County Council.

JL special meeting of the A-hburtoo County Council was held today, to consider thn report of Mr Napier Bell up in the rc fostatement of drainage to the heal works as Euapana, atsid also the County OoHnoil'a BUI. PrcMßb—Meurs CJHarpar, (chair man), S Chapman, Hugo FnedUnder, J Lambte, W Johnston, and W Morgan.' Apologies «etc received for the absence of Meiara Stitt and E G Wright. MB NAPIKR BEIjL'9 SFPOKT A letter waa received from Mr E Taylor asking the Council to defer deoi»icn in this matter »>Btil a meeting of ratenayera could b* held. And a tatM? wit alao |nati from Ma 8 Oonld upon the report, whicn after ducusaion wu referred back to write*. Mr FnedSander moved that i»ny action with regard to the special report of Mr Napier Bel! be postponed until next snett Ing, wHoh was aeoocded by Mr L-cabie And oanleii.

hit Laiasbie advocated that aa the chair man *na Mr Friedl»arler would be in Wei* lingtoa ahortlj, they nhould be deputed to apply to Gorarnment for a grant in aid of this work, and should point out to Ministers that bhe di*tr<ethsd already |e«n t»xed to its iuH<*»n extent owing to the disaster to the Works, ti WM one of tkt «troQge«t caies ter astiataoee, which oonld be presented, Fufthw he (the speaker) was of opinion that ao farther action should be taken by the Council until after the application to Government had been considered, and he woeld or go that any amount^ applied for should no* be out) too fine, £5000 should be asked. His resolution was as follows:— " That Alensrs Harper and Fricdlandar have the authority of the Council for placing the matter before the Government, with a view •f obtaining a grant in aid towards repair* Jog the Runpnna water works, damaged by the late flood," This wai apoonded by Mr Johnston and carried

Mr Chipman thought thstaa & deputation wia going to Weilingtoa from ihe Council, the ratepayers in the district soacemed should b* notified, as some of them might Aetk* to form another deputation. There oouldbeno objection to this course, and it would be wiie to let them know

Mr Johnston disagreed, as foreign nutters would probably be brought iv, and thus perhaps ' spoil the whole show ' OTB COUNTY COUNCILS' BILL

The Council then proceeded to discubs portions of the new CoantyOooncil's Bill. fhe Chairiiftß however pointed not thit they ceold nob go through the Bill clause by chase, but could give him some idea general^ m to how he ehoald act in their Interests at Wellington. After a general discassfon, the follow ing resolution was carried on ha motion of Mr Lambie, seonded by Mr Chapman : •* That in the opinion of this Council the provisions of the Comities Bill as proposed to he introduced by the oof Rrsmenti are no improvement on the present system of local government; •Iso that Boad Boards hare been and are • vary satisfactory and efficient system of local government ia the Canterbury Provincial District and the Council are of opinion that their abolition would be a retrograde step."—Carried It was also decided to recommend that .the chairman's allowance should not •xoeed £200 per annotated that the term of t!le Council should continue at three f cart af at present. !Diii was all the business.
