The resident engineer of the railways wrote stating that he had been authorised to plant a portion of the railway reserve between the Belt and Aibken Street, to hide the engine t.hed, bub suggested that the planting be held over until nexc year, as it whs too late this year for planting. The Mayor stated that he had consolted Mr W. W. Smith and had instructed him to plant such trees as were likely to grow at this time of year. This had been done. An equivalent m trees were to be re turned by the railway department next year. The action of the Mayor was en dorsed. CHARITABLE AID, The Charitable Aid Board wrote m answer to the Council's letter forwarding a subsidy of £50, conditional on a supplementary grant of £50 being forth coming from the Government, and skating that the grant would have to be mada unconditionally, and then the money would be received m all good faith, and with the tacit understanding that another £50 would be added.

The Board's request was agreed to, Cr Tweed remarking that it was not rieht to grant other people's money uncon ditionally, RESERVES. Mr T. MeCrrandell's application to lease part of a plantation reserve near the cemetery was refused. Mr Breeze's application to rent reserve 3172 at £1 per year was granted. i THE TKAFPIC BBIDOE, Mr W. de B. Compton wxofce, suggest- Ing that traction engines should be pro vided with leather belts for the wheels to save the bridge* The letter was received. The County Council wrote with regard to the traffic bridge. Copies were en closed of the resolutions passed at the recent meeting on the matter, and a cop? of the by-laws relating to the traffic bridge. The Council pointed out m particular the by-law limiting the rate of speed of vehicles crossing the traffic bridge to five miles per hour. Cr Twaed said there was one thing he wished to draw the attention of the Council to with respect to the traffic bridge. It was not the state of the bridge, as by thafe he had suffered as much as any body, and his opinion on that the Councillors knew as well as he did. What he wished to draw the attention of the Council to wis the change of front dis played by the Chairman of the County Council. That Chairman, if he re membered rightly, while Mayor, was <3bputed to interview the County Council <sn the same subject, and had then con demned the state of the bridge. Now he was chairman of the Council he expressed altogether different views, and he (Cr 'iVeed) wished to draw attention to the inconsistency. The bridge had not got imy better since then. He thought they {should interview the Council again, and t hat the special committee be appointed ti permanent committee to jog the County Council every chance they get. ] le thought the Mayor's suggestion should tie brought before them—that a con forenca from both Councils should meet t>he engineer and report on the mattei. The letter was received. FIEB BRIGADE. The nameof E. Burrows wasapproved of an a member of the Fire Brigade. engineer's and wobks committee's

REPORTS, Landells and Preston's application.—The Warks Committee, after considering this application for permission to erect a sign b« iard across the footpath m Burnett street, d» jcided not to grant the request. Tenders for Watering.—Your Committee long to report that they have accepted the tf nder of J. Holborough at 73 per day for tl ie contract of watering the streets. The cc mtraetor commenced work to-day. Extension of Water Supply m East street, erection of standpipes.—Your Committee b«;g to recommend that the work of con tinuing the line of pipes from Burnett street to Moore street] and erecting standpipes, be left m abeyance ier the present. Courthouse Grennds.—The Works Com mittee recommended the Conncil to apply tc the Government for a grant of £8 per annum for the purpose of keeping the grounds round the Magistrate's Courthouse m order, as m tbe opinion of the Committee the present sttvte of the grounds i» disgraceful. Asphalting. — The Committee further recommend that the half width of the foot paths m the following streets be asphalted, v ij s< : _-Tancred street, from West street to Pa,rk street (one side); Burnett street, from West Btreet to Park street (both sides); and Wills street, from Bast street to Cass street (one side); provided that the owners of property fronting on the footpaths proposed to be asphalted are prepared to pay half the col.fc of the work, and that this work be put dn hand at the commencement of the next year. (Labor Gang.—The men h&ve been engaged -diaring the past two weeks m watering * streets, ploughing and catting grass off »£o«tpaths and streets, and shingling same, vgrubhing gorse m plantation*, repairing the traffic bridge, digging borders m Baring i^Straare, trimming trees m railway planta tion* and ploughing railway reserve near en ,»ine shed and planting same, carting soil, woTi 1* fa* Domain, attending td water supply and o *'h«r maintenance Work. The Works Committee have authorised bhe work of forming' Moore street weßt. 1 he reports were adopted. HOSPITAL COMMITTEE.

W- 1 'hespeclal Hospital Committee reported thw h they find the Borough C'ouncfl is md ebted to the Ashburton Hospital Board m the sum of £270, and recommended psj ment on the terms offewd by the Boi ird m their letter of September 18— viz. , £60 forthwith, and quarterly instal mei 3*B of £50 until the debt is extinguished. C !r Thomas moved the adoption of the Hot spital Oommifctee's report, and the moi fcion having been seconded, hi« Worship apj tarently sxpecting no discussion, pat it anc I declared it carried. ()r Paul immediately rose, saying that thin seemed to be a very important question, and though he should not for a moment go against the motion, as he thought the money must be due, he still must exprecs astonishment that so im portant a matter had been allowed to gc m arrears for so many years, and he did not think the Council was justified m passing such a thing over without an expression of its opinion that there had been neglect somewhere. He did not -wish to casb a reflection on any officer of fchat Council, or of the other Council—he did not know who was m fault. Or Thomas here rose to a point of order, ab iihe motion had already been passed, and 1, there was nothing before the Council. Or Paul thought he knew how to con duct himself on the Council with as much decorum as Or Thomas. The Mayor pointed out that everything which was being said by Cr Paul had been gone over and over before, and nearly every word he said had been znade use of b3fore by himself while speaking on the same subject. Speaking to the point of order, Cr Paul said he Bhould certainly like to ask Or Thomas not to so frequently interrupt] ,{jim ? Be would now ask the fifttyor if h«

