CITY COUNCIL.—This Day.

WATER SUPPLY. The City Council met at 10 a.m. to-day for an adjourned discussion of the water supply question.

All the councillors were present, with the exception of Councillor S. Jones, absent. On the motion of Councillor Macready the Council went into committee for the con sideration of the report. Councillor Mac ready was in favour of adjourning the meet ing till further information could be ob tained.

At this stage of the proceedings the analy ses were received from Mr Goodall of samples of Onehunga, Western Springs, and Nihotupu water. The result was un favourable to Nihotupu water, which the analyst stated to contain 33.2 grains of organic matter.

A telegram from Wellington was read giv ing the analysis of the .Nihotapu water. This was as follows : —"Nihotupu water contains 6.07 grains solid matter per gallon, 2.07 of which is organic matter containing a little sewage. Salts are alkaline ohlorides chiefly. Better send further samples for comparison."

Councillor Dargaville was of opinion that the councillors were no better informed as to the cost of bringing water from Nihotapu than they were before Mr Mariarty's arrival. Severed other councillors having expressed themselves at length upon the subject, Councillor Prime stated that compensation to Low and Motion was simply a lmgbear. Mr Moriarty was introduced, and answered several questions put to him by the Council. Among other replies Mr Moriarty said that the annual cost of repairing and keeping in good order v the 16 miles of piping neces* sary for the Nihotupu scheme would exceed the estimated annual cost of working the pumping system in connection with the Western Spring. Councillor Holdship moved, Councillor Isaacs seconded, that the further considera tion of_ the water supply question be post poned for a period of fourteen days with the view to the Council being in possession of all information bearing on the subject, and that three councillors be appointed to take steps to obtain the required information. The motion was opposed by Councillors Hurst and Williams.

As an amendment Councillors Hurst pro posed that provided the analyses received from Sydney be satisfactory Mr Moriarty's report and the recommendation therein be adopted. His Worship the Mayor and Councillor Prime supported the amendment. On being put' to the meeting four were in favour of it, and four against it. The names were :•—• For : Councillors Hurst, Williams, Prime and the Mayor. Against : Macready, Dargaville, Holdship, and Isaacs.

The Chairman gave his casting vote against the amendment, not deeming it, aa he stated, advisable tllat so important a matter should be decided by a casting vote. A further amendment was then put by Councillor Dargarille, seconded by Councillor Macready, " That it is desirable before Mr. Moriarty's report be adopted, that a complete survey of the Nihotupu-Waitakerei scheme be made, and an estimate of the cost obtained."

MrMoriarty stated that this survey would cost from £1,000 to £1,500.

A division took place on the amendment. For it 2, the proposer and seconder ; against it the rest of the Council.

Mr Macready stated he would give notice of motion to the same effect next meeting of the Council.

The original motion for adjournment was then put, and was carried on the casting-vote of the Mayor.

The Council then rose,

STORMS. Storms, wild storms, in your frantic play, Fiercely pursuing your pitiless way ; Bearing abroad over city and sea, Stern devastation and misery ; Ye have passed over scenes of late so fair, With their clustering homes and shrines of prayer. And whirled around with a savage glee As ye lashed into fury the foaming sea. And wrought wild havoc and terrible wreck, As the billows, like slaves, obeyed your beck, Making the mariner's heart to chill, As ye moaned with your power of good or i!l. Storms, wild storms, of this mortal life, That beat on the spirit and move it to strife, That sweep o'er the heart with remorseless breath, And leave it a desert of ruin and death, Smiting its garlands of joy to dust, And scatteiing its blossoms of hope and trust; Say, .what can ye give to the anguished heart In lieu of its loss, in return for its smart ? _ B.
