So multifarious are tho duties of the Mayor of Auckland that Mr C. J. Parr must occasionally almost forget that he is likewise a member of the legal profession. Ho was reminded of this fact in rather a droll way on the occasion of the opening of the Parnell branch library (says' the "Star”). Arriving a little earlier than those invited to the official ceremony, Mr Parr cast an approving glance at the wellstocked bookshelves. He then reached out and selected a volume for inspection. Having read a title he turned reproachfully to a member of the library committee who had been in part responsible for the choice of literature in the little building. “Here’s a nice state of affairs,” ho remarked, holding up the book in his hand, and adopting a tone of mock indignation, “Talk about taking the bread out of a man’s mouth!” The name of the book so casually picked off the shelf by the solicitor-Mayor was “Every Han His Own Lawyer.”
