PUBLIC MEETING AT STOKES' POINT.

Ox Saturday afternoon, as announced by advertisement, a public meeting was con vened by the Chairman of the Highway Board to consider the establishment of a steam ferry service. In order to afford opportunity of being present to all interested in the subject the directors of the North Sho: f,^Ferry Company "placed the Devonport on 'the berth for two trips, and ' f^-'A a gener,al invitation. A. very > accordingly left in the steamer "<& Vano'clo a, and landing at the point in quan^? of an hour were soon scattered over the district enjoying and admiring its beau ties. The general impression conveyed was that if a steam ferry service, such as that proposed, were' established, thi« beautiful district so close to the city, and yet so un frequented, would, with its sequestered covea

and shady uplands, afford a most pleasing at traction for picnic parties and holiday- Keepers and others worn out with the worry of city life, who have hitherto been obliged to oscillate between the Domain and the North Head. At three o'clock the meeting as announced, was held at South Hotel. Mi- George Staines, as chairman of the district, occupied the chair, and resolutions were carried unanimously to the effect that im mediate steps should be taken towards the starting of a steam ferry between Stokes' Point and Auckland, that subscriptions should be raiaed to supplement the subsidy otiered by the Provincial Council in several past sessions, and which may be again offered ; and that a committee should wait on the Superintendent elect on the subject;, .and also confer with the North Shore Perry Company. The directors of the Ferry Com pany being present, and invited to express their views on the subject, stated their great willingness to do all possible to meet the wants of the district. Among other means of arriving at the result con templated most favour seemed to attend tho proposal that a small steamer costing about £1,000 or £1,200, and modelled after the lakapuna on a much smaller scale, to be worked by one man and a boy, and costing not more than £7 or £S per week, should be built specially for the Stokes' Point service ; this little boat to be removed to oth«r work in the harbour, and be. substituted by one of the larger steamers should the service in tho course of time require it. Without pledging themselves to any course till after further conference, several of the directors expressed a belief that if the coramibtee could raise a share list to the c ,unt of one-half of the proposed cost, among the pro perty-holders of the district and other districts benefited by the service, the com pany would in all probability supplement the amount and afTord a steam service that would meet the wishes of the district. After electing Messrs Harris, Wilson, Hawkins, Hall, Stevenson, and Wilson (Dairy Flat) a committee the meeting passed a cordial vote of thanks to the directors of the Ferry Com pany for having facilitated the objects of the meoting by laying on a steamer for the occasion, and also for the encouraging man ner in which they had entertained the pro posals of the settlers. An intimation has been to-day received from the committee ex pressing a desire to meet the directors of the Ferry Company to:morrow forenoon, when the subject will probably assume a more de fined form

CITY COUNCIL.—This Day,

A meeting of the Council was held this afternoon iv Canada Buildings, at two o'clock. Present: Messrs P. A. Philips (Mayor), Prime, Williams, Isaacs, Hold.ship, Macready and Hurst. MINUTES. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. CORRESPONDENCE. Several letters were read from Messrs. McEwen and Company, and others, and held over for consideration till the next meeting. In reply to an offer from Messrs. Seccombe and Sons respecting the water works discussed at the last meeting, It was proposed by Councillor Isaacs, seconded by Councillor Prime, and carried, "That the Council is not in a position to accept the proposition of Messrs. Seccombe in relation to the water supply, pending the action of the Council. CITY SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The City Surveyor's report was read re commending a receptacle for rubbish, &c, and showing the necessity of watering the streets. WATERING STREETS. Councillor Isaacs proposed and Councillor Holdship seconded, '' That the Council con tribute the sum of £4 towards the watering of the streets, while the shopkeepers were willing to pay £8." Mr Councillor Macready considered that it might be done without taxing the Council. He advocated a strict system of economy in order that the £5,000 or £6,000 might be lessened.

His Worship said that no one had come forward to do tho work gratutously. Con tractors had previously lost money by the job. Councillor Isaacs was also in favour of economy, but he thought a small sum paid for the public good, and in this case, where it was a necessity.

