Miller; secretary and treasurer, Mrs W. Robertson; committee —Messrs, Bilton, Steel, H. Robertson, Sahlter, S. Craig, and Gunn. It was decided to hold meetings fortnightly. i ■ ... OAMARU BOROUGH COUNCIL The fortnightly meeting-of the Oamaru Borough Council was held last night. There were present the Mayor-(Mr J. M. Forrester))'and Crs'K. Familton, D. S. Bam, Fi Bhtterfield, F. G. Marshall, R. Jenkins M.iF. Cooney, J. C. Kirkness, A. R. Tait, A. Wilson, N. H. Colquhoun, and R. Milligan. . The complaint of T. S. Nichol, in.reference to storm water, damage qn his section in Eden street, was referred to the Reserves Committee. A. G. Kemp’s request for, two loads of beach gravel to be placed in front of his residence in Lune street was referred to the foreman for attention. The Oamaru Beautifying Society wrote drawing attention to damage done to trees and shrubs in Warren street, wire fences being cut to allow cattle to graze in the reserve. The society asked the council to proseciite • >the~ offenders.— Keferred to the ranger, and it was also decided to invoke the assistance of (he police. , , ~ J. E. Greenbank wrpte protesting against the successful tenderer for work on a cottage at Peebles being allowed extras not provided for in the specifications. The chairman of the Waterworks Committee (Cr Kirkness) explained that a small error had been made in the roof, and a small portion of the scrim needed replacing—The letter, was received. Cr Familton asked when Mr Tannocks report on the reserves would be brought before the council. Cr Wilson replied that he thought it was inadvisable to carry out the work of drainage on reserve C at present, but that the matter should be held over .until the consideration of the estimates. ’ It-was decided to call tenders for the concrete work at the South Hill reservoir, the excavatipn work being nearly completed.". • ■ , , ’’ . . Cr Tait commented on the damage being done by dogs to sheep on'the outskirts of the town, leading to the impression that many dogs were unregistered.—Cr Famil,ton corroborated that sheep had been worried, and the matter was referred to the ranger for a report. . , Cr Colquhoun urged that steps, be taken to ensfire that the quota raised in Oamaru by the uncmployment levy' and' tax should be made available to the unemployed of the district by a larger allocation - and the abolition of the stand-down week;— Cr Familton stated that it was interesting to note that £SO a month was being from the borough office, and a large sum must be contributed from the district for the Unemployment Fund.—A motion on the lines of Gr Colquhoun s suggestion was carried. • The Finance Committee reported the following balances: —D. F. account, credit £lB4 8s 6d; loan account, credit, £335 10s 4d. General 'accounts amounting to £1069 8s were passed for payment. An application was received from the Waitaki High Schools’ Board for a contribution towards the funds of the Oamaru Technical School, and the Finance Committee recommended thatv.the usual grant of £25 be made. —Adopted. The, Finance Committee recommended that .application be made to the Bank of New Zealand for an overdraft limit of £2o,ooo.—Adopted. An account fo r £2l 10s for arrears of interest on deposit, due to the FullerHayward Picture Company, was passed for payment'-V. • .’ , ' , , The Salvation; Army .was granted permission to. give band concerts in the Public Gardens and the Opera House on Sunday next. - . The commissioner of- transport wrote relative to the passing of a by-law prescribing stopping places for omnibuses licensed under the Act,to run.in Oamaru, and the By-laws Committee recommended that the commissioner be informed that an agreement, had been entered into with the omnibus proprietor concerning stopping places, , and that the council was prepared to pass a by-law confirming these if the department would bear the expense of preparation and advertising.—Adopted. The Post and Telegraph Department wrote that on account ,of the, widening of Forth and Frome streets, it would be necessary for the department to remove several telegraph poles in Thames hignway, and asking the council to contribute towards tile cost—The Works Committee recommended that thei council bear a proportion of the cost, the recommendation being adopted. • ' , An application: ;was received from Lister’s service statidn for a pipe channel crossing, and the Works Committee recommended, that the crossing foe provided provided the applicant agreed to bear the whole cost. —Adopted. On the recommendation of the Works Committee the following tenders for drainage and-plumbing were accepted:—Part section 4, block 6, Mr D. Miller, £l4 5s 6d; part section 19, block 26, Mr W. I. Chappell, £2O 17s fid. The Works ,Committee recommended that a track be formed on the southern boundary roadff bfG the Public Hospital, and that the work be done by .unemployed labour.—Adopted, , • , • ■ In reply to a request from the Workers Relief Association,' the Gas Committee could not recommend any concession • in the price of gas consumed by unemployed.