AUCKLAND WATER WORKS.

LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE.

[Pe* Star Caxfi^ Pigeons.]

As already announced, tne tender of Messrs T. and S. Morrin, £72,6-33. and £3000 for tramway if required, has been accepted hy the City Council. Iho cerciriony of laying the foundation stone took pl.ee' w»-dfty at the pumping site, a short distance from Mr Edgecumbe's Hotel, Great North Road. The contractors had issued between 150 and 160 invitations to leading uitizuiiS, to give by their presence ecl-.t to the event. Those who attended included m&uy General Go vernment officials, Aleinbers of tke Provincial Council, Executive, and heads cf all the representative bodies. ."'bout 12 o'clock to day, the guests assembled at the Cor poration offices, where cabs and 'buses, to convey them to the scene of the day's proceedings, were waiting. One large 'bug, capable of carrying about aixfcy passen' gers, proved most serviceable in cany ing cttt this part of the programme. The reticles to the nnmber of about 30 carriages and 'buses moved off up Queen-street in a kind of pro cession, led by the carriages with the City Council and Harbour Board, imme diate followed by tho Provincial Kxecutive. The beautiful weather rendered the trip a most enjoyable one, and the visitois to this land of pure water and bubbling springs were evidently not indisposed to test the quality of the supply for "mixing" as well as for use in its pure unadulterated state. On arrival at tho site no time was lost in preparing for the business of the day. Mr T. Morrin, presented the Mayor with a handsome silver trowel with ebony handle, mounted with silver. The trowel was manufactured by Mr Kolm, jeweller, Queen» street, and was quite a model of workman ship. It bore the following inscription :— *• Presented by T. and 8. Mo;rin, contractor)! of the Auckland Waterworks, to his Wor ship the Mayor, F. L. Prime, Esq., on the occasion of his laying the inauguration stone, 29bh March, 1875. —W. Errington, Engineer; P. A. Philips, Town Clerk." On a border round the edge of the trowul are the names of the Councillor* :—W. C. Daldy, T. Macready, H. Isaacs, W. Buchanan, J. Cosgrave, G. Holuship, H. Brett, W. J. Hurst. Mr Errington presented the Mayor with the plans of the future works. Mr Blewden, sub-contractor, arranged the stone, and his Worship the Mayor, with an amount of skill that did credit to his aptitude for practical mechanics, wielded tho trowel to good purpose, and the stone was soon fixed immovably in its bed. The Mayor then mounted the stone he had just laid and said : —Ladies and Gentlemen : Ifc affords me the highest gratification to address you upon this important occasion. For some years the City Council have earnestly endeavoured to arrive at a decision »pon the water supply, but the opposition o a few and the apathy of others has so long delayed this desirable provision for the health and comfort of our fellow citizens. I feel it to be a greai honor that it should fall to my lot duri»g the term of my Mayoralty to take this important part in the undertaking, at the same time I desire to bear testimony to tho energetic efforts of my predecessors and members of the City Council, in determining upon boring and bringing to a successful issue the Auck land waterworks. I am-sure it is needless for me to dwell upon the necessities of a water supply. It has perhaps been more apparent during the past year than any time previous ; and of course we may anticipate, as the population increases, 30 will the wants for an abundant supply of pure water be re quired. Of course for a time it cannot be denied that the burdens of tho ratepayers will be considerably increased. We, how ever, hope and trust that whom the benefits to be derived shall have btcome apparent to our neighbours, and the numerous manufac turing industries become customers, a large and increasicg revenue will enable the Corporation to materialiy reduce the rates, and there in not the slightest doubt that in the course of a few yeara the waterworks will ho a source of profit to the city. lam sure we all earnestly nope it will not only be a profit but a blessing, and the safing of a large amount of human life. All details have been so long before the public that I think it hardly necessary for me to occupy your time in particulars which have already been explained through our local press. 1 will say no .more, but call upon you to join with me in giving three hearty cheers for the success of the Auck land Waterworks.

Three ringing cheers were then given for the Auckland Waterworks, for the con tractors, and for the engineers. The Mayor then called upon Mr O'Rorke to address them on behalf of the Superin tendent. It was received with cheers. He said he had to congratulate them upon the ceremony just witnessed. He had been specially commissioned by Sir George Grey to express his regret that he was unable ta take pavfc in it. His Honor had been unaware up to the day. before his departure, that it was to take place. He was then fagged after his work at the hustings at the Young Men's Chris tian Association and the Choral Hall; and he asked him (Mr O'Rorke) to apologise for his absence. He regretted that His Honor was not there to exhilifate' them by his stirring Eloquence. All that - he could say, he felfc, was like milk and water when compared with the powers of oratory of Sir George Grey. The province ought to be prond that at a time when the office of Superintendent was no sinecure, they had a man like Sir George Grey to come forward and take the lead and stimulate them to put their shoulder to the wheel. For himself, fee had little experience of such matters; but he thought is| was a matter] of congratulation that the citizens of Auckland wera about to have a supply of water introduced. which would drive away the tanitary scourge which from time t» time threatened to depopulate their city. He truited that there was no one present wke would deem it out of any dis respect that Sir G«orge Grey was not there that day. He did not think that any one would grudge him * little rest after his arduous dutits of but week. (Cheers.)

Three cheers for his, Honor the Superin tendent were then given, after which Mr T. Morjin invited those present to take much at thfe miU. (The scene of the cerempay was eloae to the main road, and about half a iiiiie frota rhs mill,

He wa3 a man who would ncft only serve the province but the whole colony. The Executive have done their utmost to promote the interests of ths province. (Cheers. J . . , . , , .

Mr Eobert Graham theu propped tK" J6ast of the day, " Success to the Waterworks of Auckland," coupling with it, " Prosperity to the Contractors and Engineer of the works. He gate a brief detail of the early history of the proposal for water sttppjy, stating that Vi Camp'bolly tt>ven Snpe'rMefedenl had been the first to briftj it iVfyOtO, afld he (Mr Graham), when Su'perintefc.itent, had £45,000 set aparb for the purpose, but resolved to withhold action when it was found that grave mistakes had been ruade I respecting the levels. He paid a high triWut* of praise to Mr. Emngton, the engineer, who bad RlrcS-Jy superintended the oonstriiCtion of the largest machinery in the Southern colonies. _ Mr Thomas Morrin th--.uked them bnciiy for their kind wishes for the contractors personally, and the success of their under taking. Mr ErringtoflU in returning thanks said he would do his very best lor tfte snccesS of the works, and would be glad id ieMU their congratulations on their completion. Mr O'ftorke next in a brief and eloquent speechj proposed tbe Mayor and Councillors of the city of Auckland, which was responded to by His Worship arid Councillor Macready. Councillor Macready, in responding for the Council, called attention to the improve ments of the last fourteen years. The pre sent ceremony would be a red letter day in the history of Auckland. He was assured that in eighteen months they wduld have watea in Auckland. (Cheers.) Mr Sheehan proposed rhte Press, coupling with it the name of Mr W. C. Wilson a3 the oldest and most respected member of the Press in the province. The toast was brierly responded to by Mr W. C. Wilson and Mr Luckie, after -which, with rounds of cheers for the contractors and various others, the assemblage broke up.

We should add that the luncheon pro vided was of the most excellent and abundant kind, and the drinks so varied, so tempting, and abundant, as to give no opportunity to the guests to obtain a faithful and practical test of the ptmty of the spark ling waters of the Western Springs. The guests were conveyed to town as they had come, in the coaches and other vehicles provided.
