The Mayor reported the debit balance at the Bank to be £1460 8s 3d. The re ceipts from all source* since last meeting were-Rates, 1894, £30 ; wp'p, reserve*, £21 12s; licenses, dogs, s<; Domain account, Athletic Association, £6 5% ; library account, subscriptions, lQs. I HAMI'TEAD. The Hampstead Town Board wrote, , asking the Council to take into considera tion tha adoption of a system of fire uignals. The Board would be willing to pay for the bell ringing tor fires m its district.—The letter was referred to the Fire Committee to report. CHAJUTABtE AID. The Charitable Aid Board wrote, stating that the annual meeting would be held on Wednesday, &n<i that the Council would be entitled to have a representative present.—The M%yor was deputed to Attend. THE LIBRARY. Messrs Bell and Bradfute wrote, acknowledging the order for books for the library. THE FIRE BRIGADE, Messrs Fooks and Pauling waited on the Council, aa a deputation from the Firs Brigade, a?kmg that an assistant engineer be appointed. Mr Fooks pointed oub that m the event of the present engineer resigning, being taken ill, or being otherwise incapacitated from per forming the duties of his position, the brigade would be m an awkward predica ment. , _ . , The Council agreed with the Brigade that it was essential that an assistant should be appointed. The matter of an actual appointment was referred to the Fire Committee to report. ENGINEERS' REPORT. The Engineers' report referred to the work done by the labor gang, and the calling for tenders for the Fire Brigade shed. Mr Fooks reported that the money allotted for the unemployed had nearly run out, and the few extra men still on would shortly be discharged. FIRE BRIGADE ST7B3IDY. Or Thomas asked if anything had been heard of the Fire Association's subsidy for the present year. The reply was m the negative ; and he moved fchat applica tion be made. The motion was carried. THE NIGHT SOIL QUESTION. Cr Thomas, pursuant to notice, moved that from January 1, 1895, the Council do the work of removing the night soil from the borough. The laxity which was becoming prevalent under the present system was » menace to the health of the borough. He would further move that the expense of the work be borne by the present rates. He thought that the times were hard for the striking of an additional rate, and with economy this could be avoided. Or Tweed seconded the motion. Cr Bird pointed out that even under the proposed system there would still re main the same trouble with respect to persons who chose to empty night soil m their gardens. Cr Brooke strongly urged a trial oi the proposed system. Cr Collins objected to the expenses being paid out ot thft general rate unlesE there was a charge made on those who benefited thereby. The Mayor considered the expense would be greater than many thought. He questioned the additional advantages of the propc6<jd system. Ha was more m favor of enforcing sanitation by the machinery at present employed. In any case there would be the same diffi ulties to be faced, and he thought they could as well bo overcome by means of the present system. Cr Paul favored the enforcing of the rules of the present system. A. Committee consisting of Ore Thomas, Bird, Collins, and Rule Was appointed to investigate the matter and report to next meeting. TENDERS. The tender of Mr William Home to make a valuation of the borough was accepted, The tender of Mr P. Williams of £180 for the erection of a new fire brigade shed was accepted. Four tenders for reserves were referred to the ■Keserves Committee with power to act. THE ANNIVERSARY HOLIDAY. Two deputations waited on the Council with respect to the date of the celebration of the Anniversary of the Province. Mr Ferriman on behalf of those who favored Monday, December 17, as the most suitable day, presented a petition, numerously signed by shopkeepers and others, requesting the Council to proclaim Monday the holiday. He pointed out that it had been an invariable custom, m the event of a holiday falling on a Sun day, to observe it the following day. This was also the Government holiday, the holiday m Timaru and Ohristchurch, and he did not see any reason for any other day being chosen here. Mr Neill waited on the Council m sup port of Wednesday for the holiday. He said ha had not a petition with him— it was at the Mail Office—but he had a list of the signatures which would do as well. The facts of the case were these. As the Council was aware, it had granted some time ago to the Friendly Societies the use of the Domain Sports ground for Wednesday, December 19, for the pur pose of holding their annual sports. Some fortnight or three weeks ago, after they had asked and got this permission from the Council, they went round to the shopkeepers, and asked them to close on the Wednesday, to allow his Society to hold these sports, and he could say it was the unanimous feeling down the town that it should be so, and m fact the larger number were still favorable to Wednesday. One of their reasons for preferring that day was because it was the date af the usual half-holiday, and the people had become so accustomed to the shops being closed on Wednesday after noons that even if they did keep open there would be nobody about, so that with the Monday holiday there would practically be. two holidays m one week, and the shopkeepers nacurally preferred one. In fact, seme years ago the ques tion had been di&cussed of holding all holidays on the Wednesday. After the sports were all fixed up, and the pro gramme m the printers' hands, they suddenly found out that, at the instiga tion of some two or three persons, for their own private purposes, there was a petition going round to have Monday as the holiday. Still the majority of the Bhopleepets were m favor of Wednesday. There were some who had signed both petitions They had been lured into signing the Monday one under a false im pression. There was a slight chance of a wool sale being held on the Monday. Supposing that at the last minute a wool Bale was fixed for Monday and the sports had been fixed also for the Monday they | would be m a worse fix than ever. In l any case they could not carry out their j sports with any success if they held them ( on Monday, because the bicycle riders of i one club go to Timaru, and those of the ] other club go to Christchurch on the t Monday, and intending competitors from 1 either of these places weuld also be unable < to be present; ao that if the sports were ) held h,ere on tfie Mpnday, they would have no competitors. There were a great t many interested m this Wednesday c holiday. It interested the biggest ti portion of the Fiiendly Societies, "who C were, ha took it, a large proportion ot the Ti ratepayers of the bore ugh. It had not N been his intention to come to the Council * OTW? t-he J»afcter ? had nob Mr Ferrjmaß y

