MEMORANDA.

AUCTION SALES. Friday, May 9. , s Mr. Alfred '/Harrison, at his Jlooms, at; 1 o’clock l —iTown Section No. 585.

The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser (With which is incorporated the “Evening Echo”). THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1879.

To-day, the nomination for the Cole ridge seat took place at South Rakaia Road Board Office. The only candi date for the seat was Mr George Hart, who has thus enjoyed a walk over. We thought, for a time, considering the efforts made by some of our leading men to induce candidates to come for ward, that Mr Hart would have a some what warm experience before ‘the con test was over, and that if he won the honor of M.H.R. for Coleridge he would only have done so after tasting what Ashburton electioneering was like. But every effort, has .failed ,to galvanise into life the. 'political ambition of our local magnates, and while we are satis fied with Mr'-Hart as a candidate, and that tile district’s interests will not suffer in his keeping, we have also to thank him for saving the seat from going a-begging. The House has many far less' able men in it than our new mem ber, and his appearance in the Town Hall showed us we had no reason to be ashamed of George Hart, Esq., M.H.R.

The Recent Forgery Case. —The man Blankem will probably be brought before the Justices to-morrow. He has been re manded from Christchurch to Ashburton. The County Funds. —The County’s funds are satisfactorily plethoric, and it is consoling to know that somebody at least has money in these hard times. The County’s credit balance at their bankers’ on 31st March amounted to £55,032 8s 6d, of which £40,000 was on deposit account.

The Want of a Scavenger. —Some people have queer ideas about sanitary matters, and some eccentric individual showed this week that though he had so far valued the pan closet system as to adopt it, he failed to completely compre hend all its details. If Sergeant Felton should come across him, however, he will teach the eccentric one that the Triangle is not yet set aside as a depot for the re ception of public refuse, and that when men become amateur scavengers they run a risk of smart punishment unless they perform their work in a manner that has ot a public nuisance as a result. _a Planting. —lt is satisfactory to note that there is now some hope of a start being made with the important work of planting. The Provincial Plantation Board seem to be in earnest and to mean work. They have solicited financial aid from our County Council, and that body have voted £SOO for the work, so that soon the prac tical initiative will be taken. The influ ence plantations exercise upon climate is great and when v. r e consider the amount of tussock, flax, and reed growth that has been destroyed during the past two years on these plains, stops taken to supply a substitute will not bo deemed premature.

The Plains Water Supply. —The im mediate construction of the Plains water scheme, which many hoped would follow the adoption of Mr Easter’s plans, is not vy.et to hfepen. The abolition ofMhre Pro- VYiiices the j.|hpply Act* ■ and it is now to ifarliament for a spe'cihl Afit to !

Failing D unecftn being madeYhe' centre* of ; rail way government, as, in the “ Age’s ” opinion, it is the centre of the South Island “railway system; the Age thinks' the line can only be saved by stationing traffic managers at Christchurch, Timaru, Uamar'u.' Dunedin, and Invercar gill, and the bead office midway between the two ends of the line. The colony owes a deep debt of gratitude to tbe Dunedin press for pointing out to it that the South ern city is the centre from which unerring wisdom and judgment can at a 1! times be obtained. A Dirty Trick. —A young gentleman yesterday afternoon received a most heartrending letter purporting to be from a particular friend of bis. Tbe letter contained intelligence to tbe effect that a certain lady acquaintance of his was seriously ill, in fact “ in articulo mortis,” and wished to see the person to whom the note was addressed. '.Che recipient im mediately posted off to the “ house of death”—a distance of some six miles from town. Arrived at his destination he was told, with a laugh, that the object of his visit bad gone to A shburton on a shopping expedition. With what feelings our in formant retraced bis steps can be better imagined than described, and we can easily understand his “ letting loose” a few anathematic expressions. We think the individual who perpetrated the joke, might have chosen a different subject— death being one of those which ought to be treated with respect. The young gen tleman mentioned something about “ skin aud hair” flying around if he happens to catch that “ fellah,” and we should re commend the jester to keep out of his way, as a walk of six miles is no mean joke, especially when it turns out a fool’s errand.

