PUBLIC MEETING OF RATE PAYERS AT THE DEVONPORT HALL.

Pursuant to advertisement a meeting of ratepayers in the two highway districts on the North Shore was held in the i>evonport hall last evening. The pro ceedings commenced about 8 o'clock, at /hich time the hall was well filled. On tho motion of Mr. Dunne, Allen O'Neill, Esq., took the chair, and read the notice calling tho meeting, and trusted some of the gentlemen whose names were attached to that advertisement would bo prepared to open the proceedings. They were about to have a considerable sum of public money spent in forming a new road across Shoal Bay, and as every per son in that room who drank a cup of tea or coffee helped to pay the interest on that money, it behoved every taxpayer to see that this money was spent so as to secure tbe greatest good to the greatest number. As a country settler all he wanted was the, shortest and quickest route to Auckland. If tbe pro posed diversion of the new road would shorten the distance or cheapen tho cost by all means let it be adopted ; but if not, let them adhere to the government plan as now set forth. However, as their chairman, he would not bias their decision, but would leave them to decide for them selves. He would call upon some of the promoters to commence proceedings.

After a pause of some minutes Mr. Mays rose, and said he had been requested by the gentlemen who. had called the meeting lo move a resolution, which was as follows :—" That in tbe opinion of this meeting tbe new road across Shoal Bay could be made at one-fourth less cost if carried through the properties of Capt. Daldy and Mr. E. Keesing than by the line proposed on the plan at the Public Works office. That tho road if carried through these properties would be equally advantageous to the Lake settlers, and would offer greater facilities to travellers from the North Shore, and deprive no section of the inhabitants of the advantages of the proposed works." He said the plans showed this line would not be shorter, nor less expensive, butmore generally convenient for all parties; whilst it would prevent that depreciation of tho value of property which would ensuo if tho road were carried to ono end of the district instead of to tbe centre. Mr. David Burn seconded the motion. Captain Eat tray proposed that the shortest route to Auckland be adopted. He thought it very presumptuous of the promoters of that meeting to question tbe wisdom or correctness of the plans of the Government. The authorities had no prejudice in the matter, and had no doubt done their best for the public interest. He thought they should leave tbe matter entirely in the hands of the Government.

Mr. Alison, sen., seconded the pro position of Captain Rattray. Mr. James Wrigley thought thero bad been a good deal of reckless assertion in reference to the matter. The opponents of the Government line should bave been prepared with plans and sections to prove that their line was shorter and cheaper. Tbey could not expect the Government to be bound by mere assertion. The engineer's estimate showed that tbe differ ence between the expense of the two lines was not more than £50 ; besides there was no power to block up the water reserve leading to Captain Daldy's property. Any ratepayer could object to that reserve being converted into a public road. Captain Daldy might give his land, and so might Mr. Keesing, but wbo would be at the cost of fencing it in? He thought the Government bad acted wisely in carry ing the road over public land instead of tbrougb private property. Mr. Goldie said Messrs. Dalton bad made a plan showing the length and cost of both lines. They had admitted in the presence of Mr. W. J. Hurst that a road througb tbe water reserve and tbe adjoin ing properties would cost £300 less than by tbe route now adapted by tbe Govern ment. As to tbe difficulty about filling up tbe water reserve be would undertake to co it with ordinary earth work and com mon glazed pipes. Mr. W. Macsparran also opposed tbe resolution, believing the plan of the government to be more direct, shorter, and cheaper. Mr. H. Pitts said be would undertake to make a road 25 feet wide through Daldy's property at tbe same price as be would make one. 18 feet wide over tbe line proposed by th 6 Government. He thought that was tbe best way of settling the point. If that did not show tbe ad vantage of diverting tbe road he should be unable to convince them. After some further discussion and re plies on the part of the movers of the motion and amendment tbe original reso lution wa3 carried by 24 votes to 15. A cordial vote of thanks to the Chair man concluded the proceedings.
