Strong criticism of the methods of enrolment for the Lyttelton electorate was voiced l>y Air J. McCombs, ALP., at the complimentary social tendered to him in the Trades Hall, Christchurch. on Thursday night. ALAl'Combs said lie agreed that it was bard that his political opponent should have to pay the costs of the petition and it was equally unjust that Air O’Brien had to nav the costs of the proceedings on the A\ est ( oast because ho had proved that enough people who had no right to ho enrolled had voted, and possibly have altered the result. If the care had been exercised' at Lyttelton that ought to have been exercised in accepting enrolments, said -Mr Al'Combs, he would have been declared elected at the first count.

In its report recommending the greater use of New Zealand coals on the railways, the Coal Commission has a special section relating to the sparkdanger. “ Hood results.” says the report. “ were obtained by tile use of brown coals, and considering the very cheap rate at which these coals can lie obtained in the districts where they are mined, they might be used to a very large extent if the sparking difficulty could In- overcome. It would have been quite impossible without delaying the preparation of lhe report indefinitely for the hoard to have itself gone into the quest ion of spark arresting. This is a work for locomotive engineers and other experts to undertake. and in view of the large financial benefit that would result to tho railway service by the xucccssln! use of the cheap coal referred to we are of opinion that considerable expenditure in investigations is justified in

a iurther ciiilrnvntir in arrive at a method by which the c-oal in question can lie- used without danger of fire to railway or adjoining property. The fact that the railway systems in other countries where (lie climate is more difficult from the special point of viewin question are operated almost entirely with soft coals of nil even lighter nature than the New Zealand brown coals under discussion would appear to indicate that this problem is worthy of further investigation in some districts, and during certain seasons this dan■gor from sparking is not very manifest.”
