June 1906
Sunday At The Museums & Reading Room
The various departments of the Albert Institute and Dudhope Museum were open on Sunday during the usual Sunday hours, but the advent of summer had an effect on the attendance.The Museum and Galleries were visited by 885 persons, the Reference Library and Reading Room had 460 readers and Dudhope Museum the unusually large number of 1689 visitors. Divine service on behalf of the Lifeboat Fund having been held in Dudhope Park in the afternoon, doubtless contributed to the large increase at the Museum there.

Opening Of New Dundee Church
It is now many months since the congregation of James' U.F Church, Dundee left their old premises in Bell Street and altered their name to that of Clepington U.F Church.
Since then the members have met in a temporary abode while their new church was building, but the ediface having been completed, they have obtained occupancy.
On Wednesday the new church was for the first time open as a place of public worship and on such a memorable occasion the congregation reinforced by several clerical members of the presbytery, turned out largely to hear Rev. Professor MacEwan, D.D Edinburgh.

Tramway Committee Meeting
The operatives in the workshops of Dundee Tramway stations desire to be put on the same footing as the traffic staff in the matter of holidays.
Recently they have made application to this effect to the Tramway Committee. The matter was dealt with at a meeting of the committee on Wednesday, when it was decided that the workmen should receive 3 days' holiday with pay under the same conditions as were conceded to the traffic staff.

Sanction was given to the congregation of Bonnethill U.F Church to conduct services in Baxter Park during June, July and August. A similar application relative to Magdalen Green by Dundee U.F Presbytery per Rev. Dr Aiken was also granted.
