The Borough Council departed on Friday from its le-tial precedent of appointing the oldest Councillor as deputy-Mayor. On the motion 01 Crs. Monteath and llutehen. (Jr. F. E. Wilson was appointed to act in that capacity during the Mayor's absencin Christchurch. Courtesy is evidently one of, the Council's virtue's! A meeting of the Council of the liirunaki Chamber of Commerce was held on Friday afternoon, l'he following motion was carried :—" That this Chamber protests against the small amount placed on the Estimates for reading purposes, and the absolute disregard ot all the representations made by ourselves and the settlers of .his district with regard to the OhuiM, the main trunk road via Am akiuo and the Moki roads."

Mr AY. L. Kennedy, a member of the Taranaki Education Board, writes ■is follows: —" In your reuort of tile discussion that took ple.ee at Wednesday's meeting of the .Education Boara in re the proposed school at Newal, road, it inigut lead some to believe that I was antagonistic. Such was not the case. The point ut issue was, should we wait and decide at next Board meeting, alter getting a report from tne inspector, or should we cmpower the Chairman to act in the interim! 1 The latter course was adopted, tvhile I v, as of the opinion that there was no need of such hurry."

Captain Young. Government Vetennarian, has just returned from a visit to the Far North of Taranaki. Very successful meetings were addressed at Awakino and'Uruli. Jlo is now en route for the Whangamomona district, whither his fame as i lecturer has preceded him, and the farmers there are booked to hear considerable trtfhs concerning their shortcomings. As offering an indication of the 'esire of English firms to handle New Zealand cheese, the Pahialua •'Herald'' states that the Nireaha Co-oper-ative Cheese Company has been appiisecl that if its output this season exceeds 100 tons die Home firm handling it will refund exchange ami other similar charges, practically a bonus of over £3O. The material prosperity of Switzerland is strikingly illustrated by the statistics just published. During the last 55 years the wealth of 'he country not including State properly, has risen from .£400,000.000 to .£6BO, 000,000. The remarkable feature of the-c figures is the fart that no fewer than two-fifths of this total lias been acquired by the hotel proprietors, whose annual income is estimated at upwards of £6,000,000. Mr Homsby stated at a social in Cattcrion last week that at one time the steward of Bellamys averaged his takings at between £3O a nd £4O per day. Recently he reported to a responsible committee, with dolorous accents, that the returns averaged £$ odd.

This 'death trap' says our correspondent, lias been under the notice of the Department time after time, but so far . nr-thintr lias been done to remedy the existing .state of affairs. It is understood the County chairman will a train bring the matter before the Council with a view to making further representations to the Department.

It was somewhat of an affront to the musical folk of New Plymouth that the attendance at the Military Band's Birthday concert on Friday night wa» comparatively small, but it went to prow that few of our local people appreciate good music. It is much to be regretted, but nevertheless a fact, that entertainments of a musral nature, and promoted by local people, are seldom well supported, and this was the case on tiie occasion under notice. As usual, with the Military Band, the concert was of a high class nature, the different items having been made classic by long usage, and by world-wide approciaiion. The programme comprisul s,vc.al full band selections, amongst winch •-l.es Cloches de Ornville" was a specially mwiiuriou- effort, se-h'lii-n- from a sp'ejuiid'v balanced orchestra, a rjuarieite bv Messrs (',. . r.cl Bert Carry (cruets), S.urmcy (euphi'ivum), and Southam (mcllo'-i phone-, aad a cornel soio containing such a fulness of tore as is obtained oniy by -ueh an accomplished ins.ruUTittalist as Mr Beri Carry.
