The New Plymouth borough inspector (Mr. R. Day) notified that parking places for motor-cars were: Courtenay, Powderham and Gill Streets (all parallel to Devon Street), Kawau Street, and outside all bowling greens and sports grounds. All the places were marked with red dises and cars had to be parked at an angle of 45 degrees to the footpath. The annual conference of Chambers of Commerce would probably be held in Wellington on November 24 and 25, stated a letter from the association. It was asked that remits should be sent not later than September 11. The resignation of-Mr. G. T. Langley as a member of the chamber was accepted with regret. Mr. Penn reported that Mr. C. H.
