. COUNTY OOTOOIL. {Che following completes our" report of '■:. yaaterd&y's meeting :— ; WHEATSTOMS DRAIN ' Mr James Croy and Mr A. A. Fooks, a j deputation from the Longbeaoh Road Board, £ waited on the Counoil 00 the sublet of the :: i concrete work in' connection with the .3 Wheatßlone drain, which was before the : Council at a recent meeting. Mr Croy said . ~ . that since the deputation had previously in- terviewed the Counoil it had been.ascet tamed that the damage to the concrete had been caused by the water race. Theßoard had asked ; the Council to bear a share of the cost of re- • instating the concrete work, but they had • refused, and the repairs had consequently • been done by the Board. In doing this »-.* work the men who hadexecuted it had found ; that the trouble had been caused by the ' County's race washing out booh wall and floor- of the concrete. The undermining of the concrete w'aa caused by on overflow from the CounOil's flume.  Mr Fooks bore out Mr Croy'a Statement, adding that the water j .from the race had also peculated through the ter ace, and 4 from both sources there had been a. washiiig,out. "She deputation m these oircumßtanoea contended ' that the ■ Couooil'a race had contributed to the damage, ' ! and -}fjbe Counoil were therefore m duty bound to contribute to the repair of the j concrete work'> After eevcral questions had been askeofof ' r^ the deputation, it wan proposed that Messrs " % Chapman, Stitt, and the Chairman-be a com- - mittee te inspect the work that had been done, and ascertain m how far the Council's action was contributory to the dimage. >. Mr Williamson opposed this, aa he was '/tr perfectly Bure the damage had not bees j- , ■ caused by the Council's race, but by the 1 flood water of the district. Mr Baxter did not believe the Council's race had anything to do with the damage. Mr Johnetone was of the same opinion as Mr Willitms'n. " - The Chairman said that it was better -for the satisfaction of the ratepayers that a . Committee of .the Council should go and m- I »pect and report. _ 'i The Committee wa9 appointed. ' ' SPECIAL ORDEBS. . The Cba ; .rman said that the special orders • regarding Nos. 1 and 2 irrigation districts were ready, but it had been found that a de- lay* would be caused by the fact that Wakanui had been constituted a water supply distriot some years ago, and both Noa. 1 and 2 were part m Rakaia and part) m Wakanui. Bsfore, therefore, anything could be done iv the matter of the special orderß before tbem, another would have to be passed to reinstate the old water supply distriot, and this would take well on to three months go do, Ib was much to be re • gretted, but the solicitor said the law was strict on this matter. It would be necessary to hold ' several: special meetings to hurry matters up, but m any case it would throw the irrigation wotk back to about Christinas. ■ The Council agreed to hold these meetings, and decided that at its rising this meeting should adjourn till Tuesday at a quarter to , '■ two to approve of special order* for dii» triotß No. 1 and 2. \- < PRESIDING OFFICERS. It wu.B decided to appoint Mr Harper to preside at the Hindß mooting of ratepayers called to consider irrsg&tion mutters, and the Chaiiman to preside at the Ruapuua meet- ing. THE CBEKK. The solicitor reported that Mr M. _- ;- Mahonty had not übeyed -the- J ordtrs to fill m the channel he had itTegauy^*" """' cut m the Wakanui creek, and had told the (JouDcit'b tffiqera • hat he would not fili iv the channel. The solicitor »sked for instruc- tions. Ib was decided to hold the matter ■jver for further information. ROLL ALTERATIONS. Several roll alterations were sanctioned. RESIGNATION. Mr Dancan Camerou forwarded his reeig- : ation as a member of the Council, as he had left the distriot on a visit to the Old Country. The Cletk was instruated to take the cecessary steps to zz.il the vacancy, and to nave two polling booths m the event of an election — one at Methven and another at Lauriaton. TAMPERING Ranger Morrison reported a case of tam- pering m the Mount Somers Distriot. His letter was referred back to him for further information. ALFORD FOREST DOMAIN AND CEMKTBRY. Mesßra T. E. Fagan and C. J. Me Williams were recommended for appointment to the A! ford Forest Domain Board vice Mr J. H. Ross deceased and Mr E> B- Cooper re- signed ; and for the Cemetery Board Messrs W. T. Chapman, Hugh Muirhead, and G« E. Goldsmith. ACCOUNTS. Accounts to the amount of £770 were passed for payment. LEASEHOLDS. A transfer of planting reserve held by Mr Carroll to Mr G. Keeley was granted, aa also a request by Mr Ferriman m regard to one held by him. Mr £ealy was empowered to plough half of the reserve held by him. birds' heads. Several Road Boards wrote suggesting increases on the emoants decided to be paid for birda' heads by the Council. Mr Harper said that several of the clerks objected, without payment, to have any* thing to do with counting the rotten heads of dead birds, and as most of the clerks were not engaged by their" respective Boards for any duties beyond what was schedu'ed, the Road Boards had no say m the matter. Several of the members thought that the Council had bern very liberal m the matier, and the least thing the Boards could do was to undertake the countii g. If people were 10 be as fastidious as that, it perhaps might be wise to allow the Boards to attend to the small birds nuisance themselves. It was' understood that m future the biys wou'd string the head? m scores on binding or other w.re or strings. HAMPSTEAD WATER SUPPLY. The Hampßtead Town Board wrote for- warding copy of resolution passed at a public meeting of "the town district ratepayer?, asking the Council to take steps to have the district proclaimed an irrigation district. It was resolved thac the Council could do nothing m the matter until they had re* ceived a petition from the ratepayers. WIDE WATER BACKS. . The Mount Hutt Road Board wrote asking 1 that foot bridges be placed over water races m the Mount Hutt Road District.— lt was decided that ..the engineer report as to wfcafc was neoesaary. TJNRFGISTERED DOOS. It was decided to proceed against owners 1 f unregistered dogs after June 1. LOAN POLLING BOOTHS.

THE RANGITATA BRIDXJE ACCIDENT. The chaiiman reported that, as authorised by the Council, he had arranged to satisfy the claim against the Council over the recant accident for £10. The Chairman's action was approved. TENDERS. Tenders for enlarging N race — John Downie ll^d ; and for enlarging P race- John Devery Is 31— were accepted. ORDINARY MEETING.
