Tho ratepayers can have a town liali if they are willing to pay tho price, It will bo dearer than it would have been if it had! been erected 1 before tho war; but at an increase to tho rates, which lias been calculated at 1-J(d in tho £, wc believe that they would have it cheaply. All ratepayers will not be of the same opinion. Some will reflect that the increase, small in itself to rates, would be made on a largo enough total. It is for them to decide whether they will indulge themselves. Tho, request haa been made that the council should allow the question lo be referred to a poll of ratepayers, and that request cannot reasonably be refused. It would bo a. pity, wc think, if this so simple" question of a town hall needed for the living should be mixed up with the question of a memorial for tho dead. Tim two things havo nothing naturally in common. A memorial to those who with their life’s blood bought tho preservation of “all we have and are’’ is more than a utility or a luxury ; it is a. debt duo to them and to future generations, who will bo made manlier by remembrance of their sacrifice. Wo might build a town ball which we need and call it a memorial to onr dead soldiers; but the procedure would be precisely like that of the parent who buys a pair of boots for his child, which ho would have to buy sooner or later in any case, and calls it a . birthday present. We have heard parents defend such gifts to their children; but the child who could approve the reasoning is still unknown. And it is tho point of view of the (recipient, not the bastower of gifts or honor, which requires lo be regarded in this case. There is another obstacle to tho complete following of this method. The amount that would bo needed for a town bail’s erection never could bo raised by voluntary subscriptions, and a memorial that was not voluntary on the part of nil contributing to it would be unthinkable. The suggestion has been made that this difficulty might bo overcome by building a town hall from a local loan, on which interest would bo mot from the rates, and providing out of voluntary contributions a vestibule or memorial room of it which would) serve as the soldiers’ monument. The stranger who desired to see that monument would) not look around him. He would inquire of the custodian of the town hail. Wo are not surprised 1 that this plan does not commend itself lo returned soldiers and others wo havo interviewed. We havo no doubt ourselves that tho memorial will be .provided in the. best way if the public committee representative of tho citizens, which has already agreed on a symbolic column, to stand where it will be seen by everyone as a pure expression of love and pride and gratitude, serving no other purpose, adheres to its decision. Dissentients there will he, but the town Mr Paulin advised this afternoon ; N.E. winds and fine, barometer fall. At a very representative meeting ol the Dunedin master tailors on Thursday night they unanimously decided that, although the bonus reduction of Ss on male workers’ wages and 2s fid on female workers represented a saving of only 2a fxt in the cost of production of a suit or costume, they would give tho public the full ■benefit “and take the 5s off the regular marked price of all suits and costumes from Monday, May 15, 1922. This appears to be the first earnest stabilisation of prices and a return to the normal conditions which will make for tho ultimate prosperity of tho wholo dominion. Tho postal authorities advise Unit the steamer Paloona, winch is due at 'Wellington to-morrow from Melbourne, is carrying mails from .South Africa, the East, ami Australia, totalling eighty-eight bags for New Zealand, and also thirtyono parcel receptacles. The Dunedin portion should como to hand on Tuesday evening. Edward .Andrew Axclscn again appeared on remand in the .Police Court this morning on four charges of.indecent assault. Mr C. J. L. White .asked for a, further teinaml till Friday next, when, ho said, they would ibo able to go on. The remand was granted, bail being fixed as before. A Hawera message slates that last month a motor car proceeding from Alanaia to Opunnko, after a football tournament, collided in the dark with a cart driven by a. Native named Rangimaha. One ol the occupants of tho car (Thomas Duffy) was seriously injured, and died on April 18. At Opniiake, yesterday Raugimaha was charged with manslaughter, and was committed for trial. A Press Association telegram from Auckland states that the Arbitration Court .gave judgment this morning by consent for £740 in a claim by Josephine Andrews (widow) against J. T. Julian and Sons, builders, as a result of tho death of her husband, who was killed while working for defendants at New Plymouth on March 21. The annual meeting of the Palmerston brunch of the Farmers’ Union was hold on Saturday last. The meeting was rather optimistic of the future, and it was hoped to have a good year. The efforts of tho union in connection with tho meat pool have interested farmers generally, and tho feeling seems to bo getting hold that the pool could do a groat work for tho fanner and country generally if it were properly backed up. Dissatisfaction was expressed at the finding of tho court in, tho mill workers’ dispute, and tho opinion of-the meeting was that no notice at all had been taken of the farmers’ evidence, awl that farmers would go out of cropping if they could not got a fair deal. It was stated that for these last two years farmers had done rnoro than their fair si)are to reduce the cost of" living, and yet the wages they had to pay had not been reduced 1n any extent. If things in tho stock lino continue to improve as they are doing, it is held that there will bo very little work for tho harvester and mill hand in tho near future.

