The Lighting Committee reported as follows :— Lighting Traffic Bridge.—Your Com mittee submitted to the County Council the offer of the Gas Company to lay the necessary pipes and light five lamps for five years at £5 5s per lamp per annum, and that this Council pay one-third of the cost. The County Council has agreed to this proposal and will contribute two thirds of the cost. The linwald Town Board have declined to contribute owing to want of funds.—Lamp at junction of Alford Forest Road and Burnett Street. The cost of laying the pipes necessary for this proposed lamp is found to to pro portionately very considerable, and the Chairman of the Gas Company has asked if the Council can see its way to postpone the lighting of this lamp till after the next meeting of the Company. Correspondence in reference to the lighting of the traffic bridge as dealt with in the report of the Lighting Committee was read, and it was decided that the work be proceeded with on the terms recommended by the Committee. i In the matter of the proposed lamp at the junction of Alford Forest Road, as the Lighting Committee reported the ' probable cost of laying the necessary pipes to be considerable, it was resolved to leave it in abeyance for the present.

AN APPEAL. A DESERVING CASE. rfIHERE is at the present time % man J_ residing in Ashburton named Richard Miller, who i« deaerving of the help of working men and others. Mr Miller was a workman on the Canterbury railways as early as 1863. Recently he was employed in the con sttuction of the line between Mount Somersand Springbum. Since then he was employed in the formation of a road from Kaikoura to Clarence River, under the supervision of a Government engineer. While there he had the misfortune to be seriously injured, through no want of care on his part. After the accident he was greatly neglected by those in charge. Instead of being sent to Christchurch to have his injuries attended to, according to his wishes, the steamer Jane Douglas then lying at the wharf, bound for Lyttelton, was allowed to depart without him, although he was suffering great agony. He then had no alternative but go to Wellington by the next boat that called. The result of this delay (four Jays) caused him the greatest suffering, and as a consequence he has undergone three amputations of the leg. Mr Miller now intends to petition Go vernment for a compassionate allowance. He had been advised by friends, members of the House of Representatives, and Legislative Council to be in Wellington during the approaching sessions to I support his petition. He feels confident that on the ground of common justice and humanity his petition ought to be j favorably received. He now appeals to I all charitably disposed persons to assist him with a little cash, to enable him to pay his fare to Wellington. Any help < will be gratefully received and acknow leged. Subscriptions may be lefc with t Mr H. M. Jones, Bookseller, Or Mr R. E. Dowle, Tailor, Arcade. 6 37
