The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser (With which is incorporated the “ Evening Echo"). TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1879. TOWN COUNCIL NOTES.

At the Borough Council meeting last night, when the question of ordering street lamps was under discussion, the Mayor stated his belief that in July gas would be introduced to the town. It is a. pity that the Borough’s finance does not admit of a larger lamp-post order than twelve, but doubtless that number of posts will be sufficient for this winter, for, though we have no reason to noubt the accuracy of the Mayor’s calculation regarding the time when gas will be introduced, we fear. that before those twelve lamp-posts are erected and il luminated with gas the worst of the winter will be over.

. His worship the Mayor is a true patriot, and his patriotism is manifest to ■none more plainly than to the represen tatives of the press, who, meeting-night ;after meeting-night attend the Council chambers punctually at seven o’clock, but seldom in time to see His Worship enter. He is always first upon the field, and it is his lot usually to have to wait like “ patience on a monument, smiling at grief,’’ until a sufficient num ber of Councillors have “ valued a bale of,drapery/’ or covered twelve miles since six o’clock,” or “ got through an unusually heavy press of work,” or “ hastily swallowed the first bit to eat since breakfast,” —to permit them to roll up and form a quorum for the des patch of business. Last night His Worship, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Shearman (who, we are glad to see has recovered from his recent severe illness), and Mr. Ivess, wearily waited for more than half an hour, until a messenger “ ran in ” 1 Mr. Orr, and so enabled business to

proceed. Ultimately the deliberative power of the Council was increased by the arrival of .Messrs Friedlande|Snd 'Campbell, :apd business and sweetly.. >’> d ;C; ' Nl ’ ' W

: —IB - i "" ••••:.' 0 P';;!. pN rj; We presume Government’s ihands; are too full of the nativp difficultyOand .. ; the GoVernof’s-Arlfb Bbuth further, thought on the Borough Coun cil’s suggestion regarding the railway ' suggestion was a'very practical one, ana perhaps 1 short -Of actually fencing the whole line from the station to the bridge was the best 'that could be. adopted. The . idea. was. to employ men from the Old Men’s Home to act as watchmen, and give warning to foot-passengers and vehicles of the approach of a train, and so prevent accidents. There are people in the world who, like Gulliver’s flying islanders, want to be brought back from dreamland to real life by the rattling of a “ flapper ” before their eyes, else they might be found going for a railway train like Quixote at the windmill, and in the interest of such it is imperative,now that the dark nights are on, and passengers are indebted for light wholly to that supplied by shop windows, to institute some sort of crossing supervision.

We are pleased to note that some hope is now held out of a proper system of night-soil removal being established. The difficulty with most members of Council hitherto has been the selection of a suitable and available site for a refuse depot, and tenders for the lease of one were called for, but to that call no one has responded, and meanwhile a bad state of affairs sanitary existed. It has now been decided to make use of a patch of land in the river bed for this purpose, for the present at least, and applications for die position of town cleanser (the duties and conditions of which position are to be specified) will soon be asked for.

Mr. Saunders reported on the Borough’s finance. He had been able, in a conversation with Mr. Buchanan, clerk to the Road Board, to elicit (but not officially) some idea of what funds, were likely to come to the Borough from that source, accrued up to 31st March. The rent of the Road Board cottages amounted to • on a further allot, ment since last settlement with the borough, £Bl 19s. of,£i for sub sidy would be given • further share of iand fund, ' £22s •"fates"'due arid in course of collection, (of which had been collected); bank bal ance, 10s. Bd.—all told, 9s. Sd. Against this there was an average monthly expenditure of Mr.,, Saunders further calculated the probable; income from rates, subsidies, fines, cab, " publicans, auctioneer and dog licenses/ rents of cottages and reserves, at This represents our probable income for next year, but the Finance Committee were unable, until after the Road Board’s meeting, to| get . an official statement 6f accounts. -Such statement, however, would be in all probability to hand in time for the annual financial statement the Act required the Finance Committee to make at the meeting of, the. Council on the-first Tuesday in May. *,

A motion, by Mr. J. Ivess, has been passed which calls up visions of .pleasant walking, and holds out a hope that some time in the future, be it near or far, we will walk along East and other streets on footpaths not laid with gravel stones that jib at a 3-inch ring. But we are not sanguine of an immediate transformation, seeing that our hopes were recently raised to a high pitch over a motion, carried by the same gentleman, regarding tree-plant ing. We then thought the plough would start at once to prepare the ground for the reception of trees, but the planting season is quietly creeping past and not a single sod has been turned. Actions speak louder than words !

