The usual monthly meeting of the Ashburton County Counoil was bold today. Present—Messrs 0 J Harper (chairman), M Stitt, J Lambie, ff Johnston, W Morgan, and S Chapman. Apologies were received for the absence of Messrs Wright, Friedlander and Buckley A record of the business done by the chairman since !a_- meetinc. and ranger'_ reports were placed on the table, and approved The Chairman reported upon his visit to WeMngion as a delegate to the Conference on the Counties Bill, acd also upon other matters connected with the county On the motion of Mr Lambie, ihe Counoil passed a vote of thanks to the Chairman for hla services in Wellington engineer's report

Tha engineer's reporb was read as follows _—

Ashburton - Rangitata Water Supply- Long continual frosts during the month led to the almosb entire cessation of the flow in tha races for aboub a fortnight. In bhe upper portion of bhe districts the races were blocked both with ioe and snow. Tbe fi >w is being gradually increased from the head works, aa the ioe continues to disappear. The concrete pipes for crossing in Thompson Street, Tinwald, will be laid in a few day's Ashburton -'Rakaia Water Supply—The frost and enow accumulations in head races were rather worse here than in tha southern districts, and supplies wore only relieved by a good deal of ice clearing. The mains from Winchmore and Acton being situated ab a lower level and less subject to intense frost, it would be em advantage to have a .mail branch from the Acton main, extended across to the E race. The Rak.i- River waa very low recently, and a temporary inlet had to be made to keep np the supply. The North Aahbu-ton River was also low, so thab the Wakanui creek hid only a partial supply for a fortnight)

County Plantations—Tho ploughing and harrowing of reserve a. Fairfield have been completed, also of 30 acres near Taletta tanks. The planting of 60 aores of L-gmhor Exchanges has been finished, and the plough ing at Bu.oieuch is also complete; The work at A.ford cannot be undertaken till the snow disappears. County Bridges—Minor repairs have been exeouted a. Taylor's Stream bridge, and the work of pile driving is now being pub in hand.

The willow planting at Mount Somers bridge is finished, and the protection south of North A_h.bur.on bridge near the intake ef auxiliary channel will be commenced ■con.

Protective Work Near R .wle'a Großs.ng — I have prepared -pecifioabion. for this work to guird agaiuß. encroachment and oveifl. w in the vicinity of the intake for Wak»nai Creek, sooth of said orosaing, and tenders for this work will be plaoed before yon today.

It was resolved that tho Engineer's reoom - mecdatjoo with respect to the Ashburton Rakaia Water Supply be adopted, and that a small branch race from theAoton main be carried out by the Engineer. The Engineer's report as a whole was then adoptedl

-KJCOUNT. Accounts amounting to £738 103 4d were passed for payment.

This match took place yesterday in the domain. McTigue captained the Pirates and Lynskey the Bankers andßrokerr. Pilbrow kicked off and McTigue returned into touch; From the throw in the Pirates pressed the Bankers and Broken, and from a • mark ' McTigue kioked a splendid goal. Orr kicked out for the Banks, and the Pirates defended! A passing rush between Fried" lander. Crisp, Selden, and Lyn.key ended in the last named darting over the line. No goal resulted, 4 points to 3 points. From thla out the play was very even, Orr showing up well foe the Banks. From the kick out thi Pirates, bad a busy -imp, sharp passing rushes of the Bankers giving them trouble. From one of these Ormandy sent the bail to Farquahar,, who neatly transfered t. Lynakey who was g.ae.ed within a yard or two of the' line, McTigue Reid and Baker defending well. From a serum Ormandy and Crisp broke away with the ball at their feet and Lyns* key's pec. enabled Itim to scare his second try, Ormandy converting* Score—B po'nta to 4 point-i From this out the play hovered near the Pirates' line, but no further score resulted. Mr Huston made an impartial referee.
