A fire at lleefton on Thursday morning destroyed Dr Conlon s fine property in Mace Street, which, for many years, had been used as a private hospital. It was, up till a couple of weeks ago, occupied by Mr A. R. Ayson, anil since he left there has lreen a caretaker residing on the premises. The building was very far gone when the Brigade arrived. As the pressure in this part of the town is not as good as in the front street, (the main being a good deal smaller), the premises were practically burned to the ground. The insurance on the building was £BOO, in the Stm Office, which -would not cover half the cost of the building, so that Dr Conlon will he a heavy loser over the fire.

The Lyttelton "Times’’ referring to the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce meeting says:—Mr Paterson’s criticism ol the Dairy Export Control Bill has our entire support, except that we regard the policy as being syndicalism rather than socialism. However, the Labour Party in the House supported it with evident relish, and there can lx> no doubt that the chairman last evening was right- in saving that in the meal and dairy pools established by the Massey (loverninenl are perilous precedents which a future Labour Government would not- hesitate to adopt and the principles of which they would vary and extend, Legislation of this kind is a menace to tlit* whole community, and is not to be excused on the verv slender ground of political expediency. -Mr .Michel, M.L.C. who spoke on the subject last- evening, was no weaker than Mr Paterson in bis dcminciation of tlu* measure. but- we think the branch of tie- Legislature to which be belong- cannot be acquitted of blame tin the plea that he advanced. Mr Miclicd said that the Bill would have had a very •‘rough passage” in the Legislative Council but fer the fact that it was passed by a heavy majority in tho House of Representatives. This is an evador, i.e responsibility. ff the Legislative Council lias not tho courage of its opinions it might as well not, have opinions, and it might equally as well not exist. But we fancy the Council lias quite recently, and for the second time, rejected a measure which had a very substantial backing in the House of Representatives.
