: Public Abattoirs. — There was some discussion at the City Council meeting last t nightontheabattoirsquestion. The Sanitary « Committee presented a report expressing the opinion that the Council shoxild have its own abattoirs, and that no time should. < be lost in bringing the matter to a head. The question was referred to the Special Committee previously appointed to deal - with the subject, and Councillor Sorensen, ■ chairman of the Sanitary Committee, -was added to the Special Committee. Several councillors spoke against the proposal that ] arrangements should be made with a " freezing company to establish abattoirs, and Councillor Gray stated that he understood that the Selwyn County Council, which had been moving in that direction, was about to retrace its steps, as it appeared probable that the Bill which had been introduced into Parliament, and which would have rendered it impossible for a public body to carry on abattoirs with financial success., would not be. passed. Abt Gallkuy. — There was a good attendance at the Art Gallery yesterday afternoon. An attractive concert pro- ■ gramme has been prepared for this evening.