COUNTY COUNCIL.

The usual monthly meeting of the County Council was held yesterday, when all the members were present, except Mr. Saunders. The Chairman gave a resume of the work done by him, and the corres pondence received since last meeting. Amongst other matters he referred to the demonstration on Saturday at Tin wald, at the reception of the Gover nor, and - complimented Mr. Fraser, railway contractor, on the pains he. had taken to render the day a success. engineer’s report. To the Chairman of the Ashburton County Council, jr ~ r , -... , I have pie hofiour to submit the fallow ing report‘ ; As requested by the Council, I have completed the plans and specifications for a bridge over tbe North Ashburton River at Digby’s, and for a bridge at the Hinds. I have advertised for tenders, to be lodged on May 27, for these works ; and also for the protective works near Mount Somers road crossing. The bridge at the Hinds will have a span of 40 feet. 1 prepared an alternative design for a. 35 feet span"; with trusses below main beams/ but in' several respects I found the other plan to be preferable, while the extra cost will be inconsiderable. •- • -WATER. SUPPLY ipii THE PLAINS. As..mgtrueipd!by the i Council, I have again gone carefully into this question, with a view to a more extensive supply than that mentioned in my last report, and would nowjbeg to propose the following methods for the consideration of the Council. The accompanying plan shows the two schemes to which I now refer : Ist. A 12-in. main pipe leading from Pudding Hill River to Methven, a distance of 7 b miles, with a head of water sufficient to discharge upwards of 1600 gallons per minute. From this point two lines of pipes, 9in. in diameter, diverge, as shewn. Off’ these, four lines of piping, Gin. in diameter, on suitable gradients, are led as far as tbe line of railway, from wliich 4in. piping would be laid for the remainder of the distance towards the sea.

The 12-in. main would, from its position, supply considerably more than the four lines of sin. pipes will recieve, but assum ing it to be three-fourths full, and allowing for a proportion to be consumed in the district along the first 7i miles, the surplus could be utilised for mill power and other purposes, at the end of the main pipe at Methven. Otherwise five lines of G-’o: piping might be adopted, or the size of the main might be reduced to 10-in. diameter. I estimate that each line of G-in. pipes will discharge on an average 225 gallons per minute, or 324,000 gallons per day, or in all, for the four lines, 1,290,000 gal lons per day. 2nd. The alternative scheme is for a main pipe of 12-in. diameter from Pudding Hill to Methven, with six lines of 4-in. piping, as shown in full lines on plan, j , These six lines would, together, dis charge about 720,000 gallons per day, which is only a little more than half the supply by the other scheme. f' The fourlines of 6-in. piping are each 2 J miles apart at the top, and 3|- miles at the bottom; thus, no part of the district traversed by these pipes would be more than a mile and a half from water supply. The six lines of 4-in. piping are scarcely two miles apart at the top, and less than 2b miles apart at the bottom, so the supply would be scarcely more than a mile from any point along the course of those pipes. I have also considered, in a general way, the question of substituting an open channel, with a series of falls, for piping over the first 7i- miles. The soil is such.

that a considerable portion of this length would, I believe, suit better for th:'s pur

pose than almost any other portion on the plains, but there would nevertheless be considerable loss by percolation even there; and, as the soil over the first three miles, being porous, would require pipes, if an open channel were to be adopted for the remaining three or four miles, the size of the piping over the first portion would be considerably increased, to provide for the loss of water an open channel would entail, and the ultimate cost would probably not show any saving, but this point is de serving of further consideration when the scheme comes to be worked out in detail, if You will observe that scheme No. 1, •(viz., the four lines of G-in. piping) .costs •fioss, and gives a more abundant supply than No. 2 scheme, and although the dis tribution by No. 1 scheme is not equal to that which the other scheme would pro vide,it would nevertheless, I presume, be generally considered sufficient. 1 scheme would also provide better than the other for supplying dams to the western district, as indicated, and some other points on the plan, if necessary, for small grist mills. The Pound-keeper’s house has been finished satisfatorily, within the specified time, and under the stipulated cost. All the ground pertaining to the pound, should now be fenced in for pasturing purposes. I have the honor to be 1 Your most.obedient servant, William Baxter. THE PLAINS WATER SUPPLY. The Chairman read letters he had received from Messrs. Garrick and Cowlishaw on the Plains water , supply question, from which it appeared that a special Act of Parliament would be necessary before the. proposed works could be undertaken. The district to come .under the Act, it was proposed, should include North Rakaia down to Ashburton. . . :

