COUNTY COUNCIL.

The usual monthly meeting of the Ash barton County Council was held to-day< Present—-Messrs 0 J Harper (chairman), H Friedlander, J Lftmbie, E G Wright, S 8 Chapman, M gtitt, GAM Buckley, and W Morgan. On the minutes being disposed of, Mr Wriftht called in question the aotlon of the Chairman and those members of the Council who had criticised his statements and conduct in various matters during his absence from the Council. He mentioned the remarks made about the mill intake dispute, and the difference between the Anama Road Board and the Council, and the Chairman replied. (A fall report of this matter is unavoidably held over).

The bneineis done by the Chairman since hut meeting was approved of. kngiheeb's report.

The engineer's report was read as follows : Ashbnrtoc-Rakaia Water Supply, — The excessive floods of the 17th and 18th init. and 28th and ?.9th caused some damage, and considerable blooksge at the various intakes, but these have been cleared, aad the necessary repairi are being executed. At Pudding Hill the river bank scoured out in the vicinity of the concrete charme), Q(C9Bsitating some fascine work and protec tion there, as also on the northern bank abovo the dam. No damage was occasioned In the dam or weir, but eocs'derable scour took place at) the tail of ihe latter, which will be secured with scrub The extent of river bank being protected here is about twenty chains. Below the Pudding Hill bridge considerable encroachment took place on tho northern bank, and about an acre of tbe reserve has baen washed away. Some protection should be put in there for about ten ohaina in length, to save the reserve and bo safeguard the auxiliary channel, which is ■ituated a short distance lower down. At the intake of the Wakanui creek there haa been considerable ove< flow of the river into the creek, which was flooded for two days. The intake from the Bakaia river haa not; Buffered damage, so far, A good dtal of clearance in necessary at Winchmore. Proposed Removal of Borough R*ce, at Allenton, from the Alford Forest Road.— I am of opinion that the best solution of this matter would be the construction of a Bflw race, extending from the present) race on Winter's Road at ita junction with. Andrew Street), pasting through private property on the line indicated on map, to join the existing race at the junction of Alford Foreab with Ihe north-west town bait. This race, 36 chains in length, would have to bo about 4£ feet wide on an average, and 18 inches deep. I estimate the oost of earthwork, which would be mostly manual labour, at £34; fords for six stroeb crossings £24, and works for crossing gully £20—in at! £78, exclusive of any accommodation work* which might be required for the Tarioas sections* If an extension of the race were made to Farm Road, the addi tional length would ba about 35 chains, and the additional oosb £48, including a Same across the gully. With regard to the ques tion of branch racne, I may state that the depth of the race at the junction of Farm Road with Wiafetr'i Road is about four feet, aati the extension to Alford Forest Road would b» the same depth, no that in that Itoallty the water could not be got on to the iuriaot, and the district lower down is so intersected with gullies of considerable width and depth that ehe cost of construction and maintenance, etc, would ba heavy. The fixing of the main, however, is the principal item, and the branches with the beat points of dlaoharge at the borough boundary would, as regards the latter, be a matter of arrange ment with the Borough Council.

County Bridges—Very litble repair has been necessary during the month. The clearing and widening approach to stock bridge, Ealing, was effected recently. Some work will be neceaaary at Mayfield Stock Bridgs to keep the channel within the limits of the bridge, as the Hinds river recently overflowed and diverted the channel to the south side of the bridge.

County Plantations—The ploughing, &c, of 142 acres near Valetta tanks, and also the sowing with gum S9eds, have been completed. The fencing of the reserve opposite Chelmsford ia in hand, and gorse grubbing in some of the plantations will be commenced immediately.

Ashburton - Rangitata Water Supply— Some intermission haa been canned during tha month by blockages at intake of the Soafch Aenbnrton Rivei, and also by high wiada, but snpplieii are now nearly restored. A» regarda the new race authorised for Meaara Giddinga, *0., near Hinds, the Railway Department) wilt reply ia a few dayi, »a to granting the uae of cut verb under railway for the proposed supply. Mr Wright said ilio willows growing above and btlow tha bridge required to be attended to. A letter from Mr Williamson w&n read bearing on the recent flooding of the river, also complaining of hia land having been ofeiflowed, and advising the stopping of culvert erosiing Alford Forest road. The engineer asid the water wbb fljwiaß over both above and bslow the intake. Mr Stitt suggested that the oulvert be clooked op. it wa« agreed that the culvert be blooked up, (Left Sitting)
