I am sorry to report that the head roadman, Tbos. Cooke, has been suffering from lumbago tor the past week or two, bul i expect hi will be able to resume work m a day or two. ‘ ’The picture shows iu the Towu Hall are as popular as ever, in fact, the attendance is even better, but owiug to the reduction in prices the receipts are not increasing. The caretaker and operator, Mr McArtuey, is askiug lor a week’s holiday, aud lakmg iuto consideration lue fact tual he has to work Sundays and holidays, aud that his work is thoroughly well done, i recommend that nis request be granted. • In April last 1 suggested iu my report that some seats should be placed iu lire cemetery, aud would now recommend that six 01 seven be procured aud placed iu suitable places, to be seiecicu by the reserves Committee.’’