was not m order. The Mayor ruled that Or Panl was not Li order, bub admitted that ha had been perhaps too hasty m putting the motion, and perhaps the Councillors would not object to Or. Paul speaking on the matter. No objection was taken, and Or Paul resumed the floor. He said that as one of the Council he should say that no re port such as chat m question had a right fco be dealt with by a pubic body without giving Councillors, if they chose, the opportunity of speaking on ifc. The Mayor—l thought I had done ao Or Paul did not wish to cast a reflection on any officer of the Counci', but he would not feel justified m agreeing to the adoption of the report without first of all giving an expression of his surprise that si important a raaoter had been, allowed to go m arrears for so many yeara. Or Brooke eaid he thought that Or Paul was right. He (Or Brooke) was new to the Council, and he had been going to make some remarks on the subject, but it had been settled before they could say Jack Robinson. Or Thomas siid that Or Paul had been m the Council some considerable time, and knew how the matter had come as a surprise to them all. He did not think it particularly the duty of that Council to find out what was owing if they were not asked for it. If there were any blame afc all it must be from the other Council, and Or Paul knew this. The reason he (Cr Thomas) had objected to Or Paul's speech was that the question hid been dealt with. Cr Paul protested that he had eaid nothing to refer to an officer of that Council. He did not; know where the blame lay. Cr Thomas Eaid there were only two men with whom the blame could lie. Cr. Tweed wished to know how this could be, when there was the Finance Committee. The matter then dropped. KriSANCES. Thb Inspector of Nuisances forwarded a report. In reporting court cases, he drew the Council's attention to Cr Thomas' action m volunteering evidence m Friedlander's case. He was under the impression that the Council would sup port him m the by-law cases, but m the case m question he had two councillors and one constable against him. Still, he was pleased to state that the evidence of the defence was not recognised by the Magistrate and Mr Friedlander was fined 10s and costs. Or Paul considered that the report should be received and the inspector should be given a hint not to send for ward comments on cases m such a manner. Or Thomas said that although a member of the Council he wa.s not supposed to endorse everything their inspector was pleased to say. Compton must hive known he was saying what was untrue when he stated that the horse was travailing eighteen miles an hour. BUILDING BY-LAWS. Its was decided to give the Conncil's solicitor instructions to take action m the case of a breach of the by-laws by J. W. Hardley, by his erecting an addition to his building m East street contrary to the regulations of the fire block. COMMITTEES. By mutual consent the name of Cr Rule was substituted for that of Or Thomas on the Library, Reserves and Works Committees. TELEPHONE. Mr H. Zander wroce with regard to the Council's refusal to have the proposed telephone connected with the Fire B igade station. He could only conclude that the matter had been dealt hastily with, and asked the Council to re-consider it, as a small instrument like the telephone might save the whole town from destruc&i&a. Only one more subscriber was wanted So make the required number. Cr Cuthbertson moved, and On Tweed seconded, that the request be complied with. Cr Scaly asked if the Council had already agreed to take one share ? Cr Thomas—-Yes. This would make two, but he himself was to have three, and the Frledlanders were taking four. Cr Paul said, to be consistent, he wonld have to vote against the motion as before. The mover had said on a previous oc casion that some of the Co«ncillors did not seem to know the use of the telephone. He did know the use of the telephone, and it was an instrument he thought they could well do without for some consider able time. The motion was then carried, Cra Paul and Thomas voting against; it. LICENSES. Petroleum licenses were granted to Messrs Miles and Co., Zander, John Orr, Friedlander Bros., and McCallum. ACGOUNTS. Accounts to the amount of £90 3s 8d were passed for payment, and the Council adjourned.

EMIGRANT STEAMER WRECKED.

Marvellous escape of the Pnsscngers. ■Ungraceful Conduct of the Firemen Ai.ba.ny, October 9 The schooner Grace Darling, from Israelite Bay, reports that she picked up a boat containing twelve survivors of the steamer Rodondo, bound from Adelaide to Albany. She struck on Pollock Beef, off Cape Arid, at two o'clock on Sunday morning, and be came a total wreck. The exact num ber of drowned is unknown, but all the crew and officers were saved. One passenger shot himse'f while m the water. Thb boat was picked up at South-east Island, and was m charge of the chief officer. She had gone to get assistance. Those m her were for twenty-four hours on one biscuit and a chop each. After picking up the boat, the schooner made South-east Island. At j dawn, the Rodondo's boat crew left her to try to bring the survivors from the island, but owing to a heavy sea were unable to effect a landing. Particulars show that the vessel struck m smoth water, floated for twelve hours, and then sank stern fore most. The passengers were m a piti able plight with regard to clothing. The survivors left the steamer m seven boats and two rafts. It is marvellous how they got ashore, as the spot scarcely affords landing for seals. Later m the morning boats were able to com municate with the schooner. The first to reach her was a boatload of women and children; and the officers and crew working their hardest, by noon all were safely transferred. The conduct of the firemen was most disgraceful. When the ship struck, they, with a number of passengers, rushed two boats. Their weight broke down the davits and all were hurled into the water, some paying the penalty with their lives. The ship's papers were saved, The second officer had the tops of two fingers taken off. So far as can be ascertained, the missing passengers are Messrs Falls, Parry, and Wormwood. Thosa saved number a hundred and sixty passen gers and thirty-six of the crew. One passenger lost three hundred sovereigns. The Rodondo was far out of her course, which is accounted for by a large boiler carried on deck affecting the compass.
