Dunedin, la>t night. Four per cent, is no longer tempting to investors. The City Council opened tenders to-night for £30,000 for the Waipori electric works loan, when it was found that only £LSOO had been tendered for. At a conference between the executives of the School Committees Association and tho local branch of the Education Institute a committee was sot up to prepare a circular sotting forth the claims of teachers for an increase of annuities under the Teachers’ Superannuation Act, so as to provide a reasonable allowance for back service. Efforts are to be made to secure the co-operation of education bodies in other parts of the colony.
