NO WORK GOING.

At 1 lie Napier Borough Council miitmg last nigl.t, his Worship tin Mayor drew* attention to tlm large number of nun who entered the town every we< k m search ot emplovmcnf. ftlr. Brown declared that lw was literally besieged for work, and it was advisable that it should i>c known in other towns that no surplus work was available m Napier. It is just as well that this warning should be given. Napier has been scattering a lot of borrowed money lately and probably this has got aboard aud induced labourers. to try their luck there, but unf. rtunareh disappointment is almost sure :>■ await them. The stage of activity caused bv the expenditure of loan moneys is passing, tlm tramwiiv system alone remaining to be completed and lor sues wovk as can lie put in hand the local supple of labour is said to be sufficient. Jt also generally anticipated that nii-aiy will bo tight and business quitt in Napi'r during the winter months. As the Mayor has sage': ,-i-marked, it is not possible to hte on ’be climate, and men in search of ea-ual er.mloyment would do well ro look elsewhere. Il is not a ease of marked depression in the tow>' if*.cr a I'ticnt, but just a gentni quietening down cf business whu !i rondters the empiovnient of <mt-mi • lalioui unnecessary at present.
