CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

THE HYDASPES IN QUARANTINE,

A meeting of the Central Board of Health was held to-day atj the Provincial Govern ment Offices.—Present : His Honor the Su perintendent, Messrs. Dignan, Reed, and Dr. Philson.

THE HYDASPES

A report was read from the Health Officer respecting the ship. From this it appeared that from the 11th September till the 23rd October there had been 23 cases of scarletina on board, of which six (children) had proved fatal. Three of the cases were still in a state of convalescence. There had been five other cases of disease, non-infectious, and oite girl had that day succumbed to brain fever. There were no cases of sickness now on board except those three convalescents from scarletina. The repoit recommen ded that the passengers should be re moved to Motu Ihi, and the ship be subjected to thorough fumigation. In reply to Mr. Dignan, the Health Officer stated that the pilot hud been directed to be well fumigated, and released in accordance with the course adopted in the case of the Dorette, They recommended the same course in the case of the captain and crew. In addition to the heating apparatus provi ded on the island for destroying tho germs of disease, Dr. Philson also recommended the use of carbolic acid and fumes of sulphur, and that all the clothing on board should be hung out in the open air. An order was made by the Board accordingly. Tho ship's surgeon had reported that all the bedding and clothing of those who had been ill had been thrown overboard. It was resolved that the Health Officer should visit and in spect, and on reporting to the Superintendent as to the propriety of the course, that the passengers should be released from quaran tiue, which he thought might be within a week or ten (lavs.

EJECTION 05" MEMBER.

His Worship the Mayor was elected as successor to Mr. P. A. Phillips (resigned), and it was resolved, in case of his acceptance of office, that his name should be recom mended to the Governor for approval.

THE ARCH-HILL NUISANCE,

A report was read from the Inspector of Nuisances in that district respecting the depot for nightsoil. It appeared that though a pit had .been dug Mr Faulder had failed to use it, and the nuisance wap unabated. From other information it appears that the night soil is allowed to remain exposed, some of it oozing into the gully, which spreads the nui sance further, and portion being utilised by being spread over Mr Eaulder's garden. It appears also that a man is paid by the City Council to. assist in attending to .the bringing of the nightsoil, but is chiefly employed in planting potatoes for Mr Faulder. The new depot at the Whau bad not been utilised owing to the higher charges necessitated by the greater distance. It was resolved that the Inspector be instructed to take immedi ate steps to prevent any further deposit of nightsoil at Arch Hill, and to prosecute offenders if necessary.

KEMUERA.,

Qn the application of the Remuera High way Board it was resolved to have sections 20-45 brought into force.

MISCELLANEOUS,

It^iras resolved to have steps taken for the suppression of a nuisance arising from an accumulation of piggeries and also a pond or swamp at Eden Terrace, below the Eden Vine hotel. A report was received relative to supposed diphtheria at the Thames, and it was resolved that intimation should be given to the various local Boards of Health as to the necessity of appointing local Health Officers. It was also resolved to draw the attention of the City Council, as the local Board of Health, to the nuisance arising from the intake at the eastern end of Fort-street, and to request the Council to take steps to compel its abatement under section 30 ef the Public Health Act.

The Board then rose,

EDUCATION TAX MEETING.

The meeting convened by Mr. George Stainea at the Choral Hall last night was very largely attended. It. G. Wood, Esq., M.G.A;, was voted to the chair. On the platform were Messrs Dargaville, Greenaway, Staines, and the Rev Dr Wallia. In opening the meeting the Chairman sketched the history of th.^jjflaction that had been taken eoanter to the "fax. He then referred to the vote of £25,000 granted by the General Assembly last session. It at once occurred to him that this sum would meet the require ments for education. On hi 3 return from Wellington he at once took steps to get his idea carried out, but was met by the objec tion that the expenditure of the money was specially limited,?to .public works. He thereupon communicated with Mr. Vogel, and subsequently with Dr. Pollen, on the subject, and ascertained that there was no difficulty in the mayi He thought the Pro vincial Council should be called together to consider »the matter. If this' were their opinion the Superintendent certainly ought to comply with their wishes.—Mr. Darga ville, M.P.C., moved the first resolution :— " That in the opinion of this meeting his Honor the Superintendent should be re quested to summon, without delay, the Pro vincial Council of Auckland, and recommend to that body the appropriation* of so much of the sum of £25,000 (voted last session by the General Assembly as special allow ance to the province of Auckland) as may be required to defray all charges on account of educational purposes to June 30, 1875, and so render all further attempts to collect the education.tax unnecessary." He said that the sum granted by the General Government was available for educational purposes, and he thought he was only per forming his duty, and those present wer« doing the same in expressing: their views on the subject.—Mr George Staines maintained that tire tax should be resisted t>y. everybody,; and he was prepared to go to Mount Eden rather than ,pay it if others would-do the same. He seconded Mir Dargaville's resolu-' tion.—Dr Wallisi opposed the tax on religious grounds as opposed to his conscience, and maintained that on this ground only could people' reasonably resist the ' tax. He there fore moved as an amendment that 's Inas much as the purpose of the householder and bachelor tax is to support a system of educa tion which is doing much harm, dishonoting the Bible and religion, we -hereby declare that our consciences will not permit us to pay the said tax."—Mr Clark, who Baid he Was: better known as " Tinker Clarke," seconded the amendment, and opposed the tax on religious 'grounds.' Mr Beckham had said that those who would not pay must go" to ; gaol and take their consciences with them.

