COUNTY COUNCIL.

♦ . Following completes our report of yester- DEPDTATIOXB. A deputation from the a. and P. Awooia :on waited on the Council. The interview s leported elsewhere. «*ww Mr A. Mo Arthur, Waterion, waited upon m«n.t°l?oli 5° wmpWn "«»* for twelve months he bad had no water in a raw for which he was charged water rates, and that the water had been taken away to supply other people. He also complained ol a water race which was a nuisance te him, and desired to have it altered. IheftuiiiMr gave the history of Mr McAithur'B water supply, and said that all the arrangements existing on his property haa been what Mr McArthur himself had asked for in soma instances, and agreed to in all. He was in the same oase as all other settlers in the county. The ranger ior the district said the water aoarcifcy in the race Mr McArthur referred to had been brought about by Mr Me Arthur himself, who had declined to have any water ■ that came through Mr Houston's land. Nor was Mr McArthur's ohainage as full as it ought to be—Mr Houston paying the largest share. - Mr MeArthur «aid the ranger was not stating what was in accordance with fact The ranger said Mr Hugo Friedlander, the late chairman, Mr McArthur, and him se.f had had an interview in Mr FriedUnder's office after a visit to Mr McAnhur's plaoe, and Mr McArthur had declined to agree to what was proposed then, sad they could do nothiDg with him. Mr McArthur, who is hard of hearing, said at first he had not had any interview with Mr Hugo Friediander, bub ultimately said ttiat, he had Been Mr Friedladder in his otnee. Mr McArthur having left, the Council discussed die matter. Mr Herring moved that Messrs Stitt, Chapman, and the Chairman be appointed a Committee to visit Mr MoArthnr's property, enquire into the alleged grievance, and report. . ACCpUNTS. Acoounts to the amount of £585 were passed for payment. LEAVE OF ABSEMJK. Leave of absence was granted to Mr E. G. Wright, M.H.R., during the sitting of Parliament, and Mr C. J. Harper was appointed acting chairman and Treasurer during Mr Wr gat's abf eace. PLANTATION ROAD, BALING. Mr Adam Jackson wrote regarding this road. The Eneiuecr'e memo was to the ffecc that the department hud agreed to. give a chain strip the greater part of the way, provided it was fenced. The chairman had the papers with him in Wellington with •x view to get the department to forego the question of fencing. The matter was held over. carter's obkkk. The Tinwald Town Board wrote asking he Couucil to reconsider its decision with. cefereuoe to bridging or otherwise Carters Ueek. The Board was of opinion that a U:ep ford in a street where there was great raffiu was undesirable, and a footbridge wa* adicpenDable. The Board asked the Counoil o make its grant £35 instead of £20, so hat a concrete bridge or culvert could be put down. > Seme discussion took place on the subject, -tier which Mr Johnston moved that tho ■Jouncil did not ccc its way to increase its mbsidy to the Tinwald .Town Board, aad. * >\r Uiiipmm moved for "aa increase to £35, »s asked for by the Town Bnard. • ■'■H The Clerk sai.i thft Town district paid ;jv(}ry second jear. fiJIB 12* jin county rate:; j dampßtead paying about t!W bame. TheChairmau said that when those Boards c.vme ineo existence they uki so with their jyes open, aud oue of the responsibilities '-hey took over was the maintenance of the Ureat Noiuh R^a.l. The Council heard iiot-hinp of this io»d when it was under the control of the Longbeacli Road Board, and t.he £20 had only been passed as an ex ceptional matter because of the bridge. The motion to stand by the £20 subsidy was carried. ALTERATIONS ON ROLL. Several roil alterations were sanctioned. RATES REMITTED. The rates of Ambrose Fox were remitted on the plea of poverty. RIVERBED GRAZING. A small piece of riverbed, adjoining Mr Isaac iSargeut's land, was let to him at £1 per annum. REVBNUB. The Clerk submitted a short statement of accounts, showing balances at July 29,1897 ; estimated