PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.

Yesterday—Continued,

A MESSAG B was received from his Honor the Superintendent re l a tive to the condition of thei Thames as a municipality. The message called attention to the deficiency of revenue which existed, and asked the Council to aoDropriate a sum of £1500 fov its augmenta tion this year, and a similar sum for 1875. It also contained a request from his Honor that the Council should record an expression of their opinion of the whole subject. On the motion of Mr Dignan his Honor's message re commending the setting apart of Provincial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum Endowments at Gisborne was adopted. The miscellaneous estimates were gone into and the several items agreed to. These were followed by the" supplementary estimates, which had been received from his Honor in a message. Some items provoked discussion, but they were all ultimately agreed to. The Fencing Bill and the Impounding Act were further considered in committee, and the third read ing fixed for Monday. The further con sideration of the Highways Bill was fixed for Monday. £400 was provisionally granted for carrying.out certain works in Opotiki. It was resolved to ask the Superintendent to raise the salary of the Harbour Master at Wangaroa by £50. Mr Sheehan moved that the Council at its rising; adjourn till two p.m. on Monday, so as to enable the business to be got through by Tuesday, and the pro rogation to take place on Wednesday next. The moti&n was agreed to, and the Council adjourned at 11 o.'clock.

Mr Reed replied that they had received T^ChaiSr^^V Select ooStee JLXT" of, tbe.M ount Albert district Ski t« «. ° oh Jectlon whatever had been taken to the proposal. The requirements of the ratepayers within the boundaries of Slf?rT° S- ci l uburban district were not identical with those of the people living in the existing Highway Districts. They were TZ V^lar township, whereas the Mount Albert district was a rural district, and its requirements dissimilar. The rates of the persons now represented were almost exclu sively expended" in the Whau and adjoining districts, and they felt it to be a very heavl oppression to have to pay rates to carry out improvements ia the rural districts. Mia Honor asked if the deputation repre sented any particular highway district? Mr. Reed stated that they represented the residents and landholders within the new district now sought to be established. He submitted the names of isixty-six persons who approved of the proposed change. His Honor : You propose to expend the rates in keeping the roads in the new district in thorough repair. Mr Eeed said that was the desire of the people. He did not contemplate any ob jection whatever to the proposal on the part of the trustees or ratepayers of other dis tricts

His Honor said] there was a new Highway Bill now under the consideration of the Council which he believed would be passed into law, and if so, he would have power to accede to the request if he found that the proposed change would not interfere in any way with the interests of the existing High way district.

Mr Reed suggested that the gentlemen formirjg the deputation should be appointed by the Superintendent as the first Board of Trustees.

His Honor said he would be guided by the provisions of the Highway Act as passed by the Provincial Council. The deputation thanked his Honor and withdrew.
