Cotter, with him Mr. F. EL Mueller, appeared 'or appellant, and Dr. Bamford for respondents. Lengthy legal argument is proceeding. Lieutenant Huibert, District Staff Signalling officer, has resigned, his appointment. His retirement will be regretted by all those who have- knowledge of the time he spent in perfecting the signalling of fche garrison comcompanies. i , Ee 7r > F - W-'-lßitl. general secretary to the Now Zealand Alliance, has returned to Wellington from a holiday visit to the South. At Invercargill Mr. Isitfc says he found generally speaking that the utmost satisfaction was expressed by the business people at the results of nolicense—from a commercial standpoint and from the point, of view of the' general welfare of the community. With one exception, thoso whom he questioned as to the effects of no-license expressed satisfaction with, the present condition oi aftairs. They knew that liquor was brought in illegally and surreptitiously, and also that 'the amount brought in legally leads to some intoxication. This appeared to be chiefly amongst young men Avho think it is a great joke for them to get drunk and lie on the grass in close proximity to a parsonage. TJro result, generally speaking, is most satisfactory in both Invercargill and Gore, while Balclutha presents a spectacle of orderliness, neatness, and general prosperity that can only, in Mr. Isitfc's opinion, be described as remarkable. According 1 to an advertisement there are vacancies for tenor voices in tho Wellujgtou Auxiliary Choir, which will combiuo with the Sheffield Choir during its visit, to this city in a uerformanco of "Elijah."
