City Band provided an enjoyable programme: of selected items m the Botanical Gardens yesterday afternoon. I There was a good attendance of the public. The band has improved considerably of late, and the numbers presented " yesterday afternoon reflected credit on the conductor (Mr. Davis). A collection was taken up m aid of the band's funds. ! That climatic conditions should be duly considered by the Education Department iii . planning school buildings waa urged by Mr. V. H. Reed (Bay of Islands), who told the House that m North Auckland, where the climate was sub-tropical, children and teachers suf- ; fered much discomfort 'm summer because the type of school buildings uaed there was just the same type of buildiiig used m the colder south. Local wool -sales begin m New Zealand m November with Napier; Wellington follows. The* sales are .expected to be attended by buyers for the United j Kingdom, Canada, France, Belgium, ! Germany, United States, and Japart; ■'■ and for local mills. Sales •at present i fixed for Wellington are 'November 8, December 6, December 30, January 31, and March 3. 'The sales may spread over six or more months for the whole. Dominion. Wanganui and Gisborne, used as valuing centres under Imperial pur- ' chase, will now have auction sales attended by overseas and. other buyers as before the requisition of wool m 1916; —Wellington Post. A man named John Gorzelich appeared before Messrs. H. E. Hill and W. E Coffe, J's.P., at ihe Magistrate's Court' this morning, on a charge of drunkenness.. Defendant had a list of previous convictions, three of which were within the past six months, and Senr.-Sergt Quinn pointed out that he was liable to be , declared an habitual drunkard. The . presiding- J's.P. took. a lenient view of the offence, .m view of -defendant's con- 1 Bent to the issue against himself of a prohibition order. . A fine of SZ was imposed, m default 14 days' imprisonment with" hard labor. Mr. Goffe pointed out to defendant that had he not consented to the prohibition order, he would have been fined very "heavily, or perhaps sent to prison. Speculators are always on the alert for n, chance to make money and it looks ,as if the house shortage is to be pressed into their service. One of the Dunedin land agents told an Otago. 'Daily Times reporter that a oertaini firm was buying vp all the building sections it could obtain, m anticipation of the time when building is resumed an a large scale. Sooner or later houses. must be "built m sufficient numbers to make up the leeway of' war years* and provide for the natural increase m the population, and it is obvious that if a firm secured a corner m sections it would be m a position to demand very high prices when, buyers come on the market. '"In addition to this firm," said the agent, "a syndicate is also busy buying tip sec-. .tions:" . ■■■.'■ At the last meeting of the Education Board the question of establishing a model country school at a large centre •was deferred pending a further report by the senior inspector. A grant for additional accommodation at Kaitaratahi is to be applied for. Matawai and Umutaoroa. — The department is to be asked for a grant for the installation of a hot water service. A suggestion that a central " residence to accommodate teachers of a group of small schools be constructed was "received," members; considering- it' impracticable. On the! motion of Mr. Burnard^ it was decided to call the" department's attention, to the fact that •m country towns accommodation for teachers is very difficult to obtain, and the department should acquire, ».. residences m which teachers could live together, .at- a nominal rental. On the motion of MivST. Clark Thomson, it, was decided to make application tb the department for permanent dental officers at Napier and Gisborne. Seeking an opinion on the concession m the new Taxation Bill, which has, been granted, the family man m respect to the increased exemption for all children under 18 years . of age, one could meet few who did not think the Government had acted tardily in v the matter (states the Dominion). One citizen was most emphatic m his notion that the Government had "missed the 'bus" m. not taxing the bachelor without dependents. The family man pays, pays, pays all the time for himself, his wife and children at everyrise m the cost of living. How is the single man faring? He may have to pay another 5s a week extra for board, and now and again invest m a new suit or pair of boots, but hie increases m. wages more than cover that. Single men on the wharves are said to be earning £8 a week. It would • be interesting to know how much m the ■way of income tax is derived from that source — and who his to make up the deficiency f There are hundreds of single men between. 2s and 40 years of age, . who are neglecting the first duty of man, and thereby are not only failing to make this country safer by contributing to its population, but at the same time they are dodeing the taxation that a family man, willy-nilly, has to face." One obvious remedy is a bachelor tax, adds the Dominion. As. a mark of respect to the late Lieut. - Colonel Coßßgrove, whose death occurred at Christchurch recently, the local boy scouts held a \ church parade yesterday morning. When assembled at the post office at 10.15 ' a.m. there were about 120 lads marshalled nnder Chief Scoutmaster Baker, and after inspection by Commissioner H. A.