The Engineer's report was read as follows :•— A'hburton Rakaia Water Supply.—The races in this district are now being shot off in rotation for cleaning purposes, and the mains are being thoroughly overhauled. So far the settlers are making good progress with the clearing of the distributing races. A new ford has been substituted for the old bridge on Thompson's Track, and repairs have been executed on several fords through out the district. A waste weir has been placed at the meet of Winehmore main, in order to lessen the risk of the main being flooded when the river rises. Several flumes will be repaired during the time the water is shut on. Sheep bridges have been erected for the connection of north and south Ash burton rivers on O'Shea's creek, and the two sheep bridges ordered in the Drayton district are in hand. Acton Irrigation Scheme*—Mr Allan is desirous of having the works put in hand as early as possible, and I have now taken levels in detail for the greater part of the main, and am preparing the working sec* tionr. As laid off, the junction of main with side channel leading from the Rakaia river, is situated about twelve ch&iua seaward of the old line of South road, and passes through the south-east corner of K.S. 19661, the owner of which will give a free right of way for the channel about to be constructed, or for any future enlargement thereof which the Council may authorise. As soon as some further details are settled I will arrange to call tenders tor the main, and will follow up the other works as closely as possible. Ashburton-Rangitata Water Supply.— The half yearly overhaul of races is now in hand, and a considerable amount of clearing has been done. The Westerfield and Water ton mains are in good order, and the main tenance contractor is at work on those in Hinds-Raugitata district; but I am a*-, present unable to report as to the extent of work which he has recently done. The new race in Hinds Gorge has had the effect of conserving nearly all the available supply, mad while it is sufficient for present require ments there is none to spare. Some flumes in the lower district have been overhauled jrad the ends set in concrete. County Plantations—Tenders will be placed before you to-day for planting 27,000 treea in the Ashburton-Rangitata district. Mr B. G. Wright having been deputed by the Council to arrange the matter of ex change at North May held, you will observe from the accompanying letter from the Valetta agents that .they agree to his pro posals, as shown on the annexed plan. Probably some part of the plantation work there could be undertaken in the spring, My report on plantation strip, reserve 173, proposed by Mr Allan, is annexed to his fetter. County Bridges.—The North Aihburton river bridge has been tarred, as also the decking of the Mount Somers bridge, and considerable repairs have been effected during the last month. The passage of traction engines over Taylor's Stream bridge has been prohibited, but the ford has been made sufficient for them. Water Supply Act, 1891. —I have com pleted the plans to date, as required by the Act. Bangitata Thirds—As requested by you, I met the Commissioner of Crown Lands in Chmfccfaurch on April 13, in regard to the points at issue. He went fully into the whole matter, and arranged to pay the arrears due for water supply, and has also made a recommendation to the Honorable the Minister of Lands, to sanction the pro posal for further expenditure. Westerfield and Clearwell Village Settle ments.—The !in«s which would give Bhe best services to the various allotments are shown in blue lines on accompanying map, and the red lines show the extension which would be required from the Westerfield settlement to nerve the Messrs Hickmaa. Special pro vision would have to be made at some points of the sub-mains to bring down a little more water for these proposed services, more especially as the land there Is of a very porous nature, and there would be consider able absorption for the first few months. I estimate the total cost of respective services as follows:—Westerfield settlement, includ ing race to it and outfall, £40; Clearwell settlement, £18; extension races for Messrs Hiekmstn, £20. The lines would require to be carefully levelled, ay there is very little fall in some parts. THE IfiBIGATIOK DISTRICT. It was decided that the Council obtain a proper easement from the owner of reserve 19661, embodying the Engineer's suggestion. THIRDS. The Surveyor-General wrote, stating that if all proposals for the expenditure ©f thirds on roads or water races were made specifically, and approved of by the Land Board, the Council would receive th« thirds quarterly as they accrued, PLANTATION. It was resolved that the exchange as arranged by Mr Wright be approved of, the solicitor to see that the necessary transfer be made at the joint expense o! the two parties. The suggestion of planting in the spring was referred to the Plantation Committee. WB6TEBFIELD. It was decided that a copy of the Engineer's estimate ba sent to the drown Lands Commirsioner. WAKANOT CREEK. A. copy of the conditions on which the Canterbury Mill proprietors were willing to carry oufc an agreement with the Council with regard to the VVakanui creek was forwarded bj the Council's solicitor. Mr Purnell drew the Council's attention to portions of the proposed agreement in which the proposals submitted differed from those previously under conaideration. The moat important difference was that the proprietors now wanted to reserve to themselves the right to withdraw from the agreement at any time upon giving three months' notice, but without reserv ing to the Council such right. The Wakanui Creek Committee re ported having considered »the ralllowners' proposals and suggested* various altara* tiom. Amongst others was that " three calendar months " be altered to " twelve months," and that the Council have the ighb to terminate the agreement by giving

