To. mi-totes of bhe Us. annual meeting Were ra&d Mid confirmed.

The annual reporb was read, also tho bfclan.e sheet, bub nob laid effioially before the meeting m ib bad nob yet been audited. It showed a to.«l expenditure for the year mdlng March 31st last, of £1532 10*. Out of bhla amount) oan be taken £7- 9. 8d spent beneficial Io P L and D P sec tor.*-; on new Boadt had been spent £-55 8< 21 ; on Bepaire and ShlngUng £558 12. 2' ; on Bridges, £53 14s 7d; Mat-rial and Pianb, -.15119 a 4d; on Destruction of Email Bitdn, £101 18- 50U Mainbenanoe, ■ Salary, Paiuf Ingj Adverti«SDK,t.t»*ionerv, Poatag.s, Rent of Office, &-"i £264 16a _d j Mieo.tfanaous ■ Works, £231 1.-9J; on Work Separate Bate Account, £43 41. The Chairman (Mr 0 J H.rpei.-uovel the adoption of the reporb, and in doing so, ooqsiderod tbe position of the Board very ■ati.fao.ory, the credib balance ab the bank be tig soma £1000 This, however, would be largely absorbed by worts now in hand, ana by expensive work which would have to ba attended to, caused by the !abe heavy loodi. Work alao is becoming more costly owing to the .caroity of contractors, and tbe high price of feed. Mr R Campbell seconded bhe motion and -be report) waa adopted Mr Stone wished to know why Noa. 1 and 2 Wards, having large credit balances, ehould strike bhe same rate as tho other Wards Ths Chairman explained that ths Govern Stent did nob permit d fferenbial rates to be levied io the various wards, and tbe genera! tabe had to be the same in each ward te obtain tbe subsidy. The wards, however, would require tba moneys, as there is Btill e.n.ider»ble work to be don.i

Ms Stone also wished to draw the attention cJ the Board to the river crossings, such as Oreensbreet, He considered they ehould be made passable immediately aft.r floods. The Chairman stated the Greenstreeb Ford would be attended bo as soon &b possible. The Hoods had done a greab deal of damage to the various fords, some of whioh bad already been seen bo. It takes some amount of time to pub them in order, mla most) oases the road entrances to the river being confined to one obalu ia wjdbb entail* a good deal of work and time rrm.t be allowed for bhe river to go down bo see what eat. be done

The ford ab Jackson's Road could aofe be made good for some time until protective works had been put in to throw the riser off the road en trance

Mr Wlllers drew bhe Board's attention to .be state of tbe Winter's Road footpath, tho work hiving be*n promised for a very Son.-de.able time

The member for tbe Ward explaioed thab ifc was owing to the financial state of the Ward thab bhe work had nob b.ea done aud thab as soon aa funds will permit, he will have ib attended to.

Mr Craighead thought thab the roads sbcuid be maintained and attended to before doing the footpaths The member for the Ward stated there was a large amount r* ' 'ng!..- ; fquii'.i', which would be attended to as the funds permitted. A letter was read from Mr Thomas Harrison, Rackthoroe, wbo was unable to attend the meeting, drawing the attention of tbe Board to contractors taking surplus horses to the work in band, aud grazing them on the roads cr at the expense of occupiers of laud. He undertook to find paddockteg recently for a contractor, and estimated 4 horses for bhe work and 2 or 3 backs—some 6or ? horses—but found there were three mares and two to.ls also to gr-js?—or twelve in all, He did nob object to g-.sing neoe.Bß.y herses, but thought, lome.hiog should be dote in the matter of iurplußf^tock. Tbe Chairman stated fie Board wou'd see what ooutd be dona, though he considered It rather ft difficult matbor to deal with.

Ib waa moved by MrFtiae, and seconded by Mr Craighead :—That a hearty vote of thanks bo ace rded bhe Board for its services daring the pisb year. Carried unanimously The Chairman thanked them, stating the members did all they possibly could for their reepective Wards, aud should continue io do so, Th® meeting then adjourned.