—Adopted. Cecil James Hardy was granted a billiard saloon license, and Ernest William Woodham a seconebband dealer’s license. The council’s solicitors advised that it was proposed to inform the' legal adviser of Miss Pugh that it. was the council’s intention to proceed with the work of widening Weavers street, and that it was desired the question of compensation be left to the Compensation Court. —Receivecl. * ■ The council’s solicitors reported that an additional' section had beep included in the National Expenditure Bill, providing that no ground rents shall be reduced below 5 per cent, of the unimproved value of the land, the unimproved value being deemed and taken to be the valii 6 appearing in the District Valuation Roll on April I, 1932. This was eminently satisfactory, and the result was that in very few instances indeed there fnight be none, would the council’s ground rents be affected, it was indeed, very satisfactory that the council’s position should have been made so clear, and tha( apparently as a result of their efforts and the assistance ot M r J. A. Macplierson.—Received. The Municipal Association advised that the suggestion of the council urging the desirability of authorising a temporary reduction of sinking fund oonti ibutiona had been sent to the Prime Minister, and, pending a reply from the Prime Minister, the association would not be able to take anv action in the matter.—Received. The solicitor acting for William Wilson Brown gave notice that after the expiration of a month proceedings would, be taken against the borough in respect to an alleged nuisance committed by the council in erecting and maintaining a

septic tank on the Oamaru foreshore, which tank, it was alleged, was inefficient • and caused offensive odours. Mr Brojvn was acting as the representative of some 30 other ratepayers, and in order to save expense an action for an injunction and damages would be brought in his name in the 'first instance. —Received. MINIATURE RIFLE NOTES By SIOHTER. With the opening of the 1932 season in North Otago for miniature rifle shooting, riflemen are putting in as much practice as possible, and the usual keenness is being displayed in this winter pastime. The majority of the clubs have made a start, and several practice' shoots have already been fired. With the inclusion of two new clubs —Cromwell and the Volunteers—in the North Otago Association, “ Sighter ” predicts a very, successful season. Altogether, 11 clubs intend affiliating with the association, and keen competition will no doubt result when ,interclub matches eventuate. A representative gathering of delegates was present at the annual meeting of the association, and this also augurs well for the success of rifle shooting during the coming season. Mr W. Laney (Weston Club) was returned to the position of president. At this meeting it was decided to adopt the small target which the Wairriate and Timaru associations had already adopted. Some of the clubs iu biorth Otago have been using the small target for the past week or so. The range, however, will- now, bel 20 yards instead ox 21 yards. “Sighter” commends the North Otago Association’on its action in adopting the small target, as he realises that greater accuracy will be required and thus improve the standard of miniature shooting throughout the district. With a bull’s-eye practically half the size ot the bull’s-eye on the old targets greater care will have to be taken in the settings of the rifles, as the slightest inaccuracy on the part of the marksman will make his chances of scoring a good total very limited. A good deal will also depend on the way in which the rifleman lets his shots away,*,as it will be as easy to score an eight vffth-the small target as it was to get a nine on the old ons. Poor scoring can be expected for_a start, but with a little more practice riflemen should show lm Thisl season the automatic Diner will again be used for shield competition, but the first shoot instead of the lowest, will be eliminated. It w difficult to say at the present time whether this will be an advantage or otherwise. The method of automatic handicapping can, he explained as toi ows —Take the riflemans last tour shoots, strike out the first, shoot, and total up the number of points off the possible in the remaining three. Divide this total by four, and the result gives the handicap for the following, shoot. It a rifleman’s average, however, is between 74 and the fraction amounts to a halt or over add one point; between 70 and 73 any fraction counts one point; and when under 70 any fraction counts one and an extra point is also added. The membership of the various clubs has been .well maintained r this season, although some have been forced to relinquish their connection with their respective clubs. ... , '"From reports, Awamoko will be as strong as in the past, the majority of the old members being to The fore. On Saturday last -the scores showed an improvement on the previous weeks results. The 18 leading riflemen averaged 76.4, a very fine performance, at the last shoot. A high standard of shooting has-always been the object of the Awamoko f Club. K. Gibson landed a possible on Saturday night, showing marked improvement-to hia previous week’s score or, 76. ine Duntroon Club slipped slightly this week, the first 10 men averaging 74.3, as against 75.7 last week. H. Dovey, with two 79 s, has made a good start, and has showed the best form so far. Better things are expected of Maheno, last week’s results being very low. The smaller target must have scared the Maheno boys. Oamaru will be without the services of some of its best shots this season, but, nevertheless, has a strong membership. The shooting on Monday night was not so good- as compared with last weeks shoot when the first 10 men averaged the good total of 76.5,-which was reduced to 74.5 this week for the same number of men. H. Koppert was rewarded with a possible a week ago on the small target. 