I Sembly this year for toe purpose of education and school buildings withm those districts. And if the land revenue of any provincial district is unequal to meet these charges, the Colonial Treasurer may borrow the requisite amount on Treasury Bills, this money and interest so raised to be charged upon the lature land revenue of such Provincial Dis trict.. The money so raised under the Act on Treasury Bills' is not to exceed in any one year £100,000. After these deductions have been made the balance of the land revenue of any Provincial District shall be divided into two parts—one part to be devoted to the promotion of immigration into that district and with such proportion of the maintenance of charitable institutions as may be appointei ; and the other part to be subject; to. appropriation by the General Assembly for the maintenance of public works within the provincial district for the year ending the 3lst of June, 1876. If the portion of land revenue chnrged with the promotion of immigration shall not be applied to that purpose, the portion of revenue devoted to the maintenance of charitable institutions may be appropriated by the Assembly for the aforesaid purpose?. The expenditure of those portions of the land revenue within provincial districts shall, until the end of the next session of the General Assembly, be regulated by the Go vernor in Council. It is provided further that not more than a tenth mrt of the said rei sdrlue Shall bs appropriated for charitable purposes. £2 to Road Boards and £1 to Munici palities. The sums to he paid annually to Road Boards out of the land fund of each Provincial Distiict as an endowment shall be £1 for every pound of general rates received within the district, provided that this en dowment fhall not be paid upon the basis of any general rate exceeding one shilling in the pound on the annual value to Jet of rateable property, and where a' rate in excess of one shibing is levied, the endowment to be paid Bhall be calculated at the rate of one shilling on the annual value. A similar course will be pursued where the rate is an acreage one, the Governor having power to order a valua tion in order to ascertain the amount of endowment due at the rate of one shilling in the pound on the annual value to Jot. There shall also be paid annually out of the consolidated fund to every road district and municipality in each of the Provincial districts as endowments, a sum of £1 for every pound raised by general rate, this being also subject to the proviso limiting the endowment to the basis of one shilling in the £1 on the value to let. <">n or before the Ist of June each year the governing body of each Road Board or Municipality shall prepare and forward to the Colonial Treasurer a statement of the rites receive 1 for the year ending 30th April—this state ment is to bs vended on oath by the chair man of the Board or the Mayor, in the case of a Municipality, and the endowment lo be paid by the General Government will be calculated on the amount actually received by such Roarl Board or Municipality from rates. For the current financial year, a pro rata contribution shall be made to each governing body on the amount shewn to have been received from rates up to the 30th if April last. Confiscated Lands- All lands taken under the " New Zealand Settlement Act, 1563." and amending Acta shall be deemed bind revenue arising within the Provincial Dis trict in which such land is situated. Maintenance of Provincial Services, Etc. [The cost of police, gaols, harbours, hospitals, lunatic asylums, charitable institution'?, and education throughout the colony shall be borne by the consolidated funds except where otherwise provided for in the Aei'. Nothing in the Act shall be deemed to affect the liability of the colony to the public creditor, or to affect any permanent charges or appropriation under any existing law. When any Shire shall have been formed under the Local Government Act the moneys payable to the Koad Boards constituting the Shire shall be payable to the governing body of the !-hire, to which also shall the provisions of the Act as far as possible apply. To meet emergencies arising in the working of the Act tho Governor may from time to time, until the end of next session of the Assembly, make or alter regulations to suit the necessities of different provincial districts and these regulations gazetted shall have the force of law. The Colonial Treasurer pays all money payable under the Act. " The Local Govesnment Bill, IBIS." The other bill giving effect to the abolition proposals bears the above title. It consti tutes all existing highway districts under the title of "original districts," and provides for changing these districts, when desired, by proclamation, when they will bs known as "proclaimed districts," and for creating "new districts" where no districts now exist. "Original districts" are brought under the operation of' the Act by petition to the Governor, signed by inhabitants pos sessing property to half the value of the rateable property in the district, setting forth the boundaries and the Act under which the district is now constituted. The petition may be refused on the representation of. a counter one by an equal or greater number of inhabitants. The present members of existing boards remain as trustees for the new district until the first Thursday in June, when they go out of office, and their suc cessors are to be elected under the provisions of the Act. Until voters' rolls under the Act'are compiled, persons on the ratepayers' roll will be entitled to vote for the election of members of the new Board. Rates levied under the old Act, property, liabilities, etc., become