CLIFTON ANl> SUMNER SCOUTS. Representations have been made by the local scouts to secure th© us© of the schooner Annie Hill, as local headquarters in the estuary. It is proposed to use part of the vessel as headquarters for the local patrols and to devote the rest to the use of the town Sea Scouts. The scheme was recently laid before the Dominion Executive by ! Messrs Neville and Dick, who stated that tbo owners had offered to hire the vessel for £4O a year. The deputation was cordially received, and the proposition favourably reviewed. There now seems every' possibility that the scheme will mature.