juifo'in»d Mm th**- he was coming with I the Monday peti io . f Cr Paul said lie would lik> to sav a few words on the rua-'er Personally if: p'aced hiro in a somewhat awkward l"oie, which he supposed he should get out oi cr.e way or other in th* course of a quarter of an hour. There was this fact which he thought they should nor, lose si^ht of, and wbic_ Mr Neill had already pointed out, that the Council h*d already granted them the u«e of the Domain on the Wednesday, I for which they would have to pay the Council. JSfowifthe Council went back on them, and declared Monday tbe holi day, and these Friendly Societies could not hold their sports on Monday, it seemed to him they would ba treating ihe Societies unfairly. And ifc seemed to him that the Council's position in the master waa to, aa far as possible, consider the largest num ber who would be affdCfd by the alter-! ation in the dare. He was perfectly unprejudiced in the matter, as it did not affect him one way or the other ; but it j seemed to him that the smaller number only would be inconvenienced, if they adlerel to the Wednesday, and if they had to vote on the matter he would vote in the direction of considering the largest number of ratepayers affected. He was sorry to see both petitions signed by the same persons. Cr Cuthbertson asked the deputations whether, if the Council decided one way or the other, those Bgainst whom the decision was would fall in with it. Other wise it was little use the Council consider ing it, and to do so would be a mere farce. They could not compel the shopkeepers to close on a certain day. Mr Neill, in reply, said thafc a large number of the shopkeepers were indiffer ent as to which day was the holiday, and he felt sure they would fall in with the majority. There was no likelihood of the shops standing cut against the Council's decision. The Monday people were interested for reasons they had not stated, but the position of the Friendly Societies waa totally different. They had arranged the sports some time ago, and expected no opposition, and had none for some time after all arrangements had been made, Mr Ferriman said he would be perfectly willing to fall in with the views of the Council. His interest in the holiday was this. Some months ago he had arranged for a cricket match in Christ church for the Junior cricketers. At that time there was no talk of the Wednesday holiday, and seeing that Anniversary D.*y, when falling on a (Sunday, had always been held on the Monday, and was going to be this year in Christchurch and Timaru, such a de parture as holding it in Ashburton on a Wednesday was not expected. With regard to the Friendly Societies having fixed their date : certainly it was in the Mail, bub it only required the substitu tion -f a 7 for a 9. There waa yet nearly a month before the date. Many people who would be unable oo get away on ihe Wednesday would be able to get away from the Saturday to the Tuesday. Cr Collins — Are there to be any excursions on the Monday ? Mr Ferriman—ln all probability there will be. Cr Thomas—Yes, to take away the peop'.e who might go to the Friendly Societies Sports. Cr Bird said he was one of those who had signed the Monday petition ; but it had never occurred to him that the Friendly Societies wished to hold their sports on another day. Or Thomas said the Friendly Societies were not going to be put on one side, because there was a t^am of cricketing boys going io Chriatchvirch, That was Mr Ferriman's reason- The Mayor said if the Council wished to refer the matter to him he would settle it very quickly. He would have declared a holiday before now, but as theo was so much strong feeling over the matter he thought it best to let the matter come before the Council. He mighc say that he was in favour of Wednesday. However, the Council would consider the request of the deputations. The deputations withdrew. Cr Brooke moved that Wednesday be proclaimed the holiday, and Cr Thomas seconded the motion. Or Rule moved an amendment that Monday be the holiday. It waa the nearest date to the 16 h, was the bank holiday, and was the holiday in Timaru and Christchurch, and allowed people to take a holiday from Saturday to Tuesday. He did not think it would affect business. Cr Brooke's motion was put and carried Cr Rule being the only dissentient. THE WAIKARAPA DISASTER. j The Mayor said he thought it waa only l due to the members of the Council that he should express his thanks for the kind I expression conveyed in the letter he had received from the Council, He was sure they all felt, as did most people in the colony, the sadness of the terrible disaster, and while he could bear up under a good deal, nothing bad ever happened in his life that had affected him so much as the disaster that had occurred in connection with the Wairarapa, and he did not seem to be able to shako it off, If any of them had gone through the experiences he had gone through since he went to Dunedin he thought they would scarcely ever have forgotten it. To see the orphans left in poverty and misery, unprotected, was something heartrending ACCOUNTS. Accounts to the amount of £95 3s Id were passed for payment, and the Council adjourned and sat as a j DOMAIN BOARD. ! Messrs R. Elston and J. Raker waited on the Board on behalf of the Friendly Societies, requesting them not to comply with the application of the Sports Associa tion for control of the whole of the close days allotted to the Domain Board. { A discusaion then took place on the matter, and eventually Mr Cuthbertson withdrew his notice of motion that the additional days asked for be granted. I Sundry routine business was transacted and the Board adjourned.
