The Ashburton Guardian, COUNTY AGRICULTURAL & SPORTING RECORDER THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1879.

It will be remembered that at the meet ing of the County Council, held on No vember 5, a petition was presented by 35 residents in the Forks district, asking that they should be specially taxed, so as to enable the County Council to subsidise their funds, with a view of constructing protective works to save their lands from destruction by floods in the river ; and, in addition, requesting the Council to grant the services of the County engineer. This application was backed up by a similar one from the Upper Ashburton Road Board, who expressed their willingness to assess their roads at a liberal value, and pay a tax for their protection. The applications were granted, and the engineer in his usual undemonstrative manner, wentabout the work, and had his plans ready and tenders invited for the work against the special meeting of the Council held on the 26th ult. At that time we despatched our special reporter to visit the site of the works, which were described by him in these columns, so far as those contemplated by the Council were concerned ; since then, however, complaints have been made in this paper by a resident in the Forks that the works now let to the contractor do not protect all the weak points of the banks of the river. With a view to having some correct data to work upon, a member of our staff again visited the north branch on Monday, when a toler ably good freshet was in the river. He found that the complaint made was not without foundation, as at a point on Tisch’s land, nearly opposite Greenstreet, the river was not only threatening but ac tually overflowing its banks ; and, what is worse, the bed of the river is so filled up with shingle that it is at a higher level than the adjoining land on the south side. A gully debouches from the river here, carrying a large ■ stream in flood time, which finds its way across Tisch’s and Sar gent's paddocks to the Alford Forest road, doing enormous damage both to land and road. . Some immediate action at this point is absolutely necessary, as day by day the evil is intensified, and the works in progress further up the river may pro . bably have a damaging effect on this point. When the ratepayers in the Forks under took to tax themselves for protection from floods, they did so in the expectation of each and all benefitting by the works to be constructed ; and it is the bounden duty of the authorities to see that no one is unfairly treated in so grave a matter. The question of the erection of a bridge, or the formation of a road, is one which could in most cases be delayed without much injury or inconvenience to the public ; but a case such as this, where valuable property is in imminent danger, and the main road to the up-country dis tricts is threatened with demolition, is one which will not brook delay, and some prompt action is necessary on the part of the Council. On the south, branch, too, the river is making sad havoc with its north bank, just opposite Reed's mill, a fine paddock with clover up to the horses’ bellies being gradually but surely oaten away by the action of the freshets. Here, however, ’ the work of protection is by no means p difficult, but whilst nothing is done, in the shape of stopping the river in its career, die paddocks are getting less in area year i by year.

On the general question of protection we think a good deal could be done by the farmers themselves by the application of a little ingenuitv and labor. We have known a conklcrable stream turned by the simple plan of anchoring a tree in the current, at a p >int where the river im pinged, and there are few farms'.but can boast of gum trees of sufficient dimensions for such a purpose. Taxation and paying for expensive works done by public bodies is all very well : but self-reliance and a stiff upper lip set against difficulties do a. deal more in the long run.

Ashburton Waterworks Bill. —The new County Waterworks Bill, introduced by the Hon., W. S. Peters in the Upper House, passed its second reading last night.

The Hype Family.—The Good Tem plars of Ashburton have decided to show their sympathy in the cause of charity by holding an entertainment in the Templar Hall on Monday, December 15tb, the proceeds to be given for the benefit of the family of Mr. Hydes, the heaviest sufferers by the late fire. A good pro gramme has been arranged, and a price within the reach of all has been fixed for admission, and we hope to see a good at tendance in so good a cause. I.O.G.T.—The weekly meeting of the Dawn of Peace Lodge was held on Mon day. The Grand Lodge Representative, Mr. Sando, attended and requested infor mation on any business the lodge might wish him to support in the Grand Lodge during the session about to open. A dis cussion ensued on the qualifications re quired to entitle a member to the Grand Lodge degree. Ultimately it was decided to request Bro. Sando to support a liberal measure that appeared’ on the business sheet of the Grand Lodge, making the Grand Lodge degree obtainable by all good and loyal members, on the basis of time. The entertainment Committee forthe benefit of Mr. Hyde, who suffered by the late tire, reported that they had decided on holding the entertainment next Mon day evening, the 15th inst., and it was resolved that the lodge at its rising do adjourn to Monday, Dec. 22, so as to. allow the entertainment to beheld on the 16th. The lodge having closed in due form, a degree meeting was held when one member was admitted to the 3rd degree. Mr. Jones, of Timaru, D.C., gave a very hopeful account of the progress of Good Templary in the Timaru district.

