COUNCIL BALANCE SHEET, I The Auditor-General forwarded the balance sheet of the Council for the past half-year. Vim BBIGAME REPORT. The town clerk read the Fire Brigade report as follows :— Your Committee beg to report that the annual inspection of the Ashburton Volun teer Fire Brigade was held on Thurday last. The whole of the brigade plant was in spected, and with the uniforms and accoutre ments of the men appears to be in excellent order. I—The question of the extension of the shed accommodation for the fire engines and plant was again brought before the committee who would very strongly impress upon the Council the necessity of putting the work in hand at once. Your Committee would recommend th»t plan 3 submitted in the Fire Brigade Committee's report of March 27, 1893, be adopted, viz : That a new building 26 feet wide and 45 feet long be erected with side walla of brick, end walls of wood, and iron roof, a portion of the building to be available for sleeping accommodation for two firemen, and that the Hew station be erected on the site of the present shed, which could be utilised for other purposes. 2. Western Station.— Your Committee recommend that the Winter street footpath on the north-west of the station be formed, and that the bell be removed and re-erected upon a new stand with hose-drying apparatus attached. 3. Varnishing Steam Fire Engine.—As the expense of varnishing this engine would be considerably under the £5 limit, your Com mittee submit, that this work should be undertaken by the Brigade. Cr Cuthbertson moved the adoption of clause 1 of the report, and at some length nrped the necessity for increased accomo dation for the protection of the engine?. Cr Stephens seconded the motion. He thought it would be a sitting woik to mark the JNew Year. Cr Jones admitted the necessity of the work, but he understood that it had been previously decided to leave it until the next financial year when fresh estimates would be drawn up. Cr Bird, though in sympathy with the work, felt obliged to move his amendment that the matter be held over until tha new estimates were drawn up in March. Cr Anderson seconded the amendment. Cr Cuthbertson said that it was a case of protecting the Council's property. Cr Collins thought that in any case the present site was not a suitable one for a peimanent building. Cr Bird's amendment was then put and orried, only Crs Cuthbertson and Stephens voting against it. Cr Cuthbertson then moved that it be an instruction to the works committee that a sum be placed on the fredi esti mates to carry out this as the first work in the new financial year- He had gone into the question of site pretty fully with the fire brigade members, and had found that the present Bite was a very suitable one. Cr Stephens seconded the motion. He thought the whole system wanted looking into and improving. Or Collins said that it would b@ irregular for the Council to pass such a motion immediately aiter passing one which decided to hold the work over for a faw months. The Mayor thought that though the Council as a whole were in fall sympathy with the work, nothing would be lost by deiFerring the work fop a few months. Crs Cuthbertson and Stephens urged that they wanted some definite statement tbat this necessary work would be taken in hand shortly* His Worship then ruled the motion out of order. The remainder of the report was adopted. The lieutenant of the Fire Brigade reported the late fire at the Kindergarten, and drew attention to the fact that there was no water in the sumps near the school, and this had caused considerable delay. The Engineer pointed out that the whole fault lay in the fact that the bell was not heard on that side of the line. A false alarm was also recommended and agreed to. Cr Collins then moved a hearty vote of thanks to the Brigade's Committee for their efforts in forwarding the Interests of the ratepayers. Cr Bird had much pleasure in second ing the motion, It would show that they appreciated the Committee's efforts, al though they could not see their way to pass ajl their measures. The Mayor alao supported the motion, which was unanimously carried. RESERVES COMMITTEE. The Council went into Committee to Consider the Reserves o©mmittee's report. engineers' report. The Engineers' report was read as follows :—• Labor gang.—The men have been engaged during the past four weeks in filling up gully on the North-east Belt, cleaning side channels, repairing traffic bridge, cutting thistles and' grubbing broom off streets, making and putting in foot and dray bridges and eulvets, watering streets, cat ting grass off sides of streets, putting in sumps and repakin^he concrete channeling, cleaning out and widening the water race through J\ir Willamson's property and in Winter Road and making and fixing culvert for same, ploughing *f,nd cartjng soil from the railway reserve, West street, to the Domain and Post Office yard, cleaning up rubbish from channels and streets and | other maintenance work. ■ ' 2. Concrete channelling.—The contractors have completed the channel in Cass street, nsar Mrs Butler's, and also the short length at the Library. The length in Cameron street, near the Post Office, will be the next channelling attended to. We are also hav ing some of the worst places in the old channels repaired. 3. Urinal.—Messrs Anderson and Son have sent the pieces of the urinal, and we have had them cleaned and fitted together as well aa could be done. We find, how ever, that they fit imperfectly, andappar fcntly require some extra clji|>a or baads.

j We have written to Messrs Anderson on the ' subject. 4. The Works Committee recommend that; the crossings on the asphalt footpaths be 're-made sp cially iv a more substantial manner, tint prices be obtained from the contractor, and that the property owners pay half the cost; also that the following works, already resolved to be done, be left over till the next financial year:— Liying pipea and fixing stand pipe from Burnett street to Moore street; kerbing the north side of Baring Square west; putting that i side of it in order, and forming au entrance through Baring fiquare east, in front of County Council Chambers" PUBIIC ¥KIKAL. In considering clause 3 of the Engi- i neers' report Or Collins said he would most emphatically pretest against the I purchase of a second hand and imperfect urinal. He thought the purchase should be repudiated. After discussion the matter was left in the hands of the Mayor to deal with. j The Engineers 1 report was adopted. j BAD DBAIN. Or Collins drew the attention of the Council to the bad state of the drain in East Street from Mr Sealy's to Mr Segers' shops. The Mayor promised to see into the matter. NUISANCES. The Inspector of Nuisances reported having attended to several nuisances existing in the Borough. He also ! pointed out the difficulty he had in ob- I taining convictions for offences against the by laws and the Miyor was authorised I to instruct the solicitor to assist him where necessary.

The convict was joined by Chaplain's Scott and Whitton; Mrs Anderson matron, and Miss Boyerson a warder, in singing the hymns " Abide with Me >:l and "Safe in the arms of Jesus." Mrs Knotr walked firmly to the drop, and stood without a quiver while the rope was adjusted.

Her confession is not yet published. Melbourne, January 16. The Premier has declined to satisfy ' the morbid curiosity of the public. The confession is said to be a most impressive one, and does not display vindictiveness against anyone. She wishes it to be clearly understood that of the two charges brought against her she was guilty.

Holloway's Pills axd Ointment—The attention of all sufferers is drawn to these well-known remedies, for they possess con spicuous advantages as a safe and reliable aid in all those emergencies to which travellers, emigrants and sailors are so especially liable. They have been largely patronised by way farers by hnd and sea, and, in fact, by all classes of the community, to their very great advantage. The Pills are beyond all doubt one of the most effective remedies ever dis covered for cases of obstinate constipation, confirmed indigestion and colic, complaints which are engendered by exposure and irre gular teedmg. The Ointment will be found of the very greatest service in cases of piles, absjesses, erysipelas, and all kinds of local ulcerations. «A!¥I»EB* Bon»Eoci*lyii*l Extract i There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in th market now, products of simple distillation forming rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Our Pure Volatile JBuea lyntt Extract, which is raoognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 It is proved by tests made by the Medicial Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswali, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Qreifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of aoids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant, according to these authorities, and accorJing to Pro feesor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract correspondingto scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received dlst npticra at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical pur poses only are discernible :— _ 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extrac de velops most freely through its surplus of oxy -er ). 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced ia specific density through the presence of aqid« ,.,. 3. By their tasto, the result of the contracting ten 1 dency of resins and tennatos.
