Bates) last night issued the following forecast :—Present indications are for southeasterly winds strong to a gale northward of Westport and Kaikoura, veering to westerlies shortly and moderate to strong easterlies to increasing northerly winds elsewhere. Weather cold and boisterous with heavy rain in the North Island and northeast districts of the South but fair to cloudy for a short time in the western and southern portion of the South Island. Barometer rising in the North but falling soon in the South for an approaching westerly disturbance: It is now stated that the date for the official opening of broadcast station 2YA Wellington will be July 16, reports a Wellington Press Association message. The Palmerston North Borough Council last evening decided to raise a £3,000 loan to be expended on footways to meet unemployment, reports a Press Association message. A Wellington Press Association telegram reports:—Miserably cold and squally weather prevailed at the week-end, with occasional driving sleety showers and the hills across the harbour showed a coating of snow on the higher peaks. In accordance with notice of motion the Mayor, Mr D. McDougall, moved at last night’s meeting of the Gore Borough Council that the by-law requiring owners and occupiers to number their residences be enforced. The motion was carried and the Town Clerk was instructed to call tenders for the supply of 2,000 suitable numbers. When the appointment of the Gore Borough Council’s representatives on the Southland League was under consideration at last night’s meeting of the council, the Mayor inquired what benefit Gore had received from the existence of the League. Councillor Shelton expressed surprise that such a question should be asked and stated that among other things the League had been instrumental in obtaining better shipping facilities at Bluff, benefiting the business people of Gore. It had also done much to advance the general interest of the province as a whole. C. Lewis commences business, Grand Corner, Thursday next. Economy prices.— Advt.

Bill was an experienced rabbiter yet folk could not quite fathom the reason for his optimistic attitude towards things in general when they happened to stop and “pass the time of day” with him. “It seems to me,” said a confrere one day, “that we shall have to look out for something else to do now that the of skins has dropped without any warning.” “No,” was Bill’s rejoinder, “it’s only a temporary matter. Anyhow, what does it matter so long as we, at any rate, know we can rely on Andrew Wilson, Ltd., to give us the highest market values. Take it from me that is the firm which will always handle my consignments.” And what about yours?—(Advt.)

Children yesterday were delighted and business men disturbed by the strains of a barrel organ playing in the streets. Five men—L. A. Kyle, G. Place, E. O’Donnell, G. Harker and J. McCasker —for conducting the game of “crown and anchor” at a church bazaar were fined £3 each and costs yesterday morning, states a Napier Press Association message. The Magistrate impounded £5 2/6 which was found by the police when the raid was made. At a sitting of the Police Court yesterday morning Robert Baird (Mr Eustace Russell) was charged with the theft of a cheque for £ll and with breaking and entering on February 4 the dwelling house of Alice Wesney and committing theft therein. Accused was remanded till Friday, bail being allowed in his own and one other surety of £5O and he was ordered to report daily to the police. Misses James Ward and T. Daniels, Justices of the Peace, were on the Bench. When willows reach a certain age they frequently become decayed, although their appearance would not indicate that such had taken place (says the Christchurch Press). A good example of this was to be seen the other morning in the Gardens, when a large tree at the rear of the Townsend House was cut down. The diameter at the base was 4ft 6in, but there was little sound timber in the tree, most of the centre of which was in a very bad state, although until recently the tree was as green outwardly as any other of its kind. So rapid and unexpected has been the increase in the load of the Auckland Power Board since its inception five years ago (reports the Waikato Times) that it is anticipated the completion of the original contract at Arapuni for three units, each with a capacity of 15,000 kilowatts, will not solve the problem of providing for further development in the near future. This opinion was expressed the other day by Mr W. J. Holdsworth, chairman of the Auckland Power Board, on his return from the conference of power boards at Hamilton to consider the delay at Arapuni.
