[Pm Pbsss Association.! DUNEDIN. March .28. The Presbytery has accepted the Rev J. Davidson’s resignation. He returns to Scotland shortly. Mr Vincent Pyke is seriously ill. At a meeting of the City Council, exception was taken to the recommendation ofthe Finance Committee to accept the tender of Messrs Whitcomha and Tombs for the supply of stationery, it being objected that the effect would be to give the Council work to a firm in Christchurch who were running an establishment at 15 per cent less cost than any Dunedin establishment of a similar kind. On the other hand, it was contended that the Council had nothing to do with the question of “sweating” and fair wages, audit was pointed out that the tender was, except in respect to a few items, 60 per cent below the tenders of other firms. A proposal to refer the recommendation back to the Committee was lost.
