The question of a residence site at ißiimi came up for decision at the Warden’s Court yesterday, an over-lap-ping application to the Band Board having been made for a temporary grazing license by another party, who appeared as an objector at the Warden’s Court.

When asked if he would he turning out again for the Hastings Club this season, Cyril Brownlie, the wellknown All Black forward, told a Napier “Daily Telegraph” representative that lie was not sure of his intentions. He was keen to take up golf, which lie 1 laved formeily in New Zealand, as a serious pastime, having had opportunity while at Home to play that fascinating game at fairly frequent intervals. “It’s harder to learn than foothall.” lie said ingenuously.

Vestenlay’s Christchurch' “Press” says:— it is not unlikely that the circumstances of the resignation ol Dr I. F. Telford, Atedical Officer of Healtl for the Canterbury and Westland Health District, "ill bt the subject of an enquiry, and that the doctor's services will lie retained by the Department. It is stated that for some time dissatisfaction has been felt by several of the medical oilicers in the Department, am that Dr Telford’s .resignation will probably result in the whole position being reviewed.

The question of where motor nun her plates should lie manufactured i

oil the road to settlement, for efforts hacked by the Government arc being made to have future supplies made in New Zealand instead of being imported from America. The lion K. F. Bollard stated at Wellington on Wednesday that with that object in view he has called a collleieiie of those bodies interested to meet in Wellington on Afiril 29th. Provided the right kind of plate <aii ho made at a reasonable cost to the owners of motor vehicles, the Government, he says, certainly desires that the plates should he made in the Dominion. Air Bullard commends the expeditious manner m which the registration of ears lias been carried out by the authorities tip to the present.

Tin're nils a very good attendance .'il l lie Princess Theatre Inst night when tlic Follies ('oiujm 11 v held the boards in polite vaudeville. The i-mil-

pniiy nunihored some five performers. Imt it was an excellent combination, quality without quantity in numerical strength. Headed by Jolly John J.arkin the proceedings went right merrily with never a "ait or delay. The stage had an effective setting with brightly coloured clothes, while the dressing of the performers was quite out of the ordinary for so small a touring company. The capability of the performers was empnasised by their versatility. Each and all contributed liberally to a well varied programme in which vocal and instrumental items followed in pleasing succession. The exhibition was greatly enjoyed by the audience, the applause being frequent and free, and the whole entertainment a very pleasing memory.

Dr Moore reporting to the Grey Hospital Hoard in regard to the establishment of a laboratory at (Ireymouth stated:—“l understand that Dr Pearson has expressed bis approval of establishing ii laboratory on the Coast and has expressed the opinion that the sending across of specimens is in many Ways 'u s': less, espeejilly from, towns, outside Oreyinoulh. The Department, however, demanded that this be done. If the Westland Board refuses to agree aiul stated that a laboratory in Greymouth was not necessary and that Christchurch was good enough, it would be interesting to ask them to explain if possible, their reasons, il any. The judgment of an expert such as Dr Pearson, and the opinion of the individual member of the medical profession south of Grey mouth, should be enough. As finance, was such an urgent matter, would the Hoard consider asking the Public Health Department to run the laboratory and lo pnv for it by an anual levy on the West Coast Hospital Boards. This would overcome the difficult obstacle of one board refusing to join in, as if the laboratory were established specimens from Hokitika would ultimately come here. It is not right that the prot.cr safeguarding of the public health should he held up iu this manner by one local body.
