engineer's refokt. The Engineer's report was read as fol lows :— ■ Aehbmtoa-Eakaia Water Supply.—Dur ing the month of May the mains have been thoroughly cleared, some flumes repaired, and a few sheep bridges erected. The plates for securing the outlet at bye-wash, Bidding Hill dam, have been fixed. Some protective work has been put in at the fnfc&ke at Acton, and the service dam there has been repaired. The distributing races for the most part have been well cleared, - many of them by race ploughs, and occu piers ar© still at work since the water has been let on. The races through Messrs McArthur and Thomas Digby's properties are now supplied from County race, and ■the outfall race at Grange will be com pleted in a few days. Portion of the Winohmore main has been enlarged to pro- Tide a supply for these new races. The Banger reports that some deviations of laoeß are being made without authority, ssd on unsatisfactory lines. This must be cheeked. Ashburton-Rangitata Water Supply.— The clearing of the Tinwald-Waterton section of main is about finished, and the Lagmhor section will be commenced in a few days. The mains from South Ashbur .ton river are now in fair order; river finmes have been tarred, and several small flumes repaired. The enlargements of P and T races have been completed, as also the enlargement of about two miles of N, race near Danebury. The construction of new races in Coldataream district is in pro gress. While the shutting off of the water was necessary for clearing the mains, only a few of the distributing races in this dis trict were cleared while water was off, most of the Bettlers having arranged to have the work done by contract with water race plough with water in the race. This work ib now being commenced at the upper end of the district, and will be continued downwards through the several properties aid completed to the lower end of the dis trict by the end of this month. Head Eaoe, Eangitata Gorge.—The con tractors are making satisfactory progress with the work of clearing, and the carting of ahingle for concrete work is also advano- Mg satisfactorily. # County Bridges.—The repairs and ex tensions of Surveyor's road bridge, Hinds ri»er» have been satisfactorily completed, aad traffic has been resumed. Piles, etc., Ibave been ordered for the restoration of Jfftyfield and Stour stock bridges, and irock at the former will be commenced next wuefc • County Plantations.—l have prepared specifications for fencing several blocks, and tenders will be placed before you to day. The work of ploughing and planting will follow in due course. The South Eftkaia Eoad Board agrees to defray the cost of half-a-mile of fencing south road, near Chertsey, in extension of the half-mile to be executed by the Council. Protective Work for road, etc., in River bed near Junction of Pudding Hill Stream with North Ashburton River.—During the floods of 24th March last_ Pudding Hill stream was overflowing this road, and the nature of the encroachment is such that any ordinary flood is likely to do further damage. Practically there ia no bank between the stream and road, and there are considerable gaps, more especially at a point about 25 chains north of the bridge over the river. The north approach to the bridge is only a few chains in length, and if any repairs are to be undertaken at all it seems to,, me the Road Board should defray the greater part of the cost. An expenditure of £16 might suffice for the present, but no permanent protecteetion oould be provided under the circumstances over such a length except at great cost. Caretaker, Mill Intake.—Applications for fclie position will be placed before you to day. The report was adopted. Arrangements have been made with the owners of the Canterbury Mill tojiave water shut off on 16th and 17th, (and pro bably 18th) June, to allow settlers in gmithfield district and others to clear out some very bad portions of the creek, pend ing the summer cleaning, which the settlers aw'prepared to complete about December. DEVIATION OF RACES WITHOUT AUTHORITY. The Council resolved that the Engineer be instructed to report to the Council on 41i8 cases referred to in connection with the deviatioii of races, with the object of taking toga! proceedings against offenders. LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

Leave of absence from the meeting was granted to Mr Studholme. KAOB CLEANING. If r Laailrie congratulated the Council on the satisfactory manner in whioh the water races were being cleaned out by the water T»m ploughs. THE MILL INTAKE. The Chairman explained that from what information he could gather from the En gineer and Mr Craighead, he (the Chair man) had called for applications for the position of caretaker. The Engineer had j drawn up specifications for the work, which wera read. The Chairman's action was approved of. The late caretaker forwarded claims for compensation—one for «£l4 8s 4d, and IthQ oSher, £6$ for improvements effected fey him during the course 9% Wa tenancy of the cottage and grounds, and alao claiming for woxk done, In connection with the first claim, the Council decided that it could not recognise ifc, and it was further resolved not to enter tain the accounts rendered.
