Now, therefore, in pursuance of section 33 of the said Act, I do hereby direct that on and after the 14th day of May, 1923, the sale of the said goods in the Borough of Taumarunui shall be and is hereby prohibited as follows: On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after the hour of 5.30 p.m., and on Fridays and Saturdays after the hour of 10 p.m.

Surveyors Board of New Zealand.—Alteration in Practice.

Wellington, 20th March, 1923.

IT is notified, for general information, that, in pursuance and in consequence of resolutions adopted at a conference of Surveyors Boards held in Melbourne in October, 1922, the following alterations will be made in the practice of the Surveyors Board of New Zealand, and will be incorporated in new rules to be issued later.

New candidates (i.e., those who have not previously sat) will not be accepted at the March examinations; only those candidates who desire to complete previous sittings.

Both classes of candidates will be eligible for the September examinations. This alteration will take effect at the examination of March, 1924, for which no new candidates will be accepted in New Zealand.

The term of apprenticeship is altered, and extended to four years, two and a half of which must be in the field, and the articles must be submitted to the Board for registration within three months (not six as heretofore) of the beginning of the term.

These alterations apply to all articles entered into on and after 1st January, 1923, and do not affect articles entered into prior to that date.

Purely civil engineering experience, of whatever length, provided it is not less than twelve months, if offered by a candidate, will be accepted in place of six months only of the required four years survey training.

The six years service qualification forming the subject of the present regulation 7 is abolished as from the 1st January, 1925, after which date no candidate with that qualification only will be accepted for examination.

In the subject of Levelling and Earthworks, in which a pass has not hitherto been compulsory, a pass is now made compulsory, and takes effect at the next examination.

In addition to the plans and documents now required by the present regulation 11 to be lodged by new candidates, there shall, after the 1st March, 1924 (i.e., for the examination in September, 1924, because new candidates will not sit in March), be lodged field notes, plan, and sections of a proposed road, railway, or drainage scheme of not less than ten chains extent (length).

Uniform regulations for all Australian States and New Zealand are in preparation. This preliminary notice of the above alterations is published for the information and guidance of candidates and others, and they take effect now and will govern the practice of the Board in future.

W. T. NEILL, Chairman.

M. CROMPTON-SMITH, Secretary.