9^# Bo ' -■«&**& m Bible too. WA-thft ot^ ; from "the'Wtilic that fT, nlmm,lgr^tidll Aat to eh°* ttat the GeneraT Government advafice must be expended on nublic worki *fc> dW not con ßl d#;thi 8 Sjagfe^p, but it Was the best one the Provincial Council *ft* able to leyy.,, There, should be no mistake aoout the power to enforce the tax even by the levying M distMnt uJJon goods and send ing j;o gaol. About 15 per cent of the money raised under the Act would be absorbed in collection, the remainder would go to sup port education.- Mr -Dargaville explained that the £25,000 was made payable under the " Payment to Provinces Act, 1572,' and therefore might be used for educational pur poses.—The amendment on heing put to the meeting was lost, and the* original motion carried Unanimously.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS' COMMISSIONERS

A ttfijitiN& of the Public Buildings' Commis sioners was held this afternoon at the Pro vincial Government offices. Present—the Superintendent, Messrs Sheehan, Dignan, Reed, Swanson and Macready. But little business was transacted jthe members deputed to oonfer_ with members of the Domain Board with .reference to the exchange of portions of the Hospital and Domain trusts not having met those gentlemen. It was resolved that the matter should be arranged between them on Tuesday if possible, so that Mr Herapath, the architect, may have the alterations iri his plans made with the least delay possible. It was reported that a plan of the prize design for the new Sydney Hos pital had been received and submitted to the architect and Dr Philson, and that it was found that all the recent improvements in hospital accommodation, as suggested ia the Sydney prize plan, are embraced in the desigu of the new hospital buildings. Various aocoUnts Were passed.

NEW STYLE OF BUGGY.

Wk have this morning inspected & new style of bugeiy on an entirely new principle, manufactured by Messrs Cousins and Atkin, carriage builders, which will be exhibited on Mottday next &i the Agricultural Society's exhibition at Ellerslie. There has been much dissatisfaction expressed by persons for a con siderable time past on account of the perch bolt, which frequently caused greabinconveni. ence and even danger by getting loose and breaking These frequent complaints set Messrs Cousins ftnd AtkiuS thinking as to how this serious defect could be permanently remedied. At length, some months back, one of the partners caught an idea from a plan sketched by Dr. Purchas, and resolved in order to remove the existing difficulty to manufacture a wheel plato without a perch bolt, the bottom wheel plata to be en tirely concealed ; and that Messrs Cousins and Atkin have succeeded in realising their idea there can be no doubt in the mind even of the moat ordinary observer who will take the trouble to examine this cleverly-executed piece of mechanism. Although the idea was suggested by the plan of Dr. Purchas there is no resemblance between them. The sight of the latter suggested the former, which is wholly distinct. The bugcy is isiDgle-seated and panelled, and the seats made of bent native timber, which was thought to be im possible. The body of the buggy is ex tremly light, not weighing more (apart from the iron work) than twenty pounds, ■which is two thirds less than the usual weight. The design is elegant, and the struc ture most convenient. The front part of the reach ia solid, and the back part plated. The springs and the whole of tho iron work, which were manu factured by two young men who were taught heir trade on the premises, will be exhibited without paint. This is one of the neatest vehicles of the kind we have yet seen, and we would call especial attention to it among the exhibits of Monday next.
