The question of properties falling back into the hands of the Crown and thereby becoming unrateable was discussed at a meeting of the Northcote Borough Council. The Town Clerk brought down a report on the subject, and said that there were eleven dwell- ! ings in the borough so affected. The Mayor, Mr R. Martin, said it was an unfair thing for such properties to be unrateable. It made the burden hard on the other ratepayers. He thought that legislation should be introduced to right the obvious hardship. The' Council decided to cut off water after giving the Crown 14 days' notice. If a continuance of the supply is wanted it will be necessary for the Crown to install a meter. Speaking in Dunedin, Professor G. E. Thompson, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science, mentioned that, he had addressed assembled high school students in America of 2000 and more. He wouid speak for half an hour or so, and the students would invariably ask for more. He would then ask them if they desired him to answer questions. They always gave him two. The first was, "Have you any of those strange baby Austins in New Zealand?" —(laughter) an( j the second one was, "What is cricket?" Professor Thompson said he would draw the wickets on a blackboard and explain the game. The students would then discuss which game would provide the best University spirit baseball or cricket? He found that the great defect of cricket, in the minds of American students, was that when one side was in the field the other side was practically doing nothing. They wanted to know if that drawback could not be reformed. (Laughter.)
