Wright, M.H.R., asking him to give the matter his attention and see what could be done. BOUNDARIES. The clerk of the Hampstead Town Board wrote, asking the Council for the boundaries of the borough.

The Canterbury Fire Association wrote, forwarding the Association's subsidy for 1892 to the local Brigade, also repeating their former remark that the subsidy was not guaranteed a periodical one. THE RETIRING COUNCILLORS. Cr Jones moved a vote of thanks to the retiring Councillors—Crs Paul, Scaly, and Duncan—for their past services. He could say that those Councillors had devoted a considerable amount of time and attention to the affairs of the Council, and though new blood might be a good thing he thought that the experi ence of the retiring Councillors was most valuable to the Council, and he hoped to see them re-elected. Cr Cuthbertson seconded the motion, winch was carried unanimously. The Councillors shortly acknowledged the vote. CLEARING EAST STREET. Cr Cuthbertson thought something' should be done in the nutter of dealing East Street, as it-* present state was dangerous to the public, and he moved that the Commissioners bo again written to, with a view to having the railway reserves cleared of all obstruction. Cr Thomas seconded the motion. Cr Paul did not see that they should so persistently agitate for the clearance of East Street more than West Street. j Cr Jones agreed with Cr Paul's re marks. Several Councillors spoke asserting that the cases of East and West street were not parallel. Cr Duncan objected to the persistency of the applications to the Oommisßioner. The motipn wascarried — Crs Paul and Duncan dissenting, Cr Jones stood out from the voting. UNLICENSED HAWKERS. Cr Jones called the attention of the Council to the fact that on the two race days cwo men took up their stand out side Mrs Adams' fruiterer's shop se ling cheap fruit without a license as hawkers, thus injuring Mrs Adam's trade, and he asked if the Council could not request the police to enforce the bylaw dealing with the matter. He though^ it was an in justice to shopkeepers who helped to pay the rents and rates of the borough. Cr Jones' motion that the by-law be enforced was seconded by Cr Paul and carried. workmen's wages, Cr Jones gave notice of motion to rescind the clause passed last meeting which reduced the workmen's wages. ACCOUNTS. Accounts to the amount of £103 18s Id were passed for payment, and the Council adjourned.

DOMAIN BOARD.

The members then sat as the Domain Board. Mr Paul stated that he had interviewed the" County Council re a grant to the Board, and that a motion had been tabled to make a grant of £25 but that the motion had- been withdrew as the County Council was not sure whetherthe Domain was wt thin the County Council boundaries. The newly formed Ashburhon Athletic Association wrote offering the Council the sum of £25 as an annual charge for the use of the sports ground. The Board went into committee to deal fritH 1 the matter and after a,bout threo quarters of an hour in committee ad journed without resuming.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.

London, September In fchp IjQUJfe of Gbwinons, in reply to a question, the Postmaster-Genera} gafd that if Australian newspapers were allowed to be reposted in Great Britain at a |d rate, the Government must concede the same privilege to America. Lord Salisbury, in his speech in the House of Lords on the Home Rule Bill, urged that unless the Lords re jected the Bill they would be for saking the highest tradition of their 'prtjer," and would prove false to the trust bequeathed to them by their an cestors. He added that where re ligions questions deeply divide a country, representative institutions if applied without a corrective are sure to prove a most da.ngeix.ust ourse. ";''■■ '" \ 'London, September 11. The rejection of the Home Rule Bill by the House of Lords was leceired quietly in Ireland. In XTlster, how py.er, there wag much rejoicing.

Disorderly Mouses.

[PEB PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Auckland, September 9. Inspector Hickson is still continuing his crusade against inmates of houses of 111-farqe. A case against one was taken to-day. Mr J. O'Meagher appeared for the defendant. He said that she was still too unwell to attend, bub he would plead "Guilty" rather than the case should be further adjourned. Mr John Gordon said that the Bench was not called upon to express an opinion on this matter, as it had already been argued ou.t. He thought, however, that owners of property occupied by tHe3e women should be punished. They had no right to reap a reward from this sc.called b,ad trafltjc, lie did not know whether a by-law dealt with the matter. Inspector Hickson said it did not, but In some part of New Zea land a landlord could be proceeded against. He had been told that one land lord in Auckland received three times the proper rent for one of these houses. That was the class of persons which ought to be dealt with. Mr Irel nl quite agreed wiih Mr Gordon's' remark.^. He thought this evil had been very much repressed when the 0 D. Act was in force. Inspector Hiekson sail ha had had the administration of that Act elsewhere, and knew its value. Mr O'Meagher said that it was a great pity that Act was ever abrogated in this city. The Bench in flicted a fine of. 20^ and coata upon the defendant, time being allowed in which to pay, as she was unwell.

IMPORTANT TO INVESTORS, IMPORTANT TO FATHEuS AND MOTHERS, IMPORTANT TO EVuRYti )DY. "P\O YOU WISH for a good Investment! Then be wise and purchase a HOUSE SECTION. You cannot go wrong in buying land at a reasonable price, which increasing in value, and becoming less in quantity every week. Everyone should possess a home that he can call his own, and the properties such as are now offered should not be missed. Young man, you may feel free and independent now, but you will want to settle down. Be wise and purchase a House and Section by instalment of payment that you will not feel the loss of. Saving leads to wealth ; yet many people go on paying house rent all their lives, and are either unaware how easily they may become house owners instead of rent payers, or singularly neglectful of such opportunities as F. FERRIMAN offers. Do without luxuries for a little while, buy a Section and House. What you are now paying for rent will soon pay the of your property. No more landlords, no more rent. Anyone la active employmei of any kind can save enongh to pay the Instalment by cutting down expenses. Wha many spend in cigars and beer, horse-racing and cards, would buy a House and Section. Don't hesitate because your earnings are small; make your expenses onl a little less than now. Many will be ready to take it off your hands at a profit. It ia an axiom in political economy that should be written in letters of gold—} The man who lives up to all he owns Is ill prepared for fortunes turns, But who spends less has home and health, Long life himself, his children wealth, Like drops of water, grains of sand That make the ocean and the land ; The penny saved to sovereigns grows, What poor men hope, the rich man knows. —Baker, moore;street" ashburton extension, V nT i ftolp l ACRE of GOOD GROUND; capital frontage, , UL aits on Beach Road.
