COUNTY COUNCIL.

Following completes our report of yes terday's meeting. ' W£3TERFIBI.T> MILL WATER SUPPLY. j lc was resolved that Messrs Harris and Beswick be aiked to see that the wrrk is done as agreed, and that the Council undertakes to sign the agreement before the work is done. RUAPCNA WATER SUPPLY. The ensjinenr'a recommendation with regard to the Buapuna water supply was agreed to. And it whs decided that the work be undertaken as soon as the money is paid m. ACTON IRRIGATION SCHEME. Correspondence was read frpol t-h» Chief Enaineer of R»ilwayn, and from Mr Allan, Acton, with resp ct to the pro p >sed intake, and It was decided that the chief engineer be written to, asking that, if the work is oarried oat to the satisfac* tl n of the railway engineer and under bis supervision, Mr Allan be not h3ld re sponsible for any damage that may be done to the railway. .PLANTATIONS. It was resolved that the engineer's pro posals wish regard to the plantations be agreed to, provided the fences are put m good order and the gorse grubbed, and that the reserves be let for seven years. It was decided that the plantation com mittee be asked to see that all reserves are Inspected at least once a year, and that the conditions of leases are duly carried out, and that a report be sert m during the months of October and No vember m each year. APPROACH TO THK TRAFFIC BRIDGE. Ib was resolved that a copy of the engineer's recommendation with regard to the suggested footpath on the ap proaches to the traffic bridge be forwarded to the, Borough Council. A member thought the part of the traffic bridge set aside for foot passengers might well be thrown m with the open part, as at present it was scarcely ever used. Mr Williamson disagreed with this. He thought it was very necessary that there should be a portion set aside for foot passengers and perambulators. The reason ie was not used wan to be found m the inconvenience attached to the using of the entrance gates. Mr Baxter did not see that the gates could be very well altered wihout at the same time making them so that pica, lambs, or even a bullock could get m, and then he thought the lady with the perambulator would prefer to be else where. Mr Williamson thought » footpath should be made at the approaches, m a line with the traffic bridge footway. Mr Grigrg was quite sure there was no difficulty whatever m putting up self closing gates, which would serve the pur poße. If Mr Baxter would come to his place at Longbeach he would show him two or three. Mr Baxter pointed out that such an arrangement as was suggested was liable to be tampered with at any time. Mr Williamson moved that the engi neer be asked to erpct such gates as will admit of perambulators and bicycles entering, and that notices be put up that persons m charge of either be requested to use only the footway of the bridge. The motion waa seconded by Mr Grigg «nrl carried. WAKANUI CREEK COMMITTEE. The Wakanui creek committee's rf - port was read and adopted.

MessrsKedmayiiß aid Stone waited oil; the Council, as a deputation from the Tinwald Town Board as-kine for a contribution towards the maintenance of th« South road. The t>xi<tence of the traffic bndsjn, tha deputation contended, concentra' eJ »H the traffic of the south parr, of the county over that road, and the B^ard only havinpr a small amount of tutm coming m, needed assistance. Mr Harper considered the portion of the ro-td between the two ealeyards was a o >nnty road He moved that the sum of £20 be granted to the Tinwald Town ; Beard towards the maintenance of the Af»in South road. Mr WUliamgnn seconded the motion. Mr Oriffff said that if the Board could show that they were more beavily rated that! pther districts there might be some email reason In the request, but they could not. if the Council departed from the principle pf noc acknowledging county roads, they would have to open up the question of calling certain main roads ccn^y roa^", and ansiating ia their nnin ten-'nee If the bridge caused increased traffic, on the other hand ihe enormous expenditure m erecting ihe bridge had b* en the making of the Tinwald trwnr-hip. The «hai> man said the principle at s(akn if acknowledging county roads wou'd CHU-ie him to r-pp jhb the motion.