The Belt Turret Entertainment.— On the Ist of May an entertainment of a superior character will be given the Town Hall, the proceeds to be devoted to paying oft’ the debt incurred in erecting the tem porary bell-tower at St. Stephen’s Church. In addition to music, vocal and instrumen tal, by our best local talent, the pro gramme will include “ Cut off with a Shil ling,” in the representation of which Mrs. Hoskins, Mr. H. C. Jacobson, and Mr. R. H. Pratt will take part; another piece, in which a host of local talent will appear to support Mr. and Mrs. Hoskins, will also he given ; and not the least attractive portion of the entertainment will he a Shakesperian reading which Mr. Hoskins has kindly consented to give. The musi cal party will give several concerted pieces of a superior character, practice of which is being steadily pursued, so that altogether an excellent entertainment may be looked for, and let us hope also an excellent house. Mr. and Mrs. Hoskins are popular with Ashburton audiences, and those amateurs who are to support them in the dramatic representations they have kindly consented to take part in, have, on previous occasions, been well received, so that the component parts of an attractive programme are cer tainly at the command of those having charge of the arrangements. Wedding. —The marriage of Miss Dod son youngest daughter of the Mayor of Nelson, and Mr W.

The Unemployed at Gkeymouth. An ugly affair is reported from Greymouth —that is, if the report is true. While Mr. W. N. Blair, Chief Engineer of Bail ways, was recently at Greymouth, he was waited upon by unemployed men asking for work. In reply he said he would ask permission of the Public Works Minister to commence part of the Greymouth- Hokitika railway on piece work, and the Minister gave his sanction for the expen diture of £2OOO or £3OOO on the work in this way. On Friday about 70 men ac companied the officer in charge (Mr. Johnston) to see the work laid out for a mile, and the following terms were offered to them : —Earthwork, 7d per cubic yard ; filling, 7s per square chain ; clearing, 8s per square chain. Those figures will only yield the men 2s 6d a day for three weeks, the time the work will last ; and they complain they have been entrapped, on false pretences, into staying in the district. To-night an indignation meeting, convened by the Mayor, will be held. Mr. Stout. —The Hon. R. Stout is now well enough to leave his house. The Governor. —Quite a raid is to be made on the Governor by a host of places who all wish to display their loyalty and kill His Excellency with kindness. Wai inate township has been left out of the itinerary, and the Governor must go to Waimate or be for ever unpopular. At Dunedin he must attend a concert of the local Choral Society; he must stand patiently while some official reads an address ; he must head a procession of volunteers and who knows who ; and he must look in at a citizens’ ball. A 12s 6d. per ticket ball awaits him at Invercargill on his return from the lakes, at which ball, by the way, all intoxicants are to be ex cluded; and if he does not stop long' enough m'Oaniaru to look at those terrible harbor works, there will probably be a fight. Our own Council meet on Saturday at three o’clock, to see how much they can do to express their loyalty, and add to the line of formidables through which poor Si? Hercules-must run the gauntlet.

BOROUGH COUNCIL.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Borough Council was held last night. Present—The Mayor, and Messrs. Shearman,jSaunders, Ivess, Orr, Fried lander,-and Campbell. The Mayor stated that, since last meeting, he had received a circular, containing the itinerary of tire Gover nor’s trip South. The County Council Jwtere willing to co-operate in giving His Excellency ’ a suitable reception. He (the Mayor) had telegraphed to the Hon. Mr. Fisher, asking what time His Excellency would have at his disposal at Ashburton, but had received no reply. Mr. Books had’ furnished him with an estimate of the cost of the waterworks. The Council had at last meeting resolved to send home at once for the necessary material, but before he did so he had brought the matter under the notice of the Council again, now that a definite estimate of what was required had been prepared. There had been complaints made about the want of a scavenger, and he would recommend that the island in the river be utilised as a night-soil depot, and a man appointed to look after that sort of work. No notice had been taken by Government of the Council’s recom mendation re men to attend to the railway crossings, and the time of the year now demanded that something should be done. Nothing further had transpired regarding the 1,000 acres rural endowment. HOARDINGS. Mr. C. F. Fisher applied for liberty to erect bill-posting hoardings on the reserves under the Council’s control. The request was granted on. the motion of Mr. Ivess, subject, however, to the engineer’s approval, and with the reservation that no obstruction to pub lic thoroughfares be caused. CAB LICENSE. A cab license was granted to Ben jamin Ede. RECEPTION OF THE GOVERNOR. Discussion on this subject was held over until a reply should be received to the Council’s telegram referred to by the Mayor. NIGHT-SOIL DEPOT. —APPOINTMENT OF SCAVENGER. -FA The Mayor said it was to be regretted that no offers had been received of land for use as a refuse depot, and he sug gested the use of the depot used by the scavenger who had been doing the work for the last four years. Mr. Saunders was fully alive to the importance of the question, and he was inclined to favor the Mayor’s suggestion. It was absolutely necessary that some- S* '

