COUNTY COUNCIL.

tDhe follc" ing completes our rtport of yesterday's meeting :— At one ('c-nck the Council adjourned for luncheon, and at two o'clock several further •plications for water race avLGmliom were dealt with. JUBILEE OELEBBATION. The Aahbur oo Borough Council, rapre seated by the Mayor, Or* Thomas, Reid, and Paul waited on the Council m regard to the Jubilee celebration, but previous to the hearing of the deputation, The Chairman said the Borou* h Council bad no definite proposal to make. He mi not aware that the County Council had any, but he understood from what he could gather from his reading of the Queen's desire, that it was her wish that charitable or benevolent institutions should be established or helped m commemoration of her jubilee. He thought the Old Men's Home was a diiection m which any money collected should be bestowed. He suggested the pur chase of a fresh site for the Hornet and the erection of new buildings, and the selling of the old ones for what they would bring. There was a fund lying m suspense* which m time would be available to devote to the erection of a new buiding, Mr Harper was m favor of this, bat ha mentioned whe Old Women's Home at Wool sum as an institution worthy of their atten tion. He desired, however, to point out that the Home was provincial and not loc±l. The Chairman said the Council was not liable for a sixpence m connection with the Home. It was maintained by the Charit able Aid Board. But he thought they might take the initiative, provide a site, and as much money as they could towards building, and leave the matter for the proper authori ties to deal with. Thie was a far healthier district than Christohurch, and perhaps the best m the county for the home, Mr Stitt and Mr Cameron favored the Chairman's views. The deputation then interviewed the Council. The Mayor said the Borough Council had thonght it wise, before taking any steps, to approach (he Couuty Council with a view to securing joint action, the more especially that the matter would be a county one and Dot one confined to the borough. He sug gested a joint committee of both Councils, to consult as to what was best to be done. It was a notable occasion that could nob occur again m a generation, t>nd though he did not fancy much money would be raised, it was well that they should be at one on the matter. The Chairman asked m what way the Borough Council thought the oocasion should be marked. " ; The Mayor eiid it had been suggested chat a pavilion iv the park would be suit ■*ble. Mr Thomas and Mr Reid having spoken, The Cltaitman said the erection of a paviliou was desirable, but it was only m Jie direction of providing for their- own tsomfort. Her Majesty's deeire was m the direction of charity and benevolence, and he thought the Old Men's Home was an iustitu< lion iv which they could take some interest m this matter, and try to do something to wards building a new Home. They might ■ake some steps towards inducing the Uhuritable Aid Boaid to buy a new site— ' ay 100 acres. The present site was * valuable one, but it was too small, 500 t'ji'.-a id Highbank had been suggested, but that had fallen through. TfcTey could secure i site, or provide fu&ds to do that, and i.iant it so that when the Charitable Aid Board was m a position to build, the site would be ready. This was a purpose m tvhich all the county could very well take a and ; and though he did not object m one sense to a procession, the biowiig of trumpets, and the building of a pavilion, yet these were not what the county might ie expected to fall m with. The Mayor said the Borough Council had some to no conclusion m connection with the uelebration. They were not bound to the pavilion or anything else. He only gave the opinion that had been treviously ex* pressed by people m town, be favored the Old Men's Home idea certainly. Air Thomas thought the Hf me idea was a very good one, and the Borough Council would join m with it. Mr Harper pointed out that £1 for £1 would be available for the Home. The Chairman thought being so far agreed on the matter, the Council would appoint a day on which to meet the Bore ugh Council to consult. THE DOMAIN. Mr Thomas said another matter m which the Borough Council was concerned was the Domain. They knew the Domain was a County concern, and was only m the hande of the Borough Council to work. The Borough Council could do nothing with it beyond that, and they spent from £70 to £100 every year. The expenditure was nob for the Borough alone, but for the whole count}'', and he thought the County Council should contribute a little. The expenditure of £75 was m excess of the income, and he ■ thought the County Council should pay one third of this. The Chairman said the subject would be considered if the whole case were put m writing. RAILWAY SEBVICE, Mr Thomas dwelt at some length on the railway passenger traffic between Christ- Church and Ashbuiton, and pointed out the delays that occurred on the morning and evening trains, There had been serious de lays of late, and he would submit a resolu tion on the subject. Mr Bullock spoke on the subject. The trains were slower now than they were when the railways were laid down. Eleven years ago the time between Chriatchurch and Ashbur'ton was three hours. The even ing train now was three hours twenty minutes. The morning train over the same distance was two hours forty five minutes. He saw no reason why the evening train should not cover the distance m the same time that the morning train did. The Mayor tpok« m favor of acceleration. The Chairman said it would be hardly possible for the County Council to bring about a change. What was wanted was a manager who would have more consideration for the convenience of the public. Inci dental delays such as during the holidays at Easter would be bo argument iv favor of m general acceleration ot the trains, but he thought the evening and the morniDg trains should take about the same time and the midday tiain south run every day. That day the midday train had run forty-five minutes later because'the engine had been overladen. Mr Bullock pointed oub that the whole question of timing trains was done from Christchurch and not from Ashburton, so that the stationmaster who should be m by far the best position to say where the even ing tiain from Christchurch should cross the expr<Bß, had nothing to do with it. The Mayor and Mr Reid having spoken m favor of Mr Wright taking the matter m hand, The Chairman said he had no objection '"" to do so, but be wished to point out that there waa the danger of the member for the district being accused of casting about for popularity, unless the complaint of the ' Borough, backed ujp by the Council, were put ia his hands by those bodies, and m writing. The deputation then withdrew. A Sub Committee consisting of the Chair man, Messrs Harper, Stitt, Williamson, and Cameron waa appointed to deal with the Jubilee memorial question conjointly with the Borough Council.
