WATER CONCESSIONS TO MR CAMERON.

IO 3PHK BDITOR.

Sir -—Th« Hhf rßiit.y of former Count 1* Councillors O Mr C*ovr"ii m the matter of water giuntfl is the .ui>j.cl of considerable di«cUß»ion, and t.he ciune of strong hut gu»ge amouu i-he C>uiity rjttepayers. Y"U have published his views a« to his rkhte cud cUima set forth m his letter to the County.Cow oil, but his letter i» bo fu^ o; irrelevant dstailsthat it seems to me «nmf condensed explanation of hi« views and prr jiifals on the suljeofc is neoeseaiy to enab! !he r»tep»yerß to fully grasp the situation. ') ha rstepayera now know that name years &30 Mr Cameron ob nined from the County Oounciilom then la ofs:e, a deed of grunt of (he right to one-cesith part of all the water takes by the Couco 1 by means of a oertaic! niftin race then about to be made by the Council through, hit iand, and free from all water rales and ohnrgas. ihe deed pur ported to give him not only the use of the wafer, but also the right to dispose of the right of the water for irrigation purposes. Tbe grant wm and is a most valuable one, worth certainly considerably over £1000. The consideration given by Mr Cameron was the. l«nd through which parb of the main raoewKS led, and m extent say about six norei t rod . worth at the outside says - £40." The ooatirteration wae ao inadequate that one naturally aaki why were such valuable donoeMlone given for ao small a consideration. That I cannot explain or understand. While the grant gave Mr Cameron the right to use the one-renth of ■uch WAter, and to consume it all if he wished tfr do so, it did not give him any tight or power lo charge other persons, thrr>ngh whose,knd»ifc was brought, for the use of it. Seemingly,' Mr Cameron, for reasons he gives, attempted to make such charges, and he thereby came into collision with other ratepayers, who challenged his right", and brought J.fc da ms under review by the pres nt County Council. After dis« oussion and erquiry, a considerable m;>j >v\iy of the Council resolved that Mr Oamoron had no right, eyen under his very liberal deed, to charge his neighbours for the water that flowed from his land through theirs, and that under no circumstances should Mr Cameron, or any ratepayer, have the special benefit of applying as he pleased a special quantity of water from the public river, brought down at the expense of the general ratepayers and that m any case, if ifc were possible, he should not be al lowed to stop tha water when he thought fit, from* goiflg to his neigh bours' lands. Before leaving for Kngland, Mr Cameron had, I believe,, informal notice of what most Councillors thought on t\ie matter, and had an opportunity of then satisfying jiheir wishes, oi which he failed to avail himself. After his departure, the Councillors carefully investigated the whole aue»tio»,- and a majority were bi opinion mt, n*bWithst»nding the deed of grant to him, a new intake could and should be made through the Council's Reserves, and that the Water could be taken from the river without touohing Mr Cameron's land/ and brought into the main race »t a point outside of his land, at» cost of about £300. -The obj ct of the new intake was to take the coutroi of the water entirely out of Mr Cameron's hands and vest it where it should be—in the Council-—and obtnpel Mr Cameron to pay for the water he uae3, as other ratepayers have to do. It was accordingly resolved, by the majority of the Council, that the new intake should be made. The resolution was carried on the strength of the opinion of the Council's solicitor, that the Council cou'.l lawfully make such intake notwithstanding the deed of grmfc to Mr Cameron. Mr Cameron then practically gave tho Council notice~(l) That if anew intake was made and water brought into the existing main race at any poi t of tho race, he wa#~ldvls©d by his counsel he could leg illy compel the Council under the pro visions of his deed to still give him the fu 1 quantity of water free of cost he was now entitled to, and (2) that even if a new intake and a new main raco were nude, that the Courts, m their equitable jurisdiction, would compel the Council to still supply Mr Cameron with ths f«e« wa'er h<3 claimed under his deed, (3) that he, Mr Cameron, waswiling to abandon all claims to charge for water used by his neighbois, and would contest to a, niodifio.itiou of his rights under his deed to ttie extsntof agreeing to restricr his irrigation privileges and to ailow a reasonable quantity of the water received by him uader his deed to pass to his neigh bors. In effect the ouly question betwe-n Mr Cameron and theCounotl now is whether ■ the Oorilic'U cab or 'should force Mr Cameron to p^y rates for the water he g< ta under bis deed. If, mM r Cameron's advisprs allege, he will be v doubJo^ly entitled to his oi>e benth of the wafer free of charge after tho new iota!;c ia made, and the water turned into tlsc ffxistiDg main race, it would be criminally foolish ou the part of the Coin c<l to waste, £300 for no benefit to the rate payers. It would be Btiil more foolish to think of making a new. intake and a new main race, which would bo betwe n fix ami seven miles long, and would cost I believe. about £1000,; until the Council ia assured by the best legal opinions that there would be no grounds then for any legal claims by Mr Cameron to free water under his deed. If such opinion proves ia the Council's favor it will become a matter for debate whether the cost of ir.ivking such new intake and _ main, jcaoe "would be compensated for by 'forcing Mr Cameron to pay rates for the water he gets, because unless it is shown that the amount of additional yearly rates will cover the yearly interest on the expan- j diture necessary to make such intake and I main race it seems to me such expenditure | would not be justifiable. Personally I fail to appreciate the pleasure or profit of cutting { off one's nose to please one's face.—l am, etc., ■' ; ' John Holmes.