thing should be done, jpid though the waste land referred ’to by the Mayor'; was open to objection, it was far better' to use it than to go on inf he. way-- they were going at present,V without - any depot at all, and without any system of cleansing. He moved, "•'“"Thatthe Works Committee draw up specifica tions and call for tenders;/for .the removal of night-soil and rubbish Troiir the Ashburton Borough to the site in the river bed, for a period of twelve months.-- > ■ - Mr. Campbell seconded, and the motion was passed. -• > • - LAMP POSTS. Mr. Ivess was of opinion that in the present state of the Borough’s finances, the Council should limit their order to Messrs Scott Bros, for lamp posts to a dozen. The number could be added to at any future time. He would move accordingly. Mr. Shearman seconded, and it was resolved that a dozen lamp posts be ordered. PIPES FOR THE WATER SUPPLY. The Mayor said the Engineer’s esti mate for water pipes was and the Council, had already passed a reso lution to procure pipes. He now wished them, with the definite cost before them, to authorise him to pro cure the pipes. The present time; was the most suitable they were likely to have,, for iron had never been cheaper during the last thirty years than in was now. Mr. Saunders pointed out' that the sum of would nearly absorb the amount of the grant by the County Council. • The Mayor was authorised to order the necessary piping. Regarding the land fixed upon, for a site for a filtering well,, the Government have sold the land to Messrs. Tancred and Allan, and the Mayor. suggested steps should be taken to buy,the/land from these gentlemen.. /. ”/ FINANCE REPORT. Mr. Saunders reported that in an in terview with Mr. Buchannan he had ascertained that there was likely to come from the Road, Board a sum of 9s Bd, as the Borough’s share of sub sidies and rates in course of collection up to 31st March. The Mayor said it would be advisable to ask the Road Board to pay over all the moneys due to the Borough by them, and to pay the share of the rates corning to them weekly as they were collected.

Mr. Campbell moved that —“ The Board be requested' to pay to the Council all moneys due to it by the Board up to the 31st March, and to pay . the Borough their share .of the rates weekly, as these were collected; and also that the Town Clerk collect the rents from the tenants of the Road Board cottages as from the Ist Feb ruary, 1879.” Carried. STORAGE OF KEROSENE. It was resolved to ascertain what course was followed in Christchurch regarding the storage of kerosene, and meanwhile those in Ashburton dealing in the article be requested to take out licenses. ~. -, ....... , . THE ENGINEER’S REPORT, which did not contain anything beyond an account of the ordinary .work ! by the labor gang, was adopted. .INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES’ REPORT. The Inspector reported that he had taken proceedings against certain par ties for breaches of the bye-laws, but the Resident Magistrate did not care to go on with the cases, as lie was leaving the district, and wished to leave them for disposal by his successor. r ; Mr. Saunders remarked that the report was very unsatisfactory, in that the matter was of more importance than almost anything else, as these cases involved the general health of the com munity.

After some remarks from . Mr. Ivess, the Mayor stated that it would be necessary for the Inspector to have the cases brought up on the next Court day. FOOTPATHS. Mr. Ivess moved, in-a speech of some length, the motion of which lie had given notice —“ That the Borough Engineer be instructed to prepare plans and specifications and estimates for the formation and shingling of the following footpaths, with kerbing : —East side of East-street, asphalted full width along freehold sections, and 4 feet in width along reserves from Peter-street to the Ashburton Hotel 3 east and west Moore-streets, Burnett-street, Havelock street East, Peter-street East, Cox-street East, Wakanui Road, Tancred-street East; and that tenders be invited for the cariying out of the work by degrees.” After some, discussion, the motion was passed, with the recommendation added that East street be the first work undertaken, and that the concrete channelling of that street be carried on at the same time. In the course of the talk the Mayor said a reduction had been made on the town’s labor staff, and the pay sheet for the month was only £22. . . , IRREGULARITY.. , :: The Mayor again complained of the irregularity of Councillors’ attendance.. Three quarters of an hour had been spent that night before a quorum had; been obtained, and business proceeded with. .... , , .GOVERNOR’S RECEPTION. . Resolved —That a special meeting of the Council be held on Saturday, at 3 p.m., re the Governor’s reception.”

London, April. 26/

The Government has intimated’that it is hot prepared to Jlegistate until Mr. Berry appeals to the country. Mr. Berry believes that if the Council, after the appeal, still resists, the Home Go vernment will then act, but in what mode is uncertain. He considers the way now open to arrive at a compro mise.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST LORD AYLESFORD.

The Earl of Aylesford appeared at the Bow-street Police Court, London, on 21 st. January,;before Mr. Vaughan, to answer a summons charging him with having assaulted two officials of of the 1 Royal Italian ■ Opera House, Covent Garden.

Mr. Abrams, in opening the case, said two summonses had been taken out by tWo persons employed at Covent Garden Theatre against Lord Aylesford for assault on the 13th intant. The complainant, Richards, ; was employed at the entrance to the private, boxes. On the night in question his lordship came -to the . entrance of the theatre, and * requested to be ad mitted to Box No 30, when 'he was informed that it would 'be necessary to produce the ticket for the box, as it had not* been presented. The other box keeper, Campbell, then’ came up, and Richards told Lord Aylesford that he could not pass. Campbell stood before him to prevent his passing, when his Lordship gave him a violent,blow which knocked him down-stairs. Lord Aylesford' then ■ said,; “ Do- you know who I am ?” and Campbell said, “ I do not.” - He. then said, “I am the Earl of Aylesford. I shall report you.” Some, one .then called upstairs, “ The gentleman have come with the ticket for the Box 30,” when his Lordship used some strong'language s as he was passing to the’ box with his friends. Complainant said Lord Aylesford’s language was not that of a gentleman, for which his Lordship struck -him on the hat with a stick. His Lordship was fined £5 for each assault.
