GOVERNMENT AID TOWARDS THE PUMPING ASSOCIATION.

GRAHAMSTOWN. This day. A very large deputation waited on Mr Vosel to-day relative to the proposed scheme of Government aid towards ■■inking , the Pnmoine Association and Bright Smile shafts f n d driving the Kuranui Hill tunnel. The report already printed was laid before the spokesman, alluded to the We amount already spent by the Bumping Association, and referred to all three schemes in detail, pointing out the advantages derived .from each. A plan was submitted showing tha.various works. Mr Vogel made toarticnlarWiuiries relative to the positions of She* 'companies on the Bright Smile flat, those Bavink 'dividends and the amounts paid, which in the case of the Bright Smile was feted to be £12,000; the Queen of Beauty, £1800 per month ; City of London, £3000. He also inquired regarding the operations of the Drainage Act. • Mr Vogel, in reply, pointed out that the colufield was virtually in the hands.of the Provincial Government, as the whole revenue ' was received by the Superintendent, and expended by him. The scheme should there fore come from the Provincial Gevernment, who, if they required assistance, should apply to Parliament. He thought it quite legitimate for the Government to step in and assist in testing rich goldfields when it could , not be accomplished by private enterprise. ' The Government would assist the Provincial Council in carrying such a measure through the House. He did not think the Parlia ment would sanction the expenditure of the funds of the colony for sinking a shaft for the Bright Smile while they continued dividing the proceeds in dividends to shareholders. The proposal would be scouted. He thought a loan not exceeding £50,000 might be asked for the Pumping Association on the security of the adjoining claims. But the money expended should be paid back, and not go as divi dends to shareholders. He thought the Kuranui Tunnel might be brought under the same heading as Water Races, for which Parliament authorised an expenditure. In regard to the projected scheme of ways and means he pointed out that any scheme for increasing the gold duty as proposed would meet with great opposi tion in Parliament. He would gladly assist some scheme if^submitted by the Superinten dent, but it would be indecorous for the General Government to step in and promise asaistance over . the Super intendent's. In cenduding he hoped the deputation would not think he was throwing cold water on the scheme. He recognised the importance of developing the field. The only question was the best way of doing so. He advised some simpler scheme than that proposed ap more likely to obtain the sanction of Parliament, THE THAMES VALLEY RAILWAY. A deputation waited on the Superinten dent regarding the Thames Valley Railway. jHe said himself and colleagues were entirely •infayorof the construction of this line, j'nO; funds to carry it out. The Provincial Government would take the construction ot the line in hand if assisted by the General | Government.- ■- He thought it a great mistake that the work was not under taken by the General Government. He could give no definite answer until he had consulted with Mr Vogel regarding ways and means. He fully recognised the im portance of the proposed line, and would, with the assistance of his colleagues, do his utmost to have it constructed. The depu tation is to wait on the Superintendent this afternoon relative to the deep-level scheme.

It was announced that a letter had been received from Dr. Philson, in reference to compensation offered him for laud required by the Commissioners.

A letter was received from Brown, Camp bell, and Co. stating that they had never agreed to give sufficient land for a 66 feet street. They had only undertaken to give up lot 7, so that in event of a bill being obtained empowering the Commissioners to widen Chancery-street, and to carry into Queen-street, they might be enabled to carry out the design. They also understood that the arrangement was made contingent on a thoroughfare being made between Fort street and Shortland-street in continuation of Coburg-street as soon as the Commissioners could obtain the necessary powers. After sojne discussion it was moved by Mr Fenton, and seconded by Mr Heale, that Messrs Brown and Campbell be informed that the Commissioners will as soon as possible make the communication between Fort and Shortland-streets within the time specified by the Act. y The following were the tenders received for the completion of Wynyard-street :— Alcoekand Co., £1032 14s; Jas. Larkin, £1060 • Win. Kirby, £1112 15s lOd ; Wm. Blewden, £10/6 ; Jas. Dempsey, £830. It was moved by Mr Heale that Mr Demp sey s tender be accepted subject to the security being approved of by the Board. The motion was seconded and carried. It was moved by Mr Fenton that the Gas Company be again requested to lay their main in the Commissioners' street im mediately so that the surface of the streets may not have to be broken after the com pletion. The motion was carried. The question of asphalting Princes-street side-paths was deferred for thp present. [Left sitting.]
