WAKANUI CREEK, In accordance with rhe recommenda tions of the Wakanui Creek Committee, it.was decided that a letter be written to the proprietors of the Canterbury mill, pointing out that on the strength of repeated applications from them and the Borough Council to Increase the supply of water^n the mill race, the Council has expended since 1890 the sum of £285 2s 6d m this direction—thereby securing a permanent supply to the millowners con tingent always on the consent of the Council being given for continuous use of the water. That the accounts between the Council and the millowners require looking intn, and that the millowners be asked to make an appointment to meet a Committee, of this Council to finally ad just the account. Ib was also resolved that the matter of annual contribution be left to the Chairman and Mr Williamson to arrange; also with regard to the amount claimed by the millowners. The Chairman said the miDowners had made a suggestion to him by which, if the Council would forego the claim of £285, the £100 claim of the millowners would also be forfeited. Further, the millowners agreed, if the Council would maintain the intake between the north and somh branches, cha millowEers would maintain the intake by the mill, and would also forecro the £25 annual contribution of the Council. Mr ft. Thomas wrote, withdrawing all offers contained m his letter of October 18. 1892.

Returns showed that ofc'jer Councils had more than one account, m fact one County Council had as m'iiiy as seventeen separate accounts. Mr Gr'ng pointed out tfat it greatly facilitated the equitable working of the finances with respect to different districts. He moved fhat the manager r>f the Bank be informed that, if the bank's proposal of having only one account is adopted, it will seriously affect the working of the '.ouncil's books, and also upset all present arrangements ; and if th?
