COUNTY COUNCIL.

I Following completes our report :— I ' GRAZING PERMITS. The applications of Mr and Mrs Corbitt ' for gracing permit of two sections on the riverbed were remitted to the Engineer for his report. CHARITABLE AID. The Women's Political League, Christ* -<«™ church, wrote urging the appointment of women to the Charitable Aid Board. The Council received the letter, and the. ulerk was inttricted to reply that the Council wat restricted to its own members in ohoosing a representative. ■ EALING ROAD. Mr E. G. Wright wrote stating that he had had two interviews with the general manager of railways in regard to the direct road to Rangitata Bridge at Ealing, and had found the difficulties greater than he had imagined. The department declined to coo* cede any land near the present station, v they contemplated removing the station in order to cut down the g«-ade of the line at the north end of the bridge. The Depart* , menr would concede the land adjacent to I lots 4 and 7, but insisted on the fencing being done. The remainder of the land would have to be purchased from freeholders, and from the Crown Lands Department, In the circumstances of the cost and the proposed removal of the station, it would be for the Council to consider the wisdom of going on with the work at present. Mr Wright was thanked for the pains he had taken, and the matter dropped. MCAftTHUR'S WATKB SUPPLY. The Sub-Committee appointed to consider this question reported that in the case of the homestead supply and laud adjacent to Houston's, Mr McArthur had no cause for complaint, and the Committee cannot recom mend any remission of water charges. In regard to the severance in the corner of the paddock adjoining the gone fence drain, the Committee were of opinion that any small disadvantage by the severance is more than made up by the advantages obtained from that same water race on Mr MaArthur's property adjoining Houston's through the watering of 150 acres at the minimum charge of twenty chains; and further the Committee recommend that the alteration* *' "* as suggested in the Engineer's report may be earned out at the expense of those interested if desired. The teport was adopted, and a copy ordered to be sent to Messrs McArthur and Bell.

WATER CHARGES. The Chairman's aciiou in regard to the recovery of overdue water charges, in en gaging counsel to prosecute defaulters, wae endorsed. THK "VOLTOB RESERVE." The olicitor'a opinion setting forth the position of the County Council in regard to ;he police reserve, applied for by the A. and P. Association, wax read, and ordered to be forwarded to the Association. J Mr Williamson went over the whole ground i a - A lucid speech, in which he showed just exactly whit tho Association wanted, and why they wanted this reserve. The Association was quite aware the Council had. , » no power to vest the reai.r vein the Association, only the Goveruor-in-Council could do that, but it was nothing unusu<l—-in fact a thing done every day—to change the purpose of a reserve and revest it in some other body. He traced tho history of the reserve, and the one which wae now used as a saleyaid, and contended that the revesting of the police reserve in the Association would not in any way clash with the interests of the Council or of the Saleyirds Company, as the Association would take over the land with all its engagements. He hoped the Council would do its best to facilitate the re-vesting of the reserve. Mr Chapman spoke in a similar strain, urging that the Association only wanted a home, so that they would be in a position to erect the necessary buildings suitable for running a show in the way that it Bhould be conducted. Mr Williamson gave notice to move— " That this Council consents to have reserve 2644, now vested in this Council, as part of a CAttlo market, transferred and revested in the Ashburton A. and P. Association for the purposes of a Show ground." ROLL ALTEAATIONS. Roll alterations forwarded by the Road Boards and others were sanctioned. WATER CONCESSIONS. Water supply applications were granted as uuder: -Mr W. Straehan, Chatmow estate, and Messrs Sloan and Ellis. One application was refused and another referred to the Engineer. NEXT MEETINfi. Next meeting was fixed for November 24, and the. holidays for November 9 and 12. Doa COLLARS. Tenders for dog collars were ordered to be invited for next meeting, at which also the question of their sale would be considered. The Council then adjourned.
