The shooting sea«>n for imported and native game will opon on Ist May and close on 31st July. The sittings of the Court of Appeal have been adjourned for th& v&catior. until Monday, 24th April. At the meeting of the Hoepila! and, Charitable Aid Board yesterday the ten-! der of Messrs. George and George waa accepted for the supply of drapery to the hospital to the 31st March, 1913. There is a probability that the Karori,' Mayoralty will -not result in a " walkover." The name of Mr. C. Cathie, at present a councillor, has been the onlyj ono so far mentioned as a candidate, but it is now understood thai; Mi-. W.i A. Kellow is to be asked to contest the. seat, and his supporters believe that ha will consent. Under the building by-laws 64 permits were issued by the Petone BoroughCouncil during the year ended 31st March last. ' Seventeen of these verg for tho erection of new buildings, lwemy-> four for additions, two for alterations, one for removal, and twenty were for miscellaneous work. The sum of £55 was collected in fees, and the estimated' value of the works was set down at £17,156. Shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday evon-< ing the fire brigade received a call to five-roomed dwelling in Levina-avenue, olf Epuni-street, owned by Mr. Wm.i Adams, and occupied by J. Evans. Thu inmates were absent when the fire broke out, and tljp place was well ablaze when the brigade arrived. Considerable damage wae done both house and con-« tents. The house is insured in tho Phoenix office for £200. After suffering great hardships on; Sunday Island, in the Kermadec Group, the Bell family, the only inhabitants* have been brought to New Zealand. About April, 1910, a waterspout damaged! the crops and houses, and the privations endured by the family since then hava been very severe. Yesterday the Marina Department received a telgrain from Captain Hooper, of the Amokura, from) Tryphena, Great Barrier, stating thati he had brought the family off. Mr. A. Leigh Hunt, has no sympathy, with advertising on tram cans. Speaking at Wadesbown last ilight, he said! that ai merchant might just as well advertise on his doors. It seemed a wrong principle. His suggestion was that the City, Council should advertise its own wares in-\ stead of somebody's pills. He favouredl artistic photographs of the city's beauty, spots to encourage strangers to visit th« tram termini. This was a far mora reasonable scheme. The problem of adi vertising should have been referred to the new council. In a paragraph appearing in Monday's Post it was stated that the Mayor had' conferred with tho representatives of th«i Tramways Union over the foster and; key prepared by the union. There was no conference. ' Tho secretary of thef union simply handed the key over to the Mayor and the sub-committee, which 1 has dealt with the dispute hitherto, and,, after the roster had been examined with the aid of the key it was returned tq the secretary, who was not present during • any part of the deliberations of tha 6ub-committee. Ref erring briefly to the financial posii tion of the Petone borough ci tho last meeting of the council, the Mayor (Mr. J. W. M'Ewan) said that it appeared) that the estimates, as far as the maintenance work was concerned, had been slightly exceeded. It is understood, however, that this is not tho case, and that when several credit amounts are, taken into consideration, it will be founds that tho work has been done for about! £100 less than provided for in the estimates. The Mayor has promised a| detailed statement of the borough'^ affairs at next meeting. The hearing of the application by the Auckland District Law Society to hava J. F. Pullen struck off the roll of solicitors was concluded by tho Court ofi Appeal yesterday afternoon. Mr. T. Cotter appeared for the movers, and Mr. F. Earl for Pullen. In opposing the motion, Mr. Earl said he did not defendi the letter Pullen had written to Mr., Mahony, but there was no criminal iiii tent. He submitted that the case was not so serious as to warrant the suspeni ssion of Pullen from practice or the striking of his name off the rolls. TheiU Honours reserved judgment. In riew of the holiday traffic ati Easteof the TJnion Company has obtained permits for several of its steamers to< carry an increased number of passengers. The Maori's complement for the 17th inst. has been brought up to 1392; the Mararoa has been authorised to carry 50 extra passengers on the 12t>h! inst; tho Pateena, 50 extra passengers between the 12th and 19th insts; I'he Arahura, 60 exka passengers between, the 12th and 19th insts ; the Mapourika, 60 extra passengers between the llthi and 19th insts.

Tho people in the know may have a' clear understanding as to what is being done in connection with tho tramway advertising, # but as far as tho general publia are concerned tho contract is ono that is difficult to follow, and tho question is whosa is the successful tender? This matter, howover, may bo loft to tho City Council, and wo turn to something of a less comply cated nature.