I th« smjiß notice ] It had been resolved tha the Ashburten Boraugh Counc 1 be asked to contribute £25 towards the cuat of bringing the creek under the Water Supply Aot; also that Messrs Garrick and 00. (solicitors for the Canterbury mill owners) be informed, iv reply to their letter re repairs to Wakanui creek, that the Council regrets it cannot entertain any liability in connec tion with the past, and that they be informed that the Council at the same time has expended considerable sums in connection with the Wakanui creek. The report was adopted. WHEATSTONE BRIDGES. The Long beach Ro»d Roard drew attention to the unsafe state of bridges acoss the Wheatstone drain at the end of Shearer's and Terrace roads. Mr Shearer also waited on the Council with the same object. Ie was resolved that a Committee, consisting of Messrs Cameron, William- Bon, Johnston, and Harper, be appointed to consider this and other matters con cerning the drains. PAYMENTS. Accounts to the amount of £650 were passed for payment. PLANTING. Mr W. L. Allan wrote, asking the Council to plant an area of about twelve acres of reserve 173, as it would be a boon to the residents below the reserve. Mr Allan promised if his proposal were agreed to, to continue planting along the company's land adjoining. The letter was referred to the Plantation Committee. WAIER SUPPLY. Mr Daily's application for a pond service on R.S. 31252, Lauriston, was deferred pending the engineer's report. Water services were granted to Mrs Campbell, Margaret Charles, and William Oroy. William Davey wrote stating that while crossing the Ashburton river at che ford at the Ash button forks, he lost a valuable horse by drowning, and broke the shsffc of his buggy. He attributed the accident to the gross neglect of the Council by damming the river up with sand bags, and he claimed 15s damages, the cost of a new shaft. It was decided to reply that Mr Davey in crossing the ' river instead of the bridge did so at his own risk. The Ashburton Road Board asked the Council to look into the state of the ford as the public were complaining of its obstruction. Permission was granted to the convent authorities to use suoh timber, wire, ropes or other suitable materials as might be in the Council's possession, for use in shifting the convent. MOUNT SOMKRS TRAMWAY. The Council's solicitor wrote seating that Mr Peache had signed the deed ac cepting the lease of the Mount Somers tramwey, and the chairman was autho rised to seal the lease. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting was postponed till after next meeting, hinds" cemetery. The engineer was instructed to see to the matter of the Hinds cemetery,

ALFORD FOREST.

Own Correspondent, A tea, concert, and ball, in aid of the widow and children of a resident recently deceased,' brought £18. At the concert Mr A. McFarlane occupied the chair, and the chief attractions were numerous musical items given by the school children under the able management of Mr and Mrs Gillman, and the comic singing of Mr Giles, of Spring burn ; also ballads nicely tendered by Miss Reid. Consider ing the state of things generally, the result was very gratifying. Eev T. A. Hamilton held Divine service at Springburn on Sunday last to a large congregation. Baptismal and communion i services were included. A large number being in favor of build ing a public hall at Springburn. the shares have been taken up readily, and the site , fixed is on Mr Alick McNeil's corner section, near the store and blacksmith's shop. The dip yard has been well patronised lately, but as no concession is allowed to large mobs of sheep, some have been dipped privately. This would be a loss to the shareholders, but they should be the best judges of what is proper. On May 1 a large party of sportsmen had a grand day on the hills, bagging four pia;s, and concluded by having a lively time among the hares.

Morris Tube Shooting.

The first Morris Tube rifle shooting match ever held in Ashburton was fired in the drillshed on Wednesday evening, be tween teams of the Ashburton rifle volun teers and the Ashburton Morris Tube rifl* class, eight men aside. Four men of each side fired with Martini-Henry rifles, and the other four wfrh Snider rifles. The volunteers supplied refreshments in abundance, and a very enjoyable evening; was spent.
