COUNTY COUNCIL;

Following concludes our report: — SMALL BIRDS Mr Harper for the Small Birds Nuisance Committee reported having held a Con ference with delegates from the Borough Council, a!) which ib had been resolved to ask the Borough to pay a proportion of tea percent, of the money annually paid ia the Wakanui, Longbeacb, and Upper Ashburton Road districts, for heads and eggs, whether collected in these districts or in the boroughi Mr Harper pointed out that a Small Birds Nuisance Act existed, which, pub in force, would compel the. Borough to contribute to this cost* It wm nob considered desirable to pub this Act in fores if the Botough "Council would consent to this arrangement, which was the easiett way of computing the proportion that the Borough should have to pay. He believed the borough would pay this proportion, be cause being in the peculiar position of not being able to poison the birds?, they were reduced to the only means in their power of dealing with the nuisance—viz., catching the birds and collecting the eggß. After some discussion' the report was adopted. Cameron's intake The Committee on Cameron's intake nob having been uaanimouSj had nothiug to re pott, aod requested the whole Council to deal with the matter. Consiiewtion of th> subject was then proceeded with by the Council as a whole. Mr Harper sail any question as to the miking of a new intake or the breaking of Mr ' ameroi.'s agreement was foreign to tbo sulij ot bufore tho Council. What th>: Ounucii had to do wis to eee^ that Messrs Mur-g»u, Thompson, Lynes, and any other* woto cuppiioii with watr. Mr Cameron was wiling to allow the rates f r ilie water 10 be c.-Utob-d, provided the man v-as supplifl'i with v. little more water. Mr Harper dil i-o 1, -hints; there whs any ueOr-ss.ty f'lr -a.i\ incre.v-e, and if such wire made he was afraid n would be at the cx penae of tome othe.f locality. He thought by a ii..la friend y atrac.gemetit with Mr Cameron iha matter nouid be sottlsd, and water given to the setters iatercated. llu moved that Mr C-imercn be requested to enter into ;iu agreement with the Council to supply Mesaia Morgan, Milohe:!, and others with water from the present intake for the auxiliary channel Mr Johnston held thar, Mr Cameron, wlio owned a large and profitable estate, had received a couct-ssion troin the C >uncil of a valuable character, and the whole settlers in the district were contributing to the main tenance of the conceesion. It was not for him to enter into any discussion as to how or why the Council had granted the con cession to Mr Cimeron. The speaker said it was no part of the Council's duty to give concessions of this uature, and he moved that an intake be provided higher up the river, aod clear of Mr Cameron's !an<?. Mr Holmes seconded the amendment. He thought Mr Cameron when he had the opportunity would have been more graceful had be handed over the water without charge to the Bottlers, Mr Harper said the settlers could not be watered without bringing the races through Mr Cameron's land, and the politic way was to give him the chance of giviDg his neigh bors waier. Mr Stitt said all tho concession Mr Cameron appeared to give was the land through which the raca was taken, the graz ing of whioh he had had all the time. The settiers felt somewhat keenly that they should receive their water from a private race He thought if the members of the Council had visited the land before the con cession was granted, it would not have been given. The Chairman took exception to some remarks of Mr Johnston as to how or why - Mr Cameron had got the concession, and which remarks appeared to rtflscb on the previous Council by whom the concession had been given. It would be well perhaps that it should be known that many years ago, when this concession was granted, there was less value attached to the water than there is now, and as the only way of secur ing land from private persons for water race purposes was by the costly means of the Public Works Act, he thought there was no blame or reflection upon the Council of the day. Mr Williamson said as a new intake would coet £230, and to make it would be no hardship to Mr Cameron, he thought the time had come to get rid of this one-sded agreement, and do justice to the ratepayers, Mr Cameron had been enjoying a benefit of between £40 and £50 per annum for several years, and eurely it was cheaper to pay £230 and get rid ot this. Mr Lambie favored the amendment, and was averse to the existence of two ay stems— one under the control of tho Council and 'another under a private individual. He had no with to break any agreementlegally made, but he was averse to the dual system. Mr Chapman thought the agreementhadbeen already broken by Mr Cameron, who had sold the water to others. He objected to the control of the water being in the hands of a private party, and the rights and interests of Iha ratepayers should be conserved. Mr Honing said Mr Cameron had claimed the water arising from certain springs on land not belonging to him bub to the Council as a plantation reserve. Not only did he get one-tenth of the water in the large channel, but this water Torn th"> springa on the Council's land was fiumed over ihc channel and carried away to another portion of his estate. £Ud the members of the

'Council at the time had the fullest know ledge of the position of affairs, the concession would not have been given. Mr Johnston's amendment was carried, and a copy of ib was ordered to be sent to Mr Cameron. PAYMENTS- Accouufcs to the amount of £935 lla Id were passed for payment. ASHBORTON-RAKAIA ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE. The report of the Committee set up to in quire into the charging in the past of certain sums to the account of the Aehburton water supply district was brought up for discussion It had been adjourned for Beveral meetings in auccession, bub was now considered. The items were taken in succession. The first was the charging of costs incurred in the Council's dispute with the Messrs Holmes, £600, and the reporb recommended the charging of the amount to the general account. After discussion, this recommenda tion was adopbed, the division being, ayeß— Messrs Johnston, Lambie, Holmes, Sdtt and Chapman—s ; noes — Mesßrs Williamson, Herring, Harper and Wright—4. The second recommendation—that £200 paid to Mrs McLean be also charged to the general country account —was rejected. The clause regarding the connection of the twe branches of"tho Ashburton river was struck out. The clause regarding the Actou Estate was not, cairi< d and the final clause was struck cut, and the preamble of the report wa.e re■jsctrd. NEXT MEETING It. wps decided to hold a special meeting on Tuesday week to adopt a special order mejarding he Knapunw. loan.

There were many visiting buyers, but the local competition was so keen that prices rose above the limits that the visiting buyers cared to go. The young draught mares, many of which were of very nice quality, were eagerly sought after, and in fact, all the broken draught stock realised exception ally good values. They were all well bred, and the mares were all in foal to Prince Consort and King's Pride.

Debility.

SOME HINTS FOR THIS WEATHER

HOW TO KEEP HEALIHY.

General debility is a state which is generally caused by a combination of ! nervous exhaustion, indigestion, deranged ! liver, and constipation. 16 is brought aboub by the system being run down. The functions of the body are irregular and weak, the waste matter is not carried off properly, the biood becomes poor, and the complexion sallow. The whole system, in cases like this, needs " toning up." The diet must be regulated, and a remedy must be taken that will put the digestive organs in thorough working order. For this work, Bile Beans for Biliousness are the very best specific, as they act in a gentle manner, and are so compounded that they repair the waste of th-a norvous system, and make pure, rich blood. Bile Beana on every hand are effecting cures for debility and all summer complaints, such as loss of tone, lack of physical force, etc, etc. They come within the reach of all ; and that the great tnass of Australians appreciate this facb ia illustrated by the fact that last year over 20 million doses wore taken in Australia alone. Bile Beans are sold by chemists and storekeepurs generally, or | sent direct from the Australian depot, 39 Pitt S reet, Sydney, post pud, on receipt of the price In stamps or post order, Is Iflper b x,
