The Chairman said the planß and site had been submitted to Dr McGregor, who was perfectly satisfied with them. Had they been r- m possession of £1009 or more they could have built a separate establishment that would have satisfied all parties. He did not ie think the article was worth the time de- |Q voted to it by those who had referred to it. Had the reporters been present perhaps a ie different complexion might have been placed upon it. • * [c Air Paul said a report had appeared m the Press the following day, be having been r present at iht meeting. c The Chairman said if that were so a record of the proceedings similar to the w minute had been pul> isliefl. ( f_ After Mr Chapman had expressed his astonishment on seeing this artiole, which was so very much astray from the facto of , the case, r The Chairman said there was no more business to tramaob, and the Council ad* journed. . • . * NOTICES OF MOTION, 1 The following notioes of motion were j handed to the Chairman : — Mr Williamson to move at nexb ordinary r meeting — " That this Council assent to and 3 assist the Ashburton A. and P. Association , to have reserve 2644 transferred to and j vested m the said Association as a show , ground." , Mr Chapman to move—" That the resolu- [ tion with reference to rangers impounding cattle on the riverbed be repoinded." | Mr Herring to move— "That the engineer ! have authority to grant permission to settlers to irrigate their gardens where he considers that there is sufficient supply available for , such temporary purpose ; applications to be made m writing. ' Mr Harper to move — "That the water j. races m the Ashburton-Rangitata district, supplied from the south branch of the Ash- burton river, be enlarged, and m future ', maintained by thia Council as a charge against the district fund " i Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— Soldiers i and Sailors.— These well-kxown and easily used remedies are especially serviceable and convenient for those who, like soldiers and sailors, are exposed to great changes of climate, and the hardships inseparable from j their calling. Many of the diseases en- { gendered m the system from these and other untoward causes can be checked and con- trolled by attention at their onset, and m Holloway's remedies will be found a ready means of relief, without hindrance, from duty. Many a man ia invalided and rendered more or less a burden to himself and friends from neglect of the early symptoms of his complaint, which calamity might be averted by timely resort to tha use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment.

COUNTY COUNCIL. a's . • eD Following completes our reporb of yeste day's meeting: — ~ RIVERBED GRAZING. &p Mossrß Croy and Ryan waited on th at Council regarding tbe grazing of stock o the Ashburton riverbed. - The Cltrk read the resolution of th t y Council giving the right, to graze stock t persons only who held property fronting th riverbed. _ The Chairman said the Council m face c a this resolution had no power to assist th :( j deputation. [y Mr Chapman said the resolution as it not a stood was unworkable, and gave notice o motion to rescind the resolution. A COMPLAINT, MrG. Baxter, of Buapuna, interviewee ' the Council, and complained that Mi d Baxter, the Engineer, had robbed him of hii 8 » water supply. He wanted no more ad vantage than his neighbors, and was willing - to pay a fair sum for the cost of anothei )r race. He was at present using a pone ;( j service, whioh had, however, been cub of l t by the ranger. s | The Chairman said ib was very wrong foi #< any settler to come to the Council and make 1 improper statements regarding the Council's - officials— statements thab were not borne d out by faot; To give him any greater eupply a than he had would be at the oost of the other settlers, and thia the Council would not do. It would be better if Mr Baxter, " instead of coming to the Council with wild a atementa about the officers would m future '• write any complaint he had to make. '*, TAMPERING. ' The minutes ot the meeting on December 1, of the Tampering Committee were read, • showing that the early offenders had been t strongly cautioned, m the belief that thab i' would be enough. Subsequent events how- b ever, had shown that cautions were useless, r and ib would be necessary to bake stronger r measures. 2 Mr Johnston said he thought the Com- - mittee had been too lenient, and if defaulters 8 were not punished for these offenc6B the I rangers would very soon give up reporting v offenders. After some discussion on the subject of - tampering, Mr Herring said they ought to 1 be very lenient m these times, and he w*.B a of opinion that the Engineer should be em- j powered to give liberty to irrigate small* , areas where he was of opinion that it could 5 be done without injury or injustice to others. Mr Harper paid such a proposal would be s unfair to Mr Baxter, aud m work would lay [» him open to charges of favoritism. Ie was r the duty of the Council to bear its own 1 burdens, and m tho matcer of water supply 1 there could be only one way of living — one j rule applicable to the whole county. The . water must be conserved everywhere, so that the settlers low down the plains should » have their supply assured. » 'he report of the Tampering Committee i was adopted, and the cases of tampering re* } poned since last meet ing of Committee were 1 handed over to. be deatt with by the ■ Tampering Committee. j ACCOUNTS. 