£5 asked for, and Cr Jones thought that as the Council had spent money for the benefit of the Caledonian Society and the Cycling and Cricket Clubs, and not much for the benefit of the Swimming Club, the money should be voted. His Worship, Cr Tweed, and Cr Thomas opposed the vote, the latter stating that the cost of the pavilion had been defrayed by private guarantees, subscrip tions, and the proceeds of a concert, and he suggested that the Club should be asked to be content with the staging they had until they could afiord to extend it at their own cost. A question arose as to the right of the public to use the shed erected by the Club at the baths, and it was decided that before further consideration of the Club's letter the Mayor should interview the Club and ascer tain exactly what the latter meant to do m connection with the tise of the shed by the public. POtINDKEKPER. Mr Joseph Hale wrote giving a month's notice of his intention to resign his position as poundkeeper and his office of inspector of nuisances. The resignation was accepted, and steps ordered to be taken to supply the vacancies. engineers' report. The Engineers reported formally that the labor gang"had been engaged on maintenance work since last week. TRACTION ENGINES. A recommendation to the By-Laws Com mittee was made to bring up a proposal at next meeting for the regulation of traction engine traffic m East Street. LICENSES. A carrier's license was granted to W. Crooks. ACCOUNTS. Accounts to the amount of £50 were passed for payment. DOMAIN BOAED. The Mayor reported having accepted a contract of 11s an acre for cutting and stacking the oat crop on the Domain. The other business was unimportant.

School Committee.

SOUTH RAKAIA

The monthly meeting was held on Mon day. Present—Messrs Hardy (chairman), Oxley, Liddy, Barcock and Clark. An apology was received from Mr 0. Dixon. The Inspector's report was read, and the Committee expressed themselves as satisfied with the result. Mr W. Dixon, headmaster, wrote tendering his resignation as from February 1, as he had received the appointment of second master at Palmerston North. On the motion of Mr Oxley, seconded by Mr Clark, the resignation was accepted with regret, and a hope expressed that the school would soon obtain the services of another teacher who would do as much good as Mr Dixon had done during the last ten years. A vote of thanks was accorded to the | ladies and gentlemen who assisted at the concert, which was a decided success. It was decided to recommend the Board to allow Mr Dixon for buildings he had erected on the school premises. inspector's repokt. South Rakaia school, November 6,1891. Pass Subjects.

Inspector's remarks—Staff and distribu tion—Standards VI,, V., IV., Mr Dixon, headmaster ; Standard 111., Miss M. J. Campbell, A.F. ; Standard 11., W. H. Johnston, P.T., third year (matriculated first year of service) ; Standard I. and P., Miss Ruth Seymour, D.F. ; «T. McNair, P.T., first year. The preparatory classes have been well trained, and have made satisfactory pro gress. Standard I. has passed a very good examination. The recitation of this class is above the average m point of merit. Standard ll.—ln this class the work is too uneven. The children have evidently been taught with intelligence, but the instruction given m some of the subjects, notably m spelling and arithmetic, has suffered from want of accuracy and of attention to details. Standard lIT. has been well taught, and has passed a good examination m all subjects. Standard IV., also makes a good ap pearance on the whole, but the copy books of this class do not show a sufficient advance on the work of Standard 111., and the attainments m history are but j moderate, Standards Y. and Vl.—ln the two highest standards, reading, spelling, geography and drawing are good, and the neatness and style of the written papers indicate careful training ; but arithmetic and grammar' fall below a satisfactory standard of merit. The military drill of the boys,, and the calisthenics of the girls are deserving of special mention. The manners, order and discipline of the pupils when under examination form a pleasing feature of this school. Signed, T. S. Foster, J. G. L. Scott, Acting Inspectors.

It is reported that England will be flooded this winter with apples from Canada, where the crop is the largest ever known.