Chertsby School Committee.— A meet

ing of the above Committee was held on Tuesday, the 9th inst. Present—Messrs. W. A. Brown (Chairman) A. R. Mark ham (Secretary), L. Mangham, T. W. Wilkinson, R. Campbell, and H. Childs. The Secretary read the report of the Inspector of Schools, and also a general resumd of the work done since the opening of the school, forwarded by the master, Mr. Jas. Borthwick. Mr. T. W. Wilkin son proposed —“That the Committee, having received the Inspector s repOi't, perfectly agree with him as to the general efficiency of the master, and the progress made during his terra of office.” The Secretary was instructed to forward copies of this resolution, which was adopted, and the Inspector’s report as appended—“ This school has been recently established. It is commodious, well ventilated, and fully supplied w ith working materials. Owing to wet weather, the attendance on day of examination was small, but as only fbiir of those doing standard work were absent, the result attained may be taken as a fair test of the proficiency of the whole school. The methods of instruction are intelligent and fairly applied, and, considering the short time the teacher has been at work, ■ good progress has been made. The children were orderly and attentive. Singing and drawing are not taught. .At a recent election meeting the walls of the schoolroom were slightly damaged. ” The result of examination in standards was 100 per cent. After passing accounts and authorising the Chairman to have certain repairs executed it was decided that the Committee give the children a treat on Tuesday next, Dec. 16. Arrange ments were made for the supply of edibles and refreshments, and also for an entertainment to be held in the evening. A charge of one shilling was decided to be made for the tea and entertainment for persons not connected with the children attending the school. The Committee then adjourned. :■ Accident at Rakaia. -—An; accident happened to Mr. Charles Lake, livery stable keeper, oh Wednesday morning. Mr. L a ke, accompained by Mr. Anderson, was driving a yoilng horse through‘ the town when the horse bolted, and the buggy in which they were riding came in contact with the fence at the old post office, throwing out both occupants. Mr. Anderson jumped out without sustaining much injury, but Mr. Lake, who was thrown out, had one leg cut a good deal. The buggy was entirely smashed.

A Circus on Fire. —A't Wanganui on Monday night, the attendance at Chiarini’s Circus was about 2000. At two o’clock on Tuesday morning the tent used as a stable for the horses and zebras caught fire. The night watchman loosened the animals and let them go. The tent was burned down and the animals scampered over the town, but all were safely re captured. The huanacos were much scorched. The loss is about L4OO.

Horsewhipped. —-At the Wellington Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday a young man named Fi White was . fined ss. for horse-whipping Wethers Watts, son of Dr. Watts, who had sent an insulting let ter to White’s sister. The fine was pub scribed by several gentlemen, in the Court, and the balance was placed in the poor box.

Ashburton School Co, mmittee. —At the Committee meeting on Tuesday night there were present Dr. Stewart (presiding), and Messrs St. Hill and Bradley. After some unimportant business, the master s report •was read, which showed an average attend ance of 330 out of a number on the roll of 476. The largest attendance on any- day during the month was 340. It was decided to hold the Kith inst. a close holiday, being the Canterbury Anniversary. The Com mittee sanctioned e use of the school to the scholars for a concept pn the 32nd for behoof of the prize fund. letters were read from the Revs. Paige and Beattie, accepting the duties of examiners on the occasion of the annual examination on the 17th, 18th, and 19th inst.; and the Com mittee fixed the 22nd for the distribution of prizes to the children. A special meet ing of Committee was fixed for the 16th, to dispose of financial business re prizes.

Inquest. —There will be an inquest held on the late fire in Tancred street on Mon day,,next. School Prizes. —At the meeting of the School Committee ou Tuesday it was re ported that good progress had been made with the'’-’ - col iecii >n of subscriptions for school prizes. It is to hoped, however, that tboselnterested in the cause of edu cation who have not yet been visited by the collectors, will consider the children’s claims and subscribe to their utmost .. •ability. The presentation of prizes to deserving children is an incentive to healthy emulation, and it would be a great pity and a discredit to the township were the Committee left in any. way hampered for the needful funds to supply respectable rewards to the meritorious scholars.
