THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1883.



" Sir Dargaviile met his Auckland City -• -Sonth constituents last night in St James’ • HalL . There was a fair attendance, and he was well received. He condemned ‘ Major Atkinson’s scheme of compulsory Insurance, Mr Rolleston’s management of ■* brown lands', and Mr Bryce’s manage ' ment of the native lands. The two latter were stop gaps to the progress of.,the settlement of the lands of the .colony. Be prais°d Mr Bryce’s adminis ‘iratiod of ..native affairs, and thought his removal from the post of Native Minister 'would be a - misfortune. That question ‘ should be removed from the region of party politics. As to the Education Act, ;he would oppose all tinkering with it. ' A .vote of thanks and confidence was . passed. Aj. speoial meeting' ■of the Longbeach , Hoad Board was held yesterday afternoon, . ln ; the Board’s office, there being present r—Messrs Grigg, (in the chair), Dobson, Chapman and. Lewis.

Permission:for the verandah was granted, “and it,was decided that the Board would agree to pay half the cost of the A communication from the County CoOn - .oil, stating that the work of clearing Car eer’? creek would be proceeded with on the payment by the Board of L 76, was re ceived, and consideration deferred. It was .further resolved to draw the Council’s attention to the Board’s original letter on ' this subject, to the effect that the half , share to be paid by the Board was not to amount to more than LSO. It was decided that the annual election of mem bersgphould be held on June 7th, nomina iions to be sent in to the returning officer. instL The annual meeting of ratepayers 1 will ha held on June 6th.
