COUNTY COUNCIL.

Yesterday the County Council held their usual meeting. Present —The Chairman (Mr. W. C. Walker), and Messrs. Saunders, Jackson, Wright, Grigg, Reed, Coster, 1 and Cameron. The Chairman’s statement, after re ferring /to jthe; meetings, held, .the ratepayers re the Plains Water Supply, said the draft Bill on that subject had been prepared by'the Solicitors and minted, and would be laid before the Council that day./ The Solicitors urged expedition in its consideration, and also of the district 5 to be included in the Bill, so that no time should he lost and that the necessary Parliamentary forms may be complied with. After referring to various tenders, for work to be done, that had been received, the Chairman went on to remind the Council that the question of erecting Council Offices would have to be considered. ENGINEERS* REPORT. The Engineer, Mr. Baxter, reported as follows :—Tenders for the North Ashbur ton and Hinds -River Bridges are now pieced before you ; also tenders for river protection, near.Digby’s., With,reference to theiitteryit may be/necessary! foi sub stitute concrete for large stones, for making .up ; the end of the embankment, as the material to be taken 'from’ the river-

bed may not yield A sufficient quantity of boulders for the purpose. Tenders for abridge .over, ; South Ashburton River . have been postponed 1 , till further investigation, has been .made as to the nature of the foundation on the prbpdsed' ; site.' ' Yery : probably jfron piles will have .to be adopted there.' In a few days I'hope to complete the plans and ,specifications, for the pro- jpqundsj at Hipdßj f sndj ■ ,Mount Somers. ' ' <"> " ' ‘ j Water. £upj>ty for the, Plains.— The pro posed scheme, in its ’ Various bearings, has been so .prominently before the members of the Council ‘during the last month, at -their, meetings with the ratepayers, in the variodl districts'; that iifsdemsi unnecessary forme to report at length on this matter at present. ;! l As ! the 1 fnfe'mbert ’df ' CoUncil are aware, in .some of the .districts a pro.- , position of the ratepayers Seemed to be in favor of reducing the scheme, and I have prepared a modified plan which may be calculated perhaps to meet the views ofi such, and which may also, I hope, be found acceptable to the ratepayers generally. I now beer to submit said plan for the con sideration of Council. You will observe 1 in comparing this plan with that exhibited, to the ratepayers, that one line of piping has been struck out altogether, and that the remaining dines,- as t uniformlyfas pos sible divide the districts proposed to be rated. The lines of >pipes now terminate, five jniles from the sea, and the rateable 'is^h6wn'i ! towtfehd"S:ffiile ."beyond ‘ the lines of pipes, except in the f ollowingin ?iifstan^s,:fNearJtheJW a kanuiCr.eekthefqrmer boundary is not altered. Messrs Gould and Cafnerani’s property ,is, exclirdedy; as, is also all the district within six miles of the pro posed source of supply ; besides a con-., siderible>at6 A adjoining the Rakaia River is left out on account of the changed posi tion of the line of piping here. The effect of these alterations on the whole, is to reduce the rateable area to' 175',000 acres, and this probably may be set down as the extent which is really in want of a water supply. If, at the next meeting at Rakaia it is found that the line proposed to supply that district is not wanted, it can also! be omitted, arid’doing sdn would further cur tail the rateable area, but would not in crease the rate over the other districts. I may,here, that to provide for a. system of equal distribution, I have divided the rateable district into twelve divisions, each two miles in width, and running parallel' ‘Wthe line bf railway. The intersections of the pipe lines thus give 50 sub-divisions of nearly equal size,' and for each; of; ( which X have calculated the required supply of ten ' gallons per acre per day, and have also noted in each sub-division the quantity of water deliver able nr'each;’-^b 1 ! ihat the proportionate supply may be determined for each section, as far as the pipes extend. I have arranged j fhe; .different sizes of pipes 1 to suit this method; and the cost of!the works, providing fully for all contingen .?,.cies,,£,estimate as follows : j l 'yy l2£-inch glazed fireclay pipes, A.8.D., miles, at £I,OOO per mile, £7,500. 10-inch ditto, D.E., 3£ miles, at £BOO per mile—£2,soo. j 9-inch ditto,_B.C., 4£ miles, at £660 per mile—£3,os2 10s. 8-inch ditto, E.F., miles, at £550 per mile—£2,6Bl ss. 7-inch ditto, E.M., 7 miles; D.P;, 9| miles; F.T., 6-| miles; C.S.I, 7§ miles; inall—3l£ miles at £4OO per mile —£15,120.

It appears to me there wouldjbe no object in subjecting them to a system of . high pressure, which could only $e ser viceable for fire extinction, for lifting water into houses, or for such like j (Pur poses. At the same time I may here, quote from a high authority on Drainage, that “ some experiments made withjspeci men tubes of fireclay at Glasgow, proved their power to resist a pressure equal to that of a perpendicular column ofi water tdet irt heigKt, being pressure to which it is found necessary to . prove iron, pipes used for the transmission' ‘bf tyjffleMbvif needffiardlylgay that for the

present purpose pipes proved to a tenth, ['i ipartqql;, the strove -test, .jwoujd ~bh; fully, sufficiehti ' ‘ On account‘of the short inter-, yals and uniformity of fall between the ,yto rilsteKrtij. rwilltba very slight indeed, and, if necessary, it could Without expense be reduced at as many points as might be wished. Glazed earthenware ■ pipes have the advantage too o| "being from lEe’cEance‘bf^corrodibn, ' }fi 'Wliije* ’of tlie water through' ‘thfepipeja^'jlncase,.Any) of the, members should-desire l it, I’bog to subjoin-

This is for the ordinary calss of cast-iron pipes. For pipes to hear pressure of more than 300 feet the rate would be pro portionately higher. The plan now submitted is capable of being either extended or further dimi nished, as the Council may think de sirable ; and the details herewith given will enable members more readily to judge in what direction further alterations should be made, in order to meet the wishes of a still larger body of the rate payers in this question of water supply. Wm. Baxter, Engineer to the Council. PLAINS WATER SUPPLY.

The Council sat for the greater part of the day in Committee on the draft Water Supply Bill. On resuming, the following resolutions were carried:—Moved by Mr. Wright, “ That every ratepayer within the dis trict to be rated for the proposed Water Supply shall be allowed to draw from the water pipes by branch services or otherwise, and at his own cost, a quan tity of water in direct proportion to the area of his holding as compared with the whole district to be rated and the total supply of water provided, without being liable to any further charge over and above the ordinary annual rates.” Moved by Mr. Saunders—“ That the member for Coleridge be : requested to take charge of the Bill for the Water works on the Ashburton and Rakaia .Plains, in the House of Representa tives, and the Hon. John Hall in the Legislative Council.” ■ ;;

CORRESPONDENCE. Amongst the correspondence read was a. letter fr,om the Ashburton Town Clerk asking that, a cheque for the amount of Dog Tax due to the borough should; be forwarded. One from: The Road Board agreeing to the County’s suggestion' of a general valuator ’; for the whole district;; One from the rail way. Department declining to contri bute to the erection of bridges.
