Public Works. —■ Some time ago the Canterbury Liberal Association wrote to the Premier suggesting that several public works shortly to be undertaken in Canterbury should be carried out under the co-operative principle, and that in oases whore this Is impracticable the tenderers should be required to state the rate of wages they intend to pay. The Secretary of the Association has now received a reply from £he Premier. Mr Seddon states that hi has issued instructions for all work required to be done as far as possible under the co-operstiva principle, and that it ia a condition of all contracts made by the Department that the contractor must pay the current rate of wages ruling in the district, and observe eight hours as a working day. . Sunday Opening op Museums. —During his recent visit to Ballarat, Bishop Julma had to run the gauntlet of the mw inevitable interviewer, and qn the subject or museums and their work he is reported to have delivered himself as follows Have Uo.y opinions au fco the advisability of opeaing museums and art galleries Sundays undergone any change? Certainly not. I never hesitated to proclaim^them when X was here, so they ara well known. I cannot see any harm m opening them, because I consider they have an elevating tendency. The museum m Christchurch ia oioen and I never heard of any objection raised against it. or any evil resulting from it. One of the chief considerations m such a ease is that the caretaker should be very carefully protected, so that he may have one day's rest out of the seven. We have no gallory in Christchurch like that in Ballarat. I don’t think the museum ia used by the people as it should be. Thia I attribute to the want of short lectures on the exhibits by capable men. If some of the professors would take parties of working men over the institution and explain its contents to them, it would be of great advantage. I used to say the same thing concerning your School of Mines.”

The gig is upholstered in the beat black leather, and is painted steel grey, and lined out with maroon. The workmanship is of the very best, and the vehicle has a very smart appearance. Endowment Wanted. The Timaru Domain Board has adopted resolutions requesting the Minister of Lands to vest in it the Saltwater Creek (orOfcipua) Lagoon,' situated half-a-mile south of the town belt, as an endowment. The land, about 150 acres, is practically valueless at present, being liable to bo flooded at every heavy rain. It is believed, however, that a culvert can he run through the beach for a few hundred pounds, which would keep the bulk of the land permanently dry, and a number of private owners would be glad to contribute ’to the cost. The members for Timaru, Parsoia and Waitaki are to be asked to support the request. The Domain Board’s revenues are inadequate to keep the park in good order, and the Board anticipates that the endowment sought, if obtained, would bring in a useful amount as a grazing ground. A Plague of Weevils. —The Borough Overseer reported to the Timaru Borough Council on Monday night that, as instructed, he, on Jan. 23, inspected two sections in Theodocia Street, in connection with complaints that weevils migrating therefrom had invaded neighbouring houses, and were a great nuisance. He found weevils all over the sections, about piles of old timber, and particularly among piles of old sacks, in the folds of which they were quite thick. One householder a block away assured him that her house was swarming with the weevils, they crawled all over the children’s beds and over the food, and bit worse than fleas. One Councillor said that he knew one family who succeded in tiliing the weevils with insect powder, bo that they could be swept out, but they got tired of It, and left the house.' The Overseer stated that the insects were nearly all over the town, having been spread by sales of weevily fowl wheat through the auction rooms. The Mayor said the Council could do nothing, and the matter waa dropped.

Eichmond Swimming Bath Committee. —The final , meeting of tho Richmond Swimming Bath Committee was held in the schoolroom on Monday evening. There was a good attendance, and Mr Abercrombie occupied the chair. Apologies for absence were received from Messrs J. A. Flesher and R, J. Pauli. The honorary treasurer, Mr C. S. Howard, reported that 646 art union tickets had been sold and paid for, and that the bath had bqen practically paid fcr. Hearty votes of thanks were passed to all those who had assisted the Bath Committee in various ways, the ladies for assisting at the bazaar in aid of liquidating the debt, and the Christchurch newspapers for their support. A special vote of thanks was accorded to Mr J. Abercrombie for selling over three hundred art union tickets, and to Mr G. Milne. It waa decided to hand tho bath over to the School Committee. Messrs Wright and P Ledabam wore appointed to audit the accounts in connection with tho bath. After disposing of some minor matters, the committee disbanded. On Treacherous' Ground. —The race which supplies TiraSru with water from tho Pareora River is carried round a steep aids of Mount Horrible, a distance of a couple of miles or so. The whole cf the mountain slope is unstable and more or less liable to slips, and the race is nearly all in ground that has slipped at some time or other. Tho lata wet weather has caused the guardians of tho race and the inspector a good deal of anxiety, but fortunately no great damage waa done, though several email movements took place. In one instance the ground above moved down and forced a retaining wall a foot and a half across the race ; in another case the lower side threatened to descend, and a retaining wall had to be hurriedly built. Tho race was originally carried through this ground in ISin stone-ware pipes, but many of these have been taken out, as the ground moved and broke the joints, and frequently the pipes also. The inspector thinks that the whole of the pipes should come out, believing that an open race can be as securely maintained. There is reason to believe that some of the pipes still remaining are broken, as the pipo-Jino does not deliver anything like the quantity of water that enters it. Opinions differ as to the wisdom of substituting open races ou such treacherous slopes.

Eangiora Grain Market. —There were a few lines of grain offered at Eangiora yesterday, but almost all the .wheat submitted was damp or green, and quite valueless for milling purposes. The samples prove that soma of tha farmers will have cause to regret having threshed from tho stook, and it would be well for others to take warning by-their experience. One of the principal grain buyers informed our correspondent that Is Cd per bushel was the full value of the wheat in question, and only one line offered him was worth 2s per bushel. Oats were quoted at from Is 6d to Is 6d per bushel. The buyers state that tho oats are turning out wol), but the wheat threshed bo far ia unsatisfactory, both in yield and quality. ’
