• United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Auckland, July 7 ' This morning a constable found in the Manakau Harbor the body of a lad about 16 or 17 years of age. He had apparently gone to Qnehunga in order to catch the Waiuku steamer, when he met with his death. It is conjectured he had tried to get on board the steamer Weka on Friday night, and missed his footing, being j stunned by striking against either the ! ship's railing or the wharf stringers. The lad's nose was broken. The body has not yet been identified. Wellington, July 7 The Acting-Premier is advised that Capt." J, Mitchell, of Manaia, was thrown from his horse in South Africa and had his leg fractured, consequently he will be unable to return with the Tenth Contingsnt. Christchukch, July 7 Mr C. Opie, a member of the Canterbury College Board of Governors, has given notice of motion—"That exhibitions or free tuition afc High Schools be granted in future to all candidates who gain fifty per cent or more of the total number of marks obtainable at the scholarship examinations of the North Canterbury Board of Educa tion." Gisbobne July 7 The Gisborne branch of the Farmers' Union to-day resolved " That every effort be made by the Farmers' Union now in Con ference in Wellington to provide for the Colony obtaining better facilities for hand ling all frozen produce in London, and with this object in view the Government of New Zealand should be approached to sub sidise freezing stores in London to tenable produce to be handled safely at a minimum cost." The opinion was expressed that Sir Joseph Ward would be in a better position to realise the necessity for this work than others who have not been so closely associated with the frozen meat industry.

Municipal Conference

United PressJAssociation —By Electric Telegraph Wellington, July 7.

On the motion of Mr Brown, (Oamaru), it was decided that Section 35 of the Act of 1898 as to including reclaimed foreshore in a borough should be restored in the Municipal Corporation Act of J 900. The Auckland delegates brought up several proposed amendments of the burgess roll regulations, only one of which was carried, viz : that requiring the town clerk to place on the burgess list the name "of every person whose name appears oh the valuation list as occupier of rateable pro perty for the year then next ensuing." The Governor has invited the delegates to Government House ab p.m. on Tuesday to discuss a scheme for the establishment of a Veterans' Home. He will entertain the delegates at luncheon at 1.30 p.m. on Wednesday.

The Wellington City Council has asked the delegates to luncheon at the Belle View gardens, Lower Hutt, on Thursday. The Municipal Conference resolved that the power conferred upon denominations to direct as to the use of ground, the time of interments, and the erection of monuments in the portion of cemeteries set apart for such denominations, should be restricted in cases where the cemetery is provided by, and controlled by the local body. Motions proposed by Sydenham with regard to committees' powers, aud the retirement in rotation of councillor's were rejected, amd the motions regarding the temporary use of loan money aud the payment of com pensation for damage by an inspector were referred to a committee to report. Other proposals by Sydenham regarding, the position of councillors who elected the Mayor and the sanitation of churches were rejected. Other resolutions agreed to were that in the event of a tie the election shall be determined by the returning officer placing the names of two candidates in the ballot box and drawing out one publicy at the declaration of the result of the poll; that the cost of the equipment and upkeep of fire brigades be borne equally by the local authorities, fire insurance companies, and the Government; that power to let market charges be extended from threa years fixed by the Act to seven years; that the penalties provided for nuisances and other similar offences under the Public Health Act 1900, be amended to agree with the penalties imposed on breaches of the by-laws dealing with such offences under the Municipal Corporation Act 1900, be amended to provide for the protection of > the inhabitants of ruinous buildings; that the duty to provide hospitals for infected persons and contacts, imposed upon the local authorities by the Public Health Act < 1900, be transferred to Hospital Boards.