0., Glynn dropped heavily this week with 72 after registering 79 a week ago. An old hand at the game in T. Kennedy, with two 77’s, still retains his reputation. Railway has several young members’who are showing good-promise, and should be heard of in the future. At Totara three practice shoots have taken place,-and on Monday evening the first official, shoot was fired. The standard of shooting is quite good. , the small target being used there. G. Malcolm, a young member, headed the list at the weekly snoot with a 77. Weston has lost a prominent marksman in Dick Park. Dick has gone over to the Railway Club as his business necessitates his being in town. Weston is fortunate in having some very fine shots who can be relied pn giving good accounts of themselves. , . It is the intention of Sighter to contribute notes each week-for publication in these columns every Friday morning, and he cordially invites the co-operation of all, the clubs in the association. Contributions to the notes may be addressed to “ Sighter,”- care of Otago Daily Times, Box 479, Oamaru.

ST. LUKE’S C.E.M.S. Eleven members of St. Luke’s G.E.M.S. journeyed to Palmerston for the purpose of assisting in the establishment of a new branch in that parish, and the service in St. Mary’s Church was a memorable one. Sixteen men were presented by the Rev. C- W. Newton to Archdeacon Russell, who admitted, .them to G.E.M.S. membership, and gave them the society’s badges to wear. The Palmerston ladies entertained the visiting and local members to supper, and Mr Lightwood returned thanks for the hospitality extended to them. Archdeacon Russell has arranged wfth the Rev. C. W. Newton to exchange pulpits with him on May 29, when Mr. Newton wih speak at community singing, and will also preach at St, Lukes. PERSONAL Queen’s Hotel—Mr N. Tingey, Rev.

The date of the annual meeting was left in the hands of the president and treasuier to arrange. W.E.A. THE SWISS DEMOCRACY. At the W.E.A. meeting on Monday night Mr K. C M'Donald devoted his address to the government of Switzerland, which he stated to be the most complete democracy in the world. Switzerland was a confederation. of cantons which had achieved unity in spite of the remarkable diversity of its people, divided as they were by language, race, religion, and the natural features of the country. Three languages—German, French, and Italian — besides two important dialects, were spoken, Protestants and Catholics were in about equal numbers, and the people lived on either side of the greatest mountain barrier in Europe. Yet the Swiss, by reason' of history and character, were, perhaps, the most patriotic of modern peoples. An important fact was that the lines of division of language did not coin-

cide with those of religion. At the basis of the Swiss system was the stress laid on local government, and the training the people received here was largely responsible for the success of the government as a whole. Switzerland was divided into some 3000 communes and 22 cantons. The powers of the cantonal governments were : approximately those of the Australian States, or of the New Zealand provinces® before 1876. In some of the smaller cantons, the legislative body was the assembly of the whole adult male population, where everybody had the right to speak and vote. These popular assemblies had descended in unbroken line from the old community governments of the Middle Ages. In the larger cantons such a system was, of course, impossible, and government was by representative councils. The government of the confederation bad those powers which the coutons delegated to it. There were two houses, the National Council, which was elected by the people, being the chief. It met four times a year, but sessions rarely lasted more than three or four weeks. Members were paid about £1 a day while actually in attendance, so that the total annual remuneration would average about £7O. The Council of State represented the cantons each of which elected in its own way two representatives. The members of this body were paid by the cantons, not by the confederation. All observers agreed in praising the quiet, business-like tone of the Swiss Legislature. There was little or no bitterness or obstruction. For various reasons, party feeling was not strong, and members voted largely according to conviction. The constitution definitely declared that members were not delegates. The executive consisted of seven federal councillors, who were not, as in most countries, chosen from a particular