MEAHVEN.

Public itlov ting: ro Sturm Wut.r From Our Own Correspondent A public meeting was held an tho Road Board Uflbe, Methven. on Thursday lasr, to endeavor to arrive at aome scheme for d-Hling with the suirm water between the R.kaia and Ashburton rivers. About thirty persons wero present. The Chair man of the Mount Hutc Road Board < ooupied the chair, and briefly stated the reasons for c tiling the meeting. Mr John Holmes wrote apologising for his absence on account of ill-health, and suggesting that the first step to be taken m the matter Bhould he the appointment of a Committea of three dieintprested persons, who should take means to find ouc the most efficient and It ast burden some way of dealing with the subject ,* the Committee to report to a meeting of j those interested within throe months, and to be empowered to spend a sum not! exoeeding £100 to obtain infot mation aud professional aH, such amount en be guaranteed by chose interested m propor I tion to the value of the land aflected by I flood waters. Upon the Committee's iccommendations being submitted to the subsequent meeting it could then finally decide on the draiuage area and district, j He considered it would be premature to fix the drainage distriot before deciding on the scheme to be adopted. Any just, j practicable, and efficient scheme would j reoeive his support, if not too burden ■ome.

Mr M. Friedlander thought it better that the Road Board should take m hand the Committee work suggested by Mr Holmes.

Messrs MoFarlane and Morgan, as members of the Board, dissented from this, seeing that districts outside of the Boad Board districts were affected.

Mr J. Wallace would like to know why they m this district could not be placed on an equal footing with olher districts. He had been given io understand, though he could not vouch for the figures being oorreot, that the County Counoil had spent £4000 on the Springfield flood channel, £600 on the Mount Harding channel, and £1000 on a channel at Wakanui. Why eonld not the Conncll give some assistance to the distriot affected by the Dry creek water? He wonld ask the members of the County Counoil present if they eonld give him any information as to the expenditure he had stated. Mr Cameron (Sprinefield) stated that gg regards the Winchmore-Springfield chattoel it was constructed out of the propoi**4on of the land fund allotted to the CTpptt* Ashburton and Mount Somer<* ridings ; that other ridings had also had their proportion of this fond, and that they had probably spent it m some other way than m drainage. Mr Frledlander asked if the Chairman oould give any estimate of the cost of a scheme.

The Chairman stated that Mr Dobson's estimate of the coet of * channel from Methven to Highbank, £6302, and Mr Baxter's estimate, £6750, for the ham channel, were the litest estimates. Mr Wason moved — "That the Hoad Board be empowered to employ a com petent surveyor to go over the storm water channel-, and declare what fences it is necessary to open up sufficiently to provide ingress and egress to water, m order, as far as possible, to keep ' the water m its natural boundaries and away f'Om the public road:., every endeavour being nw'e to diotribute tbe storm water fairly m the natural channels throughout the district." .Seconded by Mr E, Chapman. Mr Drummond thought/ that Mr Wason's aeheme would not relievd tbe roads.

Mr jTriedlauder could not see any diffdrenee between paying a rate to take the water away m a channel and paying a heavy rate for road jn »int<»rtance. He thought that the water should be taken either into the Bakaia or d )wn the plains, jrrhlcbever was found the cheapest. JVIr Wallace suggested tha 1 ; all the storm waiev could be turned into the Sp-ingfield cbanuei withont much expense. Mr Cfetonsron pointed onfc that tbo channel wad inadequate for the present quantity. Mr Wallace was of opinion the channel eonld be enlarged. Mr Drummond asked it Mr \V-*son was « member of the County Council when the Belmont filter basin was made to rak the water front the dry creek. Mr Wason thought he was hot. Mr Henderson (Belmont) 3s a very old resident in -he di-tticb pointed out than the course on which the filter basin wna placed iad nothing to do wi h the dry creek. Io his opinion far less water came over the pf»ios now than formerly. He Mr Wason's motion. JMr McMillan supported Mr Wason's taction. He was witb Mr JB»xter when be laid off the filter basin. He took Mr Baxter first to the dry creels, bat Mr Baxter said he wanted to go to _ dry creek nearer tha ftakaia. They then went .jo Belmont. :

Mr Wallace moved as an amendment I which Mr Dent s^condi d — ''That a tiurvtyo" be employed by the Board to , prepare plans and estimates of the cost of ] carryino; the water into either river." Me Baker moved as a further amend ment, and Mr Brown seconded— "That, the proposals embodied m Mr Holmes' , letter be adopted." Mr Baker's amendmenb was lost, 6 for, 7 against. Mr Wallace's amendrueut was lost, 7 , for, 9 agairisb, Mr Wason's motion was carried, 11 for, i 4 against. Mr Friedlander suggested that the i surveyor employed be instructed to report -, on diversiona of water, particulars of , which ho had not at hand bub would i supply at a future time. A vote of thanks to the Chairman, ; carried by acclamation, concluded the ■; business.
