During discussion at the meeting of the Main School Committee last evening, on a proposal to extend the Dental Clinic’s service to the country districts, reference was made by several members to the lack of interest shown by the great majority of parents, in the Clinic’s work. The monthly report of the Dental Nurse (Miss K. Thompson) should serve to show the great amount of work which is being done among the children in the lower classes. A total of 261 operations were carried out in May at the Main School, the attendance of patients being 90. Of these latter, 10 were now patients and 29 were reexamined. Details of the operations performed showed that 74 were for simple fillings, 22 for compound fillings, 4 for cement. 52 extractions were made, and 107 miscellaneous operations were carried out.

It is not expected that a clearance will be effected until tomorrow’s noon tide at. the earliest. Two vessels are due to arrive at Greymouth early on Monday, which, if those in port are not able to clear, will bring the total berthed to nine. A steady decrease in the depth of water on the bar has also been experienced over the last few days, owing to neaping- tides, so that, there appears quite a probability of another serious hold-up at thet port, unless conditions improve.

The Salvage Company still retains its right in the hull, and is awaiting an offer. v .
