Buddo to-day and protested against the reduction of its permit in the Racing Commission’s report from two days to one. The Minister replied that he had to carry opt the recommendations in so far as, they conformed with the Act and he could not give the deputation much comfort so far as-permits for this coming year were concerned. As to whether the recommendations of the Commission wore in accordance with the law he would be able to soy on the advice of the Crown Law authorities in two or three days. A deputation representing the lire Brigades Association waited on the Hoti. Buddo to-day and placed before him resolutions passed at the recent conference. In reply the Minister approved the suggestion that the Government should issue a set of model building regulations to which municipalities should “tune” their bylaws. The proposal would be considered in connection with any Town Planning Bill introduced.

He promised to convey to the Minister for Education a suggestion that charts should be placed in schools and instructions giving simple elementary rules dealing with outbreaks of fire. The other matters referred to would receive consideration. Auction advertisements will be found on page 6 and S.
