A revolution in the prices of accident icsurance took place yesterday, when the tenders received by the Harbor Beard were opened. The highest tender for insuring the Beard’s workmen was 36s por mOO, an! the lowest 3r lOd, whilst in tbs case of the clerical staff the lowest tenderer in the first cess offered to da the Vsuraro for nothing. L-.st year the Board paid 40s for the employees aud 65 61 for the clerical staff, The position at present appears to be that one has to mike the best bargain ho oan with the agents, and no two tmployors are charged alike. Wo understand that the low tendering in tho esse of the Harbor Board is duo to keen competition amongst the companies for business, although how it cm pay at the piice is a hard question to decide.

Sheepowuers are warned that the last day for paying the eheep rate is September Ist. After that one shilling on every ten shillings or portion of ten shillings will be added to the rate as a late pena'-ty. “ Several paddocks are laid down with Poverty Bay ryegrass,” states DAgety’s Review in an elaborate report (profusely illustrated) of Fenwicko Brothers’ Europambela Station, a well-known New England property.

At tho meeting of tbs Harbor Board yesterday Me Harding askel why oarters and others hod been stopped from remov-

ing shingle fiom the Waikanae beach. He pointed out that largo quantities of shingle wore washed up on ihe beach, and after u while it disappeared. He thought that outers should be allowed to tako the shingle at low tide, srning that it could not injure the beach. The Mayor said the Board had stepped sand and shingle being taken on account of comp'aials received term residents. In many cases largo holes had bean left whore carters had removed sand, whilst in several cases private property had been encroached upon. Mr Harding said that tho shingle disappeared so quickly by the action of tho sea that there could not be any possible reason why carters should not be allowed to take it at low tide. After soma discussion it was docided that the Works Committee should go into the matter, and after inspet ing tho beach report to tho Board.
