A special meeting of the Motueka Borough Council was held on Tuesday evening to receive a deputation from the Nelson Power Board Committee, consisting of Messrs. F. W. Greenslade, C. T. Price, and the consulting engineer, Mr. Lancaster. The Mayor of Motueka, in welcoming the deputation, said that it was quite time a comprehensive electrical scheme was brought into existence, and that he thought the proposed scheme was a step in the right direction. After explaining the method of procedure necessary to form a power board, Mr. Greenslade expressed the hope that Motueka would be favourable to the scheme, and that they would pay their share of the initial costs, which would not amount to over £35 and would be returnable when the scheme was finalised. The matter will be considered at the next meeting of the council. Many Nelson people will revive old memories when reminded that this is the anniversary o|f the day the Nelson Tramway ceased running in 1901. The horsedrawn tram used to run from Hardy street to the port. The collection of pictures on view at the Sutcr Art .Ga'.lery this week is the. finest seen in Nelson for many years, • and is proving a great attraction. An opossum trapper's opinion about the opening season is that it is starting a mouth too soon. The prospects are much the same as last year, but. the skins are Snot at their best till August. He pointed out that the Wellington season starts a fortnight later than the Nelson season, although Wellington is on an average, much colder than Nelson. Mr. J. A. Adams, former manager of the Waimea dairy factory, and for the last few years manager of the Collingwood dairy factory at Rockville, has been appointed manager of the Mangawhata Cooperative Dairy Factory near Palmerston North. Mr. Adams leaves to take up his duties next month. Mr. C, O'Callaghan, of the I'erntown factory, has been appointI ed in Mr. Adams's place. ■
