A large hole in tho window of the bottle store next to the Dominion Hotel, Gloucester Street, was the object of various speculation this morning. One surmise was that someone had been gazing too ardently at the array of | liquor displayed behind tho window, | and had pushed his face through, j Apparently, however, someone had j punched the hole in the window during j the night, and, in the words of the licensee, he had “helped himself fairly generously” to the bottles which stood within his reach. The inability of members of the Harbour Board to hear one another speaking in their new board room was complained of by several members to-day, and their complains were borne out by several “ false starts ” in which members found themselves speaking to the wrong reports. On Dr Thacker’s motion, it was decided to ask the Tramway Board to wood-pave the portion of Cathedral Square near the office where the trams run into the sheds or otherwise abate the nuisance.