Mr. Grigg thought no boundaries should be defined, nor details gone into, until the Act had been passed. The rateable area could be altered to or extended with the works.

Mr. Wright thought it might pre vent possible opposition if the district were defined before going to Parlia ment, and before the question went to the ratepayers, as at any future time an extension could be made by the General Assembly. He moved—“ Tha- the area of the land to be rated for the pro posed water supply between the Rakaia and Ashburton shall be defined by the Council, and submitted to the rate payers for their approval, and that the plan so approved shall be incorporated with the Bill tobepassed by the General Assembly.” 7 . Mr. Coster seconded the motion.

Mr. Grigg was averse to going to the ratepayers first with the scheme, as they would ha/e to go again. Meanwhile, there was no legal means of ascertain ing their opinion on the matter, and a simple expression of opinion by a rate payers’ meeting would not weigh in the least with Parliament. He took it the new Act would provide for taking the ratepayers’ opinion, but such an expres sion now would be untimely. He moved that the words after “ approval ” in Mr. Wright’s motion be omitted. Mr. Jackson, the new member for the Mount Hutt Riding, seconded the amendment, which was lost on the vote. ... . Mr. Coster moved—“ That this Council hold a special meeting on May 14th, for the purpose, oft. considering plans of the water supply scheme, and defining the proposed boundaries of the district to be rated.” The motion was seconded by Mr. Reid, and carried. ! , q. CORRESPONDENCE. The Under-Secretary, Wellington, forwarded the petition of ratepayers in the southern portion of the Ashburton Road District for severance for the Council’s recommendation, as by law provided. ...The petiton was endorsed., From the Under-Secretary for Rail ways, intimating that Government would adhere to their decision regarding the bridge, and enforce the same. Also stating that the Government have no authority to contribute towards the erection ot a new bridge. r r From the Chairman of the Provincial Plantation Board, Christchurch, en closing copy of resolution inviting co operation on the part of County Coun cils in the planting of reserves set apart for that purpose. Mr Wright explained the position of the Board, and stated that if the Council granted he believed it would cover the cost of en- : closing and planting with the hardier; kind of trees about 250 acres. He moved, That a sum of be granted to the Board, on condition that it be expended for plantation purposes within the Ashburton County during the present season.” - Applications for slaughtering licenses were received from H. Hudson, B. Ede, Wilkin and Carter, J. : Carter, James Smith, J. E. M‘Rae, and R. Lancaster. From Mr. J. S. Bruce, architect, stating that the plans of the County Hospital were prepared. From the Mount Peel Road Board and also from Mr. Watkins regarding additions to the Rangitata Bridge. Resolved, “ That tbe sum of £6O be paid to Mr. Watkins, in accordance with the recommendations of the Engineer, and that the Geraldine and Mount Peel Road Boards be furnished with a copy of Mr. Baxter’s report and correspondence.” • FINANCES. The balance-sheet for the half .year ending 31st March, was submitted. The following is an abstract: — ..£. s. d. Receipts ... ... ... 31,526)18 2 General Expenditure '... 1,902 4 8 Grant to Borough ... 5,000 0 ;0 Balance in Bank— . Current Account ... 16,032 8 6 Deposit ... ... 40,000 0 0 Total £61,934 13 2

Accounts, amounting to £S3BI 16s Bd, were passed for payment, and the meeting then adjourned.