* King, they marched to Holy Trinity Church, where one section occupied the front seats of the church. The other section marched to the Baptist Church. Appropriate services were held m both, churches, and at the* conclusion the scouts formed m • order outside the churches, where the "Last Post" was sounded. In, the Baptist Church the service was a combined one for the children and boy scouts. During.;, the service the Rev. A. W. Stuart referred to the work done by the late Lieut. -Colonel Coßsgrove m connection with the" boy scout movement. A prayer was offered for the relatives of the deceased, and as a mark of respect all the people m church Btood for a moment m silence.- At Holy Trinity Church the service was conducted by the Rev. H. Packe, whose address was on the work of the late Lieut.-Oolonel Cossgrove on behalf of the boy life of Ihe, . Dominion.. He asked the lads to leyard the movement as one to train boys m the ideals of good fellowship and the desire to serve one another. Appropriate hymns and reading of the Scriptures were included m. the service. A sale of work will be held m the Te Hapara Methodist Church on Thursday, . It will be officially opened by the Mayor at 2 p.m. The Poverty Bay Stockbrokers' Ansociation has decided, m coniiunction with the Gisborne Farmers' Co-operatyre \Co., Ltd., to hold an amalgamated catn!§ a * r a * *^ ft Matawhero yards on Thursday and Friday, September 23 and 24, .entries for which close, on Saturday evening, the 18th. Attention is drawn to the advertisement; iri^ connection with the spring cattle fair. An arrangemet has been made between the Gißborno S.F.M. and M.0.. the Gisborne Farmers' Cb-Opera-tive Co., Ltd., aiiH the Stockbrokers' Association to hold a combined cattlo fair 6n Thursday and Friday, September 25 and 24) at the Matawhero yards, '

Mr. Viper Brown hns asked, the Prime Minister whether he. v\ ill have an extra Magistrate appuim?d ;o the Napier district, or. if he cannot do that,- will h<? have Walroa cat ';-* of the NapWr di3tiic;. Ono cf the oido:.- 1 . firms doing 1 business m I'sajiior, M'::i-.. Talc and Mills, announces that alter a per;od of s^me forty yeais a? coal and firewood merchants, etc., m Napier, they are compelled to relinquish- business a? fiom September 18 next owing to the inabiliiy to obtain supplies and there being no immediate prospect of improvement m ihis direction. The dairy factories a.round Levin, Otaki, and Waikanae are said to be feeling the keen competition' of the Wellington city milk supply. One dairyman from that locality says it is expected that the factories will vie one : with another to obtain cream and to do their own carting at 2s 8d per lb butter fat with a prospective bonus of 3d. I The opinion that there should be a chair of elocution at Victoria University College was expressed at the Plunket medal contest, m tho Town Hall, Wellington, by the Hon. A. T. Ngata, one of the judges. "Someone should follow the example of the late Lord Plunket,' he said, "m founding a. chair of elocution at the college. There Is no race more handicapped by the lack, of elocution than, the English. The Irish — and the Maoris — Have natural gifts m that direction !" . ' On. Friday the Rev. J. J. North, of I Christchurch, was rung up by a lady, who inquired abojit the Fight, the Famine Fund. one .wanted to be. sure that the European need was real, and that the method vof distribution was good. She said she had a . -considerable cheque to give the fund, and would post it. By Saturday morning's mail a ohequo for* £700 was .delivered to Mr North. It was .an open- cheque, and the envelope contained no line, of the lady's writing. The cheque was, issued by tho Post Office Savings* Bank, amd Bighed by. a Savings B.iindc officer, oh the Bank of New Zealand. yThe lady's name therefore is buried m obscurity. . Mr. F. H. Galvin,' who has been chief cleric m the wool department of Messrs. Dalgety and Co.'s Wellington • business for some years, lias been appointed to an important position on the staff of the Gisborne Sheep . Farmers' Frozen Meat and Mercantile Company, and will leave Wellington this week to take up his new duties. Mr. Galvin has been a member of the Star Boating Club for many years, and at the annual meeting he was the recipient of a token of. esteem for 'himself and Mrs. Galvin from the members of the club. The presentation was made by Mr. A. D. Bayfield, late club captain, who referred to the excellent services Mr. Galvin had rendered to the x club and to the sport of rowing. On Saturday night, at the annual general meeting of the South African Veterans' Association correspondence from the Hastings branch was read, requesting the appointment of a delegate to the Dominion conference to be held m Wellington on Wednesday, September 22, / and also to take part m a deputation to wait on the. Premier and Minister of Defence next Thursday to urge Parliament without unnecessary, delay to .pass legislation giving to South African veterans the same rights and privilege as the returned soldiers now have. Branches, from Auckland, to Invercargill had signified their intention of being represented. After a rather animated discussion, it was thought that as t^ie Gisborne branch had been the originators of the holding of a Dominion, conference, that it was on!- right that they should be represented, the suggestion of a "proxy being turned down. Mr. Scott was selected : as delegate.