revenue for the year ending July 29, 1898, with id per £1 rate-£7050 j and accounts in credit and overdrawn. It. was resolved to strike a id in the £1 rate at the meeting in January, WATER RACE APPLICATIONS. Applications for race facilities and con cessions were granted to Messrs S. Rnox, F. Morland and Hinds, Corbett and Trevurza, W. Harrison, Thompson Brennan, W. M. Giles, Joseph Brown (Mount Somers fencing), Bulmer and Harris. Several others were postponed. RIVERBED LAND. Mr M. Digby applied for liberty to occupy laud in the riverbed between the Council's reserve 1413 and the river, but the Council declined to consent, as Mr Digby was not a landowner with property adjoining. STRAY STOCK. A long discussion took place on the ques tion of reinstating the resolution which had been struck out of the minutes in regard to stray stock. An addendum was moved by Mr Cameron, giving permission to settlers on the riverbed to graza stock. Mr Stitt seconded, aad at the close ot thediscussion Mr Cameron's motion was carried by 5 to 3. WEST COAST ROAD. Voluminouus conespoudence on the sub^ jeeb of the West Coast road was laid on the tahle, but, consideration of the whole was adjourned for a month. . - RANOEB.

Of which 1000 fully paid up Shares are to he issued to the Vendor, 500 Shares to be reserved for future issue if necessary. 2500 Shares remaining are offered on the following terms :—Payable Ten Shillings per Share on Application, and the balance, Ten .Shillings per Share on Allotment. PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS: Joseph Scaly, J.P., Seed Merchant, Mayor of Aahburton ; Kiohard Bird, Architect, Ashburton j Henry Davis, Hotelkeeper, Aahburton; Francis Scrint, Farmer, Ashburton; Isaac Sargent, Sheep Farmer, Ashburton. BANKERS: The Bank.of New Zealand, Ashburton SOLICITOR R. M. COTHBBRTSON, ASHBURTON. , SECRETARY: William Home, Ashburton. BROKER: N. Dunlop, Ashburton and Wellington mHIS COMPANY is being formed for X X . the purpose of acquiring from the vendor the sole patent rights held and ap plied for by him in the above invention in all parts of the world. rJhe vendor to receive £1000 in shares, and £500 in cash for the rights acquired by him, the whole interest in, and the title to which are handed over to the Company. It is proposed by the promoters of this Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight >f pacific, and dispose of the same to the best advantage, and it is confidently a oticipated that the sale of the above m^n tiotied specific which is increasing daily, will realise a very handsome return to the shareholders. The .mixture can be safely applied to al parts of the tree from the fall of the leaf till the bursting of the buds again in Spring. The:«fcein an&'nMtintoranchei^may be safely dressed at any period of the year. One good dressing will be found a most effectual cure for Scale Blight, and the tree will not re quire further dressing for years. For Aphis, Red Spider, Codlin Moth, and all Mosses or Lichens, Wheelband's Patent Blight Specific will be found a most effectual remedy. It will also promote a healthy vigorous growth of wood, and a plentiful crop of prime, clean fruit. < The above advantages are admitted by leading Nursery Experts a? being the only means of destroying Scale Blight and Codlin Moth, increasing the growth and keeping the tree in a fresh and healthy condition at a cheap and reasonable coat. In confirma tion that the Specific possesses the requisite qualities it is gratifying to be able to herein add the very satisfactory reports of the ex ceedingly severe tests to which the Specific has been subjected. The specific being manufactured under the care and supervision of the patentee can be sold at the small cost of 10s per gallon, which will undoubtedly leave the Company a handsome profit. Early application for shares is necessary, as a large number are already subscribed for. 9 48 "i I § & & h3 P ft O < g g CO <*» m rh ta oo <z fe w -i a? 51 §s 5 Q j I a a Baker Bros.