(Received May .13, at 10.45 a.m.) The minority report of the. Board of Trade favored £3 15s 9d as the basic wage, contending that £3 18s was loo high, and that the cost, of living reductions warranted a decrease of 6s 9d. The employers believe that tho board’s decision will assist, to relieve unemployment. Many prefer not to reduce wages if the employees will work longer hours and increase production. The goneral feeling is that the trade unions will accept the decision, 'but the Labor Council threatens an industrial upheaval when the reduction is made effective.—A. and N.Z. Cable.

A resolution was passed authorising the executive to take the necessary steps in conjunction with other churches for consummation of tho union ; and recommending the State unions lo foster the spirit of Union by promoting co-operation with the, Presbyterian and Methodist Churches as a precursor to a more coniprehcnsive movement.—A. and N.Z.

Press Association. ■SYDNEY, May, 13. (Received -May 13, at 11.5 a.m.) Mr Hughes announced: the Defence policy at Muilumbimby. Ho stated that the Estimates had been framed on t-iio basis of providing for a total reduction of £1,750,000 on tho estimated expenditure of 1921. The reductions bad been made possible by the Washington decisions. Limited defence measures were necessary; hence provision was being made for manufacturing munitions, but with reduced , output, so that tiro nucleus of defence organisations would exist—lo ho -amplified in ease of emergency. The Government intended to use -the 12in gum- on tho Australia for strengthening coastal defence. A number of vessels in the Australian Fleet would bo placed- in the reserve, also the submarine flotilla. Tho par-f-onnel of the latter would bo retained and distributed among tho vessels in commission, io be available if necessary. There would' lie ilia greatest reductions in tho army. It was proposed to abolish junior cadet training. Cadets in future would bo trained between the ages of 16 and 18 years, and would then pass into the militia, ceasing at 20. Everything was reduced to practically 25 per cent." of war strength. •Compensation would bo paid to the soldiers 1 rotirofl, unless absorbed into other Government departments. The Air Service for the present would be reduced from four squadrons to ono, but tho civil aviationi vote would bd ■increased. LISBON TO RIO AIRMEN FALL INTO-SEA.

A new weekly feature which begins in the ‘Evening Star’ to-day is an article on auction bridge by Mr Ernest Bergholt, author of ‘Royal Auction Bridge,’ and probably the best known of all authorities on the game. Otago orchardiots are now picking the last of the late apples—the Tasman and Rokewoods that follow the Stumers—and a start has been made witli the pruning of the stone-fruit trees. , Considering the wetness of the season there has not been very much blight in Otago orchards. Mr B. G. Goodwin, the Government expert, says that Central Otago trees arc pracfree from fungus. The Roxburgh district is all right, and higher up, when past the rocky divide and into the Alexandra district, there are no pests lo speak of. The chief thing lo bo feared, Mr Goodwin says, is the second-hand case, If its use is persisted in tho result will very likely bo tho introduction of entomological scourges. If the Court of Convocation had had to conduct an election at yesterday’s meeting there would probably have been a large attendance, but Dr Stuart Moore withdrew from nomination ns a member of tho council, therefore there was no election to come on; hence the comparatively small attendance.

Tho reinstatement of Romison’g confectionery shop in Princes street is to bo gono on with at once, the work having been entrusted to the Fletcher Construction Company. The Dominion Conference of the R.S.A. is asked by the Canterbury Provincial Conference to constitute itself a deputation to tho Prime Minister, tho Minister of Defence, and tho Minister in Charge of War Pensions in order to emphasise tire grave view taken by the association of the reluctance of the Director-General of Medical Services to recognise to tho full, that, in certain cases, returned soldiers’ disabilities are due to war services, and the ignoring of the signed statements of medical men. The net proceeds from tho sale of poppies throughout Otago on Poppy Day amount to from £1,500 to £1,600.