vested into the new, and any questions arising are to be referred to the Governor. New districts are to comprise an area of not less than 15 miles, and are incorporated by petition under the same conditions as those already described. Districts may be united and boundaries altered by petition to the Governor, due notice to be advertised. Each District Board under the Act shall consist of six members, whose qualification shall be rateable property to the value of £25, and enrollment either on the ratepayers or electors rolls. Members of Boards retire annually in rotation. Voters qualification shall be regulated by value of property, not exceeding in any case six votes; elections to be taken by ballot. The Chair man of the Board shall be elected by mem bers of the Board and holds office for a year, and the Governor may appoint him a Justice of the Peace for the colony having jurisdic tion within his district. The Board has power to raise rates on all rateable property, and where special » works are required a separata rate may be levied after notice. Roads, ferries, bridges, etc., will be under the control of the Board. Part IV. provides for the Constitution of Shires. Two or more adjoining road districts may petition the Government to be amalga mated and formed into a Shire, and upon the i petition being granted, the road districts become "Ridings" of such Shire. The districts thus constituted a Shire is to have a Shire i Council composed of the membeis elected from each Riding, and presided over by a Chairman elected by the Council. The powers , and duties of the various road boards thus i amalgamated into the Shire thereupon cease, and become vested in the Shire Council. The Shire Council will have power to take land for permanent works, such as roads, bridges, 1 etc., and for public institutions, hospitals, asylumß, libraries, etc., and may borrow - money for such works on the security of special rates. The Council is to have the control over all roads, tolls, bridges, ferries, and public works within the Shire. Part V. contains miscellaneous provisions relating to the recovery of penalties, making regula tions, . settling disputes, notifications in ( Gazette, etc. ' ''.'' ' j

I am possessed of a truly valuable Recipe from the Chief Aurist in Europe, for tho cure of the above distressing complaint. The benefits the use of tho medicines hss conferred on several I have supplied it to, is really marvellous. Bead the following extracts of a few of the letters I have received acknowledging their efficacy, and judge for your selves :— " My daughter, who has been deaf for a number of years, Mr Hannaford's remedy has entirely cured — John Gkey, Confectioner, Queen-street, Auckland." " I have suffered from deafness nearly 12 years, and availed myself of the best medical experience in vain. I have tried Mr Hannaford's, of High-street, remedy for nearly a month, and am nearly cured. Mr Hannaford, in my opinion, is a benefactor to mankind.—Walteb Howe, Moore-street, Auckland.'1 " I am so satisfied of your remedy's curative pro perties, from personal experience, that I have remitted you £5 lor a quantity to send to relatives of mine in Melbourne —J. Thompson, Oamaru, Otago." " My hearing is improving fast, so much so that I can hear my watch tick at the bed's head. Send me another box of the various ingredients.—Chables McKeegan, Ghuznee-street, Wellington." " I have been under the care of that impostor Rosenthal, but derived no benefit from his treatment. After using Mr Hannaford's remedy for little more than a week, I find my hearing quite restored, so much so that I am quite annoyed at any of my friends speaking in a loud tone— Andrew McMillan, Maketu, Bay of Plenty, Auckland." Letters addressed to Mr T. B. Hannafoed, High street, Auckland, will be promptly attended to. QLSON'S rpOMATO gAUCE. The undersigned having Purchased from Mr. H.

Sir,— Understanding you are the proprietor of the Hot Springs at Waiwera, I think it is only due to you • to give a short account of my successful experience v ' of the efficacy of the Spring's in the cure of Bkeuma-. "■ '■ 'ism. I had been suffering from Rheumatism since the year'GO, contracted through cold and wet work " ing on the West Coast, and from that timeunttll ' left the Springs I had suffered periodically from the same. The second hath I took brought hack all the' I rheumatic pains I had ever experienced indifferent i: parts of my body. At the end of a fortnight I was ■> free from all pains, with the exception of the ankles (which was always the worst part affected), and with the exception of my feet being very tender from so much hot bathing I am quite a new man; I have not the slightest pain of Kheumatism about me, not even in the ankles. To parties visiting the Springs I should advise them not to feel alarmed or disap.".' pointed if they iind themselves worse the first day or two; according to the general opinion it showsthe 1, action of the waters. Also I would recommend the drinking at least two or three glasses of watefboth' " on entering and leaving the bath; also, sweating in the blankets, for which accommodation is provided in each bath; and to parties affected with acute Rheumatism I think the more they use them the more speedy will be the cure. I remain, sir ■"''?#s Yours respectfully, .C. 11. WILLOUGHBY, . .'.;;' Auckland, 10th January, 1875. Dear Sir, — ■ ty In the interests of those who may be similarly : afflicted, and in recognition of tho benefits I derived at your sanatorium, the Waiwera Hot Springs, a desire to record the efficacy of the baths and water :• in the cure of Dyspepsia, from which I had suffered . _a many months.

