“Councillor Fraer and I were at that ‘sink of iniquity’ on Monday night,” said Councillor 0. E. Jones last night at the meeting of the Women’s Branch of the •Christchurch Citizen#’ Association, “but you are not to judge the supper by the newspaper posters, When the Mayor of the City loses In's dignity to such an extent as to say that the Council has turned the Chamber into a ‘boozeroo shoo,’ then it is time to put someone iu that position, who will uphold the dignity of the City.”

T!ie prompt action of two local residents on Thursday saved the life of a four-year-old boy who bad fallen into the Buller river under most unusual circumstances. A lad named Thomas was cycling over the Buller oridge, with his young brother on the handle bar. The machine hit the side of tlie bridge and tossed the younger boy into the river. W. Boriase and W.

The fact that several mills in the district are shortening bands or closing down for varying periods, is creating a good deal of unemployment, and those out of work are finding it difficult to obtain places. There are also men from other parts of the Coast and Dominion, tramping this way in search of work, Unfortunately there are very lew places, and many of tbe Hampers have to pass on. A few lo al men are being placed on works in the district, but the work is only temporary. Some men started to-day on the road work at Hi mu Flat, but tbe supply of labour far exceeded tbe demand. The appeal to the Government to start Dorothy Falls road is now becoming more insistent. It would appear work will lie very scarce during tbe winter, unless the timber trade brightens, and there is not. much prospect of that in Now Zealand at present. Tbe chief hope appears to be in reviving the timber trade with Australia where tjiere is the possibility of a better market shortly.