1 Aceountß to the amount of £818 4s 4d , were passed for payment. , WATER RACB CONCESSIONS. Mr Alington, Mr Connell, Mr M. TCal- ) lance, Mr Gallagher, aud Mr W. Cromie were granted water concessions applied for, , and one or two others were held over pend- r ing the public meeting »t the Hinds on • Thursday, January 13. IRRIGATION ASKED FOR. Mr James Brown applied' for irrigation , facilities as provided for under a resolution r passed m 1895. He would require pay two \vaterings m the year, and the water de- ■ livered at the corner of his section opposite the Wakanui Fchool, m sufficient quantity to irrigate 300 acres. He presumed he 3 would have to be;ir the whole expense  single handed, and m that case desired iu- j fotmui'>n as to the amount of water per j minute that could be supplied, the yearly » ccsr, or the charge for a given amount of I water m a given time. , The letter was referred to the Engineer to consider and report at nexb meeting. A letter from Mr John Cochrane, also f asking for irrigation facilities waß held over 9 1 to the special meeting a fortnight hence. DOG COLLARS. Several appointments for the sale of dog c collars were made. a BARLEY GRASS. The Canterbury A. and P. Association wrote urging the Council to take steps to eradicate barley grass from the public roads. The Council resolved that it would be willing 0 to at-Bißt, bub had no power over bhe roads. ,1 ROLL ALTERATIONS. Several roll alterations were sanctioned. SI AUGHTERHOUSE LICENSES. a Twenty-five applications were made for a renewal (or otherwise) of slaughterhouse , licenses, but certain complaints as to nuis- • ance and waste of water having reached the ,' Conncil, no licenses were granted pending '.' the Engineer's repoffc m each case. ' MINOR IRRIGATION. Mr Harper moved that the Engineer -> reporb on the advisablenesa of taking water if out of the Rakaia near the township for a ,» minor irrigation scheme. He thought the „ information might be ready for the special t meeting. The motion was agreed to. RATES. The Clerk was instructed to sue for over- duo rates for 1895 and 1896. tt * THE HOSPITAL. y Mr Harper moved the adjournment of the n Council, to put himself m order. At a full it meeting of the Council and the Borough It Connsil, forming the body having charge of v the hospital affairs of the district, held to a deal with the question of erecting a memorial of the Diamond Jubilee and other buiiness, he was appointed Chairman m the absence of Mr Wright. The reporters of the press had evidently had no intimation '■ of the meeting, and were not present. Ia " oonpequenoe of this there was no full or true 8 report of what was done ab tho meeting, - and he was astonished to find appearing iv st one of the papers statements which were quite untrue, and charges made against himself which were certainly not m accord- ance with truth. &.b that meeting the B> convalescent ward was discussed, and a n Bcheme decided upon without tho slightest : " dissension from any one, notwithstanding '!: thab the fullest liberty of discussion had 4 been given. The meeting had sat for an - hour un<l a half, and had they been Billing 13 m committee they could have had no L * greater license. The general scheme had nob been opposed at all, and the only - alterations on the plans had been m small - matters of detail. Yet an article had , appearead m a paper published m this town JJ iv which it had been said that ho (Mr 1 Harper) had burked discussion. He read • the portion of the artiole which he took • exception to, as being incorrect. His only reason for bringing up this question now was to give those present an opportunity of ° saying m what way he had aitempted to '• buike discussion. Ib must havo been some one who was present ab tho meeting, but - who wrote from a memory warped by bias, c who supplied tho information upon which s that article was based, and he wou'd like to kuow who. Ib was who was prepared to say to the paper m question thab he had burked discussion, and waß not brave » enough to say it at the meeting. Instead of r burking discussion, he had allowed every ■ latitude m discussion till those who were ■ present began to get anxious to get away, but all aeemed perfectly at one m the adoption of the scheme, as the minute of the 1 meeting (read by the clerk) had showed. j Mr Williamson bore oub Mr Harper's i statement, and spoke strongly against the , article m the paper referred to. He seemed to be under the impression that it was the Guardian thab was the alleged misleader, ' but on oorregtioQ mads the necessary
