THE HALF-HOLIDAY.
ANTI-SATURDAY MOVEMENT. IN AUCKLAND. By Telegraph.—Prpsa Association. Auckland, Last Night. A proportion of Auckland residents have never become reconciled to the Saturday half-holiday now in operation, and a petition bearing over ten thousand names was recently presented to the City Council asking for another poll on the question. As only 5000 names were le- ' quired to secure the granting of the iequest, it looked as if the poll wouid take place, but the municipal officers have now discovered that an astonishing proportion of the names on the petition are on no official roll, while a number, written in the same handwriting, are regarded with considerable suspicion. It is now thought probable that no poll will be ordered.