Councillor Williams suggested that the contractor should be paid by the day, say twelve shillings a day, as the carts were wanted.

Councillor Isaacs proposed ' ' That twelve shillings a day be paid to the man who shall water the streets to the satisfaction of the Council during at least the two next months." Councillor Hurst seconded the motion, which was carried. PRIVATE DRAINS. It was moved by Councillor Williams, and seconded by Councillor Prime, "That the matter of the city drainage bo referred to the Streets Committee." Carried.

(Left sitting.)

THE SUPERINTENDENCY.

(To the Editor of the Evkntng Star.) Sir, —No doubt Mr Dargaville will be sur prised to read of a vote of confidence being passed in favour of Mr Williamson. Some people came miles to hear him. I can only assure you great is the respect for old age in the district, but still they believe in smart business men for the office of Superintendent, and a large majority will vote for Dargaville to try and redeem for Auckland their lost laurels. Mr Lusk does not stand a show to wit.d-iip ain.iis, pad sell off to old Staines. .Brother electors,—-Let us come to the front on Thursday and vofe for Dargaville, who win. by his business habits produce for us a better state of things, ilemernber the rowdy.sm of the Thames by Paddy Boniield, and now Staines is interrupting meetings here thinking he may gv.'rx a few votes for his old identity. It i«j to be hoped that every man wiJ! judore of the business-like habits of the throe men, and vote for the candidate who is solely going in for hoiXDUr. —Yours, Elector. N.B.—The vote of con fidence wrs thit Williamson would not get ni.—Newmarket, November 3rd. 1873. — [Advt.]

THE MARKET.

(To the Editor of the EviSNTNO Star). Sir, —I called upon the Market Inspector last week to ascertain the rent of two stalls in the Market; he politely gave me the in formation. On after consideration I resolved to rent the two stalls, aud on Saturday lost attended an auction in the Market in order to purchase the fittings of one of the stalls. When tho fixtures were submitted for salo the Inspector whispered to me that I had better purchase them, and take the adjoining stall. When I commenced to bid tho In spector opposed me, and continued to oppose until, being disgusted, I retired from the bidding, and they were knocked down to the Inspector. Tbis morning he has actually had the effrontery to place a label on the shutters that the fixtures are on sple. On remonstrating with him tbis morning he said he had "a p-jifect right to do so," and that "I might have tho fixtures if I liked." I told h'*n that I would not give l>:ni one sbil- lsng for either his fixtures or stylls. No wonder the Market is such a complete failure. —I am, &c, DAvrn Olpiieut.

DARGAVILLE AND REFORM. THE DOGGEREL TURNED OVER. —HEAR THE OTHERJJSIDE. Good men and true, at once awake, Your dearest interests are at stake ; At once decide and measures take To give the " sack" to Dargaville. You would not in this age and clime Select a man in cheekhood's p.lme. With brazen " mug: ?" Such through p.ll time Will be the case with Da'gaville. Would you advance true freedom's cause, And governed be by equal laws ? .. Th«n do not hesitate nor pavse— Refuse your votes to Dargavllle. ■ "Who, undismayed by husbands' frown, Would strive to biing their wives to town, Without the Hfcht which 'busses crown, Should vote at once for Dargaville. He'll gather c?;ques, and mend their nets, And wily use Provincial pets To aggravate the public debts : Then groans, three groans for Dargaville. He would not labour's sons enthral, — He loves the servant girl* of all! Come then, crowd forward one and all Ye females ! vote for Dargaville. 'Tis right and seemly that the State The struggling poor should educate ; Such is the aim of the first-rate Men, now opposed to Dargaville. We want a man in virtue strong, Who loves the right and hates the wrong, Nor all unworthy of the song Which breathes defeat for Dargaville. The man whose blood to beauty warms, Mistakes the bosom for the arms Of females, with attractive charms ; That man should vote for Dargaville. Auckland, bereft of common sense, May vote for sheer incompetence ; But men of science, and of sense. Reject this senseless Davgavillo. [Abvt.]