Dear Sir,— Having suffered from rheumatism for 1 some time past, on the recommendation of my .. medical adviser, Dr. Turnbull, of Christchurch, I ~, visited your Hot Springs. After three weeks' batli- ' "., 1 ing and drinking the mineral water, I am restored to perfect health. In fact, I have not felt so well for ;v years as I am at present. The trio altogether has " been a most enjoyable one. I found the hotel com fortable, excellent table, attendance good, civil and - " obliging, pleasant for tho invalid seeking health, or ■■'■['$ the man of business requiring taxation. Lknowof no mi placo in New Zealand where _ person conld pass a few weeks more agreeably than at your Hot Springs. ; Yours faithfully, J. J. FITZGIBBOK, Postmaster, Christchurch New Plymouth, 27th April, 1875. Sir,—l desire to bear testimony to the efficacy of .: the Waiwera Hot Springs, and as my case is a peculiar one, I shall briefly state it. About four years ago I , had the spine of tny back dislocated in consequence of which I lost the power of my limbs from the back downwards—lost all feeling in them; also, wasting r; and loss of fiesli en my legs. I was quite unable to . , p walk, and was in this state for about three years could not turn in my bed. without assistance. Last October I went to the Hot Springs, Waiwera, and bathed twice each day, and drank at least 1% pints of \ the water daily. After six week's bathing I found the symptoms of life return to my legs. I could lift and use my legs as well as ever; got strong and • healthy; all pain and weakness left me. Owing to the dislocation of my back I still use crutcheß, but I have no doubt I shall shortly be able to do without them altogether, as I can now walk 100 yards at a time without them. I consider the cure a most; i miraculous' one, and feel sure thousands would visit the Springs if they only knew its valuable properties, I take this opportunity of expressing my grateful ,j thanks to Miss Home for the great kindness I i received while at the Springs, also Mr Home for the !. :■■).; kindness and attention paid to me by him.

"■ I was suffering from Rheumatic Fever, was six weeks in the Hospital under medical treatment for Bame. j* I suffered great; pain with swellings and stiffness in my joints. I was unable to take off my own boots, • and had to employ a cab to take me to the steamer ■ ■: when I had made np my mind to try your Springs ' After one weeks bathing, and drinking the water, I, ,: ~ got as well as ever I was, and have had no return of the pain, although it is now two weeks' since my re covery, which I look upon almost like a miracle. I am, Sir, ■ ■. ■; . < 1 ;.■ ,it <■ | Yours respectfully, . . y, George Bevebjpge. To Robert Graham, Esq. Thames, I9th May, 1878. Robert Graham, Esq,, / ■ «'; Auckland. Dear Sir, —I feel great pleasure in testifying to tha , • benefits I derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at !j> Waiwerawera in the year 1868. For years prior to - apt that time I had been subject to-attacks of Rheuma-,,,;,:; j tism, which would lay me up for weeks.at a time., ~ The use of the Springs proved, after this lapse of ■■/„. time to have taken the disease quite out- of nnyv-ss system, having had no relapse since that time. For ,- ,* three months before going to the Springs I had been :r.. totally unable to move without assistance from an ■', attack of sciatica. My object in writing to you is , '■'• that you may make this public, for the benefit of others who may be similarly affected, without know ing where to obtain relief. My experience leads me,. ~ to believe the Waiwera Springs more efficacious for Rheumatism, Lumbago, or Sciatica, than all, the [ medicine the Doctors can give, and only requiresto ,_, be made known to become the great sanatorium for ~; the South Pacific. ■-■ -'"- -"■■ .'
