A newspaper correspondent has been complaining of the noise made by cats in his neighbourhood. He seems to think that no mews would be good news.

With the prospect of fewer tram services and higher fares, many of Dunedin’s pedestrians who have not already done so are seriously considering buying bicycles, and although only a few machines are usually sold at this time of the year, there has been a distinctly improved demand since the special tramway sub-committee submitted its report to the Dominion City Council. So concerned was one woman at the increase in fares that she went to the expense of more than £3O to equip her family with bicycles. City dealers, indeed, have had many customers buying machines for the same reason, and stocks are being augmented as quickly as possible in order to meet the rush of orders that is expected in the near future. “The bicycle still has its best days before it,” commented one dealer cheerfully. 1
