CONCLUSION. I hope, gentlemen, I have not taken up too much of your time. Excepting on the matter of irrigation I have in* tentionally and almost exclusively con fined /nyself to dry figures, and even then I did not wish to weary you with too many details. No doubt the ■doings of the Council at their fre quently held and fully reported meet ings have been carefully scrutinised by the ever watchful and merciless eyes of the ratepayers. Blunders may have been made, and some of the'rate payers' money wasted, but it must not be forgotten that the Councillors were*; new to some of the valuab'e works they have initiated, that they had many difficulties and obstructions to contend with, and that they gave their services to the ratepayers gratuitously. Tak ing then everything into consideration, and further remembering that the Council has dealt with over £221,000 of the county funds, the work done by the old Councillors during the first dozen years after the entire Counties Act was brought into operation, stands forth m bold relief as testimony of those Councillors' great energy, per severance, intelligence, foresight, and earnestness of purpose. ' In retiring now from the honorable position you have voluntarily conferred i upon me, I take this opportunity to thank you for the indulgence you have invariably extended, and the valuable | assistance you have at all times given to me. If I, on the other hand, have at any time done or said anything to hurt the feelings of any of the Coun-1 cillors^ I can only say that I did so: unintentionally on the spur of the i moment, and I withdraw willingly what I may have said and apologise for what I have done. Mr C. J. Harper said the Council ttould only be doing right to record their thanks to the Chairman for his services during the year, and for his exhaustive statement of the work done by the Council since its institution. He had had no idea such a report was coming. The County had done a great amount of good work, and it was only right the colony should know what had been done and what they were doing. Such a report had never been given before, but he trusted the making of an annual report of a similar nature to that they had just heard, but on the year's work, would be made a duty by the Chairman m the future. Mr Friedlander had spent much labor and taken great care m the preparation of this ''report, and he deserved their hearty thanks for what be had done. Mr Wright desired to tender to Mr Friedlander his personal thanks for the exhaustive statement be had laid before them. It came opportunely, as many ratepayers were asking where the money had gone. This report was a full and clear answer to that question. The works undertaken by ' the Ashburton County Council had , never been adversely criticised outside I the county at any time, and members of the Council had the satisfaction of knowing that not one work ever under taken by the Council had been a failure. There were some items m the statement on which he would have liked to speak, but this was not the time. He hoped, however, the Chair man would afford them an opportunity at some future time of speaking on the statement. The Chairman said it was only a statement of facts compiled from the records of the Council. Mr Wright went on to say that he was aware of that, but an opportunity to speak upon those facts and the records would not be without its use fulness to members and the ratepayers. He heartily seconded the vote of thanks to Mr Friedlander for his i statement. The motion was carried unani mously. Mr Friedlander thanked the Council for the vote, and vacated the chair m favor of the clerk, Mr Mainwaring, who asked for nominations for the office of Chairman. Mr Grigg said he had great pleasure m moving the re-election of Mr Fried lander as chairman. Members could not help seeing how admirably he dis charged the duties appertaining to the Chairmanship, and the Council was very fortunate indeed m securing his services. Air Harper seconded the motion. In doing so, he made another compli mentary reference to the exhaustive statement they had just listened to, and added that though Mr Friedlander was perhaps as busy a man as there was m the district, he was never absent from his post, and no man could possibly attend more closely to the business of the Council than he did. Themotionwas unanimously carried. Mr Friedlander resumed the chair, and thanked the Council for the re newed expression of their confideuce m Lim by bis reelection. He would do his best to deserve it. In financial matters he would like to point out that the overdraft was not coming down as fast as he could wish, and he hoped a scheme would be devised to wipo out the overdraft—not at once, of course, but so that it would gradually dis appear. He hoped that during the next twelve months the attention of the Council would be given to this im portant matter. On the motion, of Mr Grigg, a vote of thanks was passed to the officers of the Council and the stafF, which was acknowledged by Mr Baxter, the County Engineer. The Council then passed to ordinary business.

COUNTY COUNCIL.

