“ To the Chairman and members Waka-

nui Road Board. “We beg to submit the following re port : ‘ ‘ Chertsey Road. —The contract fox metalling this road has been completed. “ Gibson’s Road.—Part of the contract

for formation and metalling of this road has been done, as it is difficult to get shingle out of the pit the Board have secured, on account of water, it would be as well to let the contract stand over until

such time that it can be conveniently worked. “ Butterick’s Road.—The contract for metalling this road has been completed satisfactorily. “ Mill Road by Holmes’.—The contract for metalling this road has been com pleted. We would recommend that the

contractor be required to metal a further .portion about twenty chains towards the VWakanui Creek—which would connect this road with a good metalled road to the town. “ Maintenance of roads.—Mr Silcock is at work repairing the roads in the Waka nui district.

“Road to Kennedy’s.—We have in spected this road, and estimate the cost of making road fit for traffic at about £25. It is difficult to determine where the north western end of this road is, as all pegs have been removed, and existing fences evidently cross the road, thus making it necessary that the road should be re surveyed. “According to instructions, we have

prepared plans &c, and have called for tenders for works authorised at your last meeting, which will be laid before you to-day. “ We have the honor to be, “Yours Obedienty, “ C. E. Fooks', & Son, “ Surveyors, &c., to the Wakanui Road Board.”

The report was received, and it was de cided to request the Chief Surveyor to have the road to Kennedy’s defined. Re Gibson’s road. The surveyor was instructed to see Mr Bennett re gravel,

and the contractor be requested to let the contract stand over. It was resolved that Fletcher’s contract for metalling Mill road be extended to Bruce’s road. The following tenders were accepted : No. 7. Beach Iload—Charles Smithel, re formation, per chain, 9s 6d ; metal, per yard, Is 4d. No. 8. Supply of 3000 yards metal to Beach Road.—John Grilfen, per yard, Is sd.

No. 9. Drain on Leadley’s road.—The tenders for this work were held over until Messrs Winter and Hunt had waited on the County Council, with a.view to obtain ing a grant in aid. 10. Shingling Densliire’s Road.—John Boyle, 11 gd per yard. 11. Shingling Rule’s Road. John Black ; drain, per chain, 3s ; shingle, per yard, lli-d. 12. Shingling Butterick’s Road, not to be done. The pay sheet was then passed and the Board adjourned.

SOUTH RIAKAIA ROAD BOARD.

The usual monthly meeting of the South Rakaia Road Board was held on Thursday at the Board Room. Present : Messrs C. N. Mackie (Chairman), Coster, Lambie, and Gordon Holmes.

The Engineer reported on the works in progress. Along with Mr Coster he had gone to pass a hundred chains for plough ing out on Murdock’s contract for metal ling the Bushy Park road. They found that the stacker had collected earth and placed it in the middle of the stack. The work was passed conditionally on 200 cubic yards of metalling being put on after the other had been ploughed out. The quality of the gravel now being used on this contract was inferior, and contained a large percentage of sand. The con tractor was cautioned against using the inferior gravel. A progress payment of £IOO had been passed on the work leaving a balance due on the contract of £145 17s lid. Bruce, the contractor for the lower end of the Boundary road had finished his work satisfactorily, and a cer tificate for payment had been p asse< l Mangham’s contract for forming the road from the Bushy Park to the Boundary

! r >ad was just about completed,' only : qulring a few lumps to be taken off. The work had been well done, and a progress payment had accordingly been passed. On his Bushy Park contract for shingling no-

thing as yet had been done. Progress was being made by .Messrs Fraser and Gregg wi:h shingling the River road, and forming i->ads to the river. The Engineer

drew T.ue aruouuon or me .ooarci. to nones s road from the ford to the corner of the Back road. There were about 30 chains of the road, and it had been in a very bad state ever since the hood. It required re forming and remetalling. CHOPPING OFF. The Resident Railway Engineer wrote to say that only £3B 14s 7d of a bill re cently rendered to the Board by the rail way authorities for £7O 17s 9d was payable by the Board. The account arose out of the removal, for a short distance, of a house. The railway had in error charged the cost of painting, &c., porch, locks, glass, and fencing against the Board. MAPS OF THE DISTRICT. Mr Ward, Survey Office, Christchurch, wrote, stating the price of a district map to be £lO 10s. The Secretary was instucted to procure a new map. RIGHT OF WAY. The ferryman at Dobbin’s Ford wrote, stating that the Acton Station Com pany had closed the road on the south side of the river, and taken down the

signal pole. Another right of way was at once required, as also a signal pole. The matter was referred to the Engineer and Mr Lambie to consider the advisable ness of purchasing land to make a new road. POUND.