party by an executive head, but were elected by the Assembly. The president was really only the chairman of the executive, whoso members were practic- ' ally equal in authority; he was elected for one year only, and was not eligible for re-election in the following year. The Federal Council was not a party affair at all, its members being, in the opinion of the Assembly, the best men available, with due regard to the representation of minorities. If legislation sponsored by the Federal Council were rejected,, the execu- . tive did not resign. The Swiss differentiated between men and measures, and did not see why they should lose the services of good administrators because particular proposals made by them had not been accepted. This attitude was made possible because a Swiss executive could not command a party majority to put through legislation obnoxious to the people, who, by the devices of the referendum and the initiative, were always the masters of their elected representatives. In' no other country had the theoretical conception of the sovereignty of the people been translated so effectively into practice. In the Confederation all changes in the Constitution had to be submitted to popular vote, and in addition any measure passed by the Assembly was subject to the referendum if 30,000 citizens petitioned to have it voted on by the people. It was significant that of the 40 odd laws that had been so voted on since 1874 (and which, of course, had already been passed by the Assembly) about half should have been rejected. Apparently the most carefully elected Legislatures were not always truly representative. ,In the cantons arrangements varied. In some a specified number could demand a referendum. In others all laws had to be voted on by the people; in that case the laws were usually reserved to be voted on in batches, about twice a year. The other aspect of direct popular -legislation . was the initiative. In the Confederation it was limited to .changes in the Constitution, but as it was difficult to define clearly the nature of a constitutional law, it had been used in practiq£ to propose what could be considered as ordinary , legislation. Fifty thousand citizens could either send up a specific amendment or could suggest the general nature of the proposed change, and ask the Assembly to frame the actual measure. In the cantons the initiative was generally extended to all legislation. There was little disagreement that in practice the system was a success. The objections raised to it, mainly by foreign observers, were almost j ridiculously trivial and theoretical. The | Swiss thenfSelves had few criticisms to i offer. Even where there might be weak- | nesses in the machine, its working was ; eased and its smooth running assured by | the practical commonsense and spirit of loyal co-operation of the Swiss people. , RUGBY NOTES CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE. / - Seniors. Points. Ch.

Good games in the senior competition* should be witnessed on Saturday, when Old Boys meets Maheno on No. 2 ’ground and Excelsior will tryi conclusions with Athletic on the Oval. After sufierirfg a defeat by a point in the opening game. Athletic is sure to make a big bid for victory, and the Oval game will probably attract a very large following. The Maheno fifteen has been strengthened by the inclusion of A, Clark, D. Hollow, and Rrice, and supporters of the country team have high hopes of a win against Old Boys, who, on the first game’s form, will be difficult to defeat. School vacation has caused a number of defaults in the junior grades, but after this Saturday interest in these games should be stitnulated by all teams participating. Georgetown, a new team in the country competition this season, has made a good start by going to the top of the ladder with two wins to its credit, while Duntroon, last year's winners of the cup, has so far only managed to avoid two' losses by drawing with Kurow. The programme for the seven-a-side tournament to be held on June 3 has now been’ distributed to clubs, and it is anticipated that this year’s fixture will be an even greater success than has been experienced in the past. It is hoped that both town and’ country teams will come forward to participate, and as the schools will bave resumed, the teams from Waitaki and St. Kevin’s, which did not compete Inst year owing to the vacation, should add greatly to the interest in the junior grades. Although the grant from the New Zealand Union towards the cost of sending a North Otago team on tour of the Nelson, Golden Bay, and Marlborough districts this year is much less than was hoped for, every effort will be made by the North Otago Union to bring about the tour this year. As the tour has been looked forward to for a number of years, it is to be hoped that the union will he successful, as it is felt that such a tour will stimulate football in North Otago, and bring its reward in future years from visiting teams to Oamaru. Word has been received by the secretary of the Rugby Union that Mr A. M'Donald (selector for the South Island team) will be present at the Show Grounds on Saturday, to see the local players in action.