Following completes our report of yesterday's meeting :— VALUERS, Tenders were ordered to be invited for the valuation of the several ridings of the county, _to be m by December 19, on which date the Council would meet ab 11 a,m. to consider the tenders. HOSPITAL COMMITTEE. The Chairman drew attention to the irregularity of attendance of the Borough Council representatives at the meetings of the Hospital Committee, and pointed out that out of twelve meetings held the Borough Council had only been repre sented seven times by the Mayor and six times by the Borough's other represen tative, and the last two meetings of the Hospital Board had lapsed for want of a quorum. Mr Wright moved that a letter be written to the Borough Council, pointing out the irregularity of their representa tives' attendance at the Hospital Com mittee meetings, and hoping that m future the Borough Council will appoint representatives who will recognise the necessity of attending to fcheir dnties. This was carried, and the Chairman, Mr Williams i>n, and Mr Cameron left to attend the funeral of the late Mr John Chalmers, and Mr Wright was appointed to the chair. WATER SERVICES.

The Fatal Fire in Christchurch.

JWcC*irr'B Horrible) Ueatk

The inquest held m Christchurch this morning, touching ihe death of Edward McGirr, the Wakanui farmer, who came to his end m the fiie at Thomas Upton's house, St Asaph street, disclosed a sad state of affairs. The evidence showed that the four men—[Jpton, the owner of the house, Wilkie, Taylor, and McGirr—had been all the worse for drink. The three first mentioned lay down on the bed, and Taylor I lit a match which he threw down burning, ! and set the place on fire. They all got out j of the house but McGirr, who was evidently forgot ton by ,the others, and so was left to the terrible fate he met. He was evidently m a drunken sleep, and the tumult failei to ! awaken him. Otherwise, seeping m a chair, fully dresstd as he was, escape should have been easy. But stupidly drunk he | slept on, and his drinking ohums for got all about him and left him to perish m i his helpless condition. The jury, after half-an-hour'« cons'deration, found a verdict to the effect that McGirr met his death by the " accidental burning of the house of Thomas Upton, and that the evi dence shows the fire was caused by the inmates while ia a state ot intoxication," The Coroner commented upon the fact that the foreman of the jury was the licensee of a hotel, and recomir>ended the police m sum moning a jury m cases m which the question of drink was involved not to place a licensee on the jury. It was only a short time ago fchat ia the Magistrate's court here a pro hibition order, having effect m the borough and county of A9hburton, was issued against McGirr, but the order, of course, had no effect m Christehnrch, and this is the result! of the advantage the misguided man took of I his "freedom."

I I I ■ FAitMEKS LOOK UEBE! ARE YOUR MOWER KNIVES HE'DY tfOR WOIKV I have just received supplies of the New Model Dutton | MOWER KNIFE GRINDEB. I "KEEP THE KNIVES SHARP" !Is what every manufacturer of mowen direuta. 1 With this grinder it oan easily be done. i With a dull knife, the wear and strain, both on machine and team, are greatly increased, and the grass will be badly cut. A man, or even a boy, with this machine, can grind mower knife perfectly, and with «*se and rapidity. When a section is dulled or nicked by coming m contact with a stone, as often happens, it can be sharpened without grinding the other sections. THE "CORCTNDUM GRINDING WHEEL" does its work well, it wean but little, and will last, according to the amount of work done, from three to five years, and probably longer. There is a large hole m the centre of the wheel, made water ticrht by the flanges which clamp the wheel and hold ifc m position. When the machine is used this hollow space is filled with water through a small hole m the side of one of its flanges; the hole is then plugged up. When turning the wheel m grinding, the water is driven through its pores by centrifugal force, completely wetting its grinding surface. This prevents the temper of the knife trom being destroyed, which would be done if the wheel wore used dry. THE OPERATOR while grinding a knife, stands facing the side of the wheel andjovcr the knife clamp. This brings the grinding of the section directly under the eye. By means of a new improve* ment the grinder can be readily clamped to a pole or the rim of any wheel having a width of from 3to s|inches. It require* but little skill to use this grinder; the directions sent with each machine will, if followed, enable anyone to work it without trouble. These machines are protected fully by patents m the United .States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Belgium, and Sweden F. FERRIMAN, LAND AND ERTATE AGENT, ASHBDRtON.