The County County Council wrote, ad- 1 vising the Board that Mr Marsh man had been written to endorsing the Boaxd’s recommendation, and requesting the Com missioner of Lands to give effect to the

Board’s application. ALLEGED OVERCHARGE. Lake and Beard wrote, stating that they would leave the price of work done by

them last winter for the Board, to be fixed by the Board themselves, though the writers were of opinion that the price they had charged was not too high. The work was the repairing of roads after the

flood. It was resolved to hold over this account until the roads had been repaired—-a

deputation bringing complaints regarding the roads had appeared at last sitting of the Board. TENDERS.

lhe tender of R. Patton for forming a road near Irish Town was accepted at 7s per chain, as also metalling 155 chains at Is Id per cubic yard, and metalling 70 chains on Duncan’s road at Is lid.

MOUNT HUTT KOUNDAIIY. The Engineer stated that with regard to the boundary road between the Eakaia ' and Mount Hutt districts, he had attended at the road itself, by appointment with

the Mount Hutt Surveyor, but that gentleman had not put in an appearance, so that there was nothing to report. It was resolved that the Chairman write to the Chairman of the Mount Hutt Road Board with reference to the creek on the

boundary road between Messrs Jackson’s aud Irwin’s. accounts. Accounts to the amount of £375 Is 4d were passed for payment, and the Board adjourned.

The Nihilist Organisation.

A letter from St. Petersburg says that people in Europe have no idea of the de velopment and power of the Nihilist or ganisation. For instance, it is a mis take to believe it is a superficial move ment, and that it has not taken deep root in the Russian nation. It is true that the chiefs come from the middle classes, and it is a significant fact that these men should discover no other means of obtaining liberty than that of force. A plan has been hit upon and already applied for a long time of pro pagating their doctrines among the masses, and more especially among the peasantry, under the very eyes of the police, without awakening suspicions. Their system is this : —None of their proselytising agents are allowed at first either to show that that they are skilled workmen or to profess to understand agricultural matters. Poorly clad, these men are sent to settle in out-of-the-way villages, to work away at their trade for years without giving the least hint as to what is the bent of their political principles. They are extremely diligent at work, and preach by word and example the greatest moderation, especially in respect to the use of intoxicating liquors, and usually marry in the place. It is only when they have thoroughly estab lished their position, and gained a certain amount of influence over their neigh bors that they begin slowly and unos tentatiously to promulgate their doctrines. It is asserted that in this manner a net has been spread over the whole of the Russian Empire, the meshes of which are ever thickening, so that it is even now impossible to say how deeply this Nihilist organisation has taken root in the land, and how widespread is its development. Naturally the preference is given to those places far from any of the great thorough fares and railways. The Nihilists, with prudent foresight, have chosen for their principal field of action those places which are the least liable to the supervision of the political agents of the Government. It is thus that silently this active revolu tionary party proceeds with its develop ment, wl ich sooner or later must end in an irresistible erruption. For the present it only produces spasmodic outbreaks, ending in higli-handed and arbitrary re pression, which only increases the evil in stead of exterminating it. The Nihilists arrested already number-tens of thousands.

llou.oway's Piuls. Pure Blood.—As the vital fluid, when in a Rea 1 thy state, sustain! and renovates every part of the living system, so, when it becomes impoverished or impure it exerts a precisely contrary effect. It is abundantly manifest that any medicine which does not reach the circulation can never exter minate the disease ; but any preparation capa ble of exercising a salutary influence over the blood, must with it be carried to every living fibre of the frame. The lungs, heart, livei, kidneys, and skin, all receive benefits from its more wholesome condition. Holloway’s puri fying Pills operate directly, powerfully, and beneficially, upon the whole mass of blood, whether venous or arterial. They strengthen the stomach, excite the liver and kidneys, expel disease, and prolong existence.
