WATERWORKS BYE-LAWS.

The Council resolved itself into Committee ot the whole to consider the draft of the proposed Waterworks Bye-laws. On No. 1, Extraordinary supply, water troughs, £2 per annum each. Councillor Isaacs moved that the amount be reduced to £1. Councillor Brett thought the charge should bo struck out altogether. Councillor Isaacs motion was seconded and agreed to.

"Water-closets, hotels, £2 per annum. Councillor Brett moved that the charge be reduced to £1 each. If the Council charged £2 for each it would, in the case of some hotels, mean a tax of £15 to £20 per annum. In some hotels there were several water-closets and a bath room. He had taken the trouble to go round the hotels for the purpose of making him self thoroughly acquainted with the circum stances.

The Chairman said the opinion of Councillor Brett deserved attention, as he seemed to be thoroughly posted up on the question. Councillor Cosgrave: Better make him Inspec tor of Nuisances.

On the question being put to the vote, there were three for the charge of £1 and four for £2. Tin1 latter was therefore carried.

Water-closets, in private houses, £1 per annum each.

Councillor Isaacs moved that the item be struck out. It was double taxation, as the houses were already rated, and a high charge would only be oifering a premium for dirt. Councillor Cosgrave. seconded. He thought the ratepayers would have enough to do to pay the Is rate.

Councillor Waddell would protest against facilities being granted to residents in the neigh bourhood, when the ratepayers in his own ward woidd have to continue the earth-closet system for years.

Councillor Cosgrave: Have you no drainage in Hobson-street.

Councillor Waddell : Not the shadow of one. Councillor Cosgrave : You ought to have. Councillor Waddell: We have not even got a proper footpath. Councillor Masefield thought some charge should be made on private houses.

Councillor Isaacs' motion was put and nega tived.'

Councillor Brett moved, " that the rate be 10s,> which was seconded and agreed to.

Urinals in hotels, £2 per annum each. On the motion of Councillor Cosgravc this was reduced to£l.

Urinals in private houses, fit per annum each. Councillor Cosgrave moved that the item be struck out. Agreed to. Fixed baths, hotel and public, £3 each per annum.

Councillor Isaacs opposed the item. Councillor Brett hoped the hotel proprietors would avail themselves of the water supply for baths. At present there was only one hotel in Auckland with a fixed bath.

After further discussion, the £3 was retained. Fixed baths in private houses, 10s per annum each.

Councillor Brett proposed, and Councillor Cosgrave seconded, that the item be struck out. Agreed to. Temporary taps as per agreement. Agreed to. By metre. Manufacturers, 2s per lOOOgals. Agreed to. Steam boilers, 8s per lOOOgals. Agreed to. Shipping, 12s per lOOOgals. Councillor Cosgrave moved that the charge be Councillor Brett thought the amount should be increased. He thought it was unfair to tax residents and to let strangers go scot free.

The Chairman : Because a man is a stranger that is no reason why you should take him in.

, Con ncillor Brett: I move it be IGs. Coi icillor Masefield moved that it bo lte. The l"2s charge was retained. Councillor Isaacs moved that ships of war of all nations be exempt from payment. Councillor Dickson moved that the charge for ships of war be 4s per lOOOgals., which was agreed to. At stand-pipe, any quantity not exceeding 250 gallons, Is. The item was increased to 2s. Gd. By-law 2 was carried without amendment. By-law 3 was explained to be intended to nrsvent suburban Boards from watering the roaclri at tlu stand-pipes. The by-law was agreed to. On by-iaw ■!. "metres, Councillor Dickson said the clause placed too much arbitrary power in the hands of persons. He moved that after the word ' consumer," the following words be inserted: "Using the water for other than domestic purposes." The amendment was agreed to. On by-law 5, Councillor Wad dell said it was useless to make by-laws respecting metres when the Council bad no certainty of obtaining them The Chairman said the by-laws relating to metres could not be enforced until the metres ■were obtainable. By-laws G, 7, and 8 were agreed to. On by-law i), Councillor W addell asked it it was intended to prevent any person carrying down piping after hours to fill a boiler for in stance, witiiout calling in a licensed plumber. The Chairman said there was nothing to pre vent any person laying down india-rubber hose. These by-laws could not be interpreted literally. The by-law was agreed to, By-laws 10,11, and 12 were agreed to, By-law 13, Councillor Dickson moved that after the word " consumer," the words " who shall be liable to pay at whatever rate the said officer shall fix and determine," be struck out, and "accordingly"substituted. "Rates in arrear by-laws, 14 to 19 mclv- S1 By-law 20 & Councillor Masefield moved that "valve-cocks"by substituted for "stop-cooks." Agreed to. By-laws 21 to 2" were agreed to. The Council resumed, and the by-laws were agreed to with the amendments made in com mittee.

THE LAW'S LONG ARM.

At the Hull Police-court on AugusiKOin, .james Octavius Ward, a merchant, was charged with forging and uttering a bill of lading, which pur ported to refer to a parcel of wool and other merchandise, to arrive by the Russian steamer Xorniloff, Captain Demme. Ward raised money on this bill of lading, and absconded. A description of the prisoner was sent to all parts of the world, and eventually Ward -was arrested in Fiji. Threes limes he was taken before magistrates, and cacl) time discharged for want of 'evidence; but Sub-iiispector Hannan, the Fijian officer, fooling convinced that he was the man for whom a reward of £100 was ottered, watched his man from one island to another, and for the fourth time arrested him, and charged him with some breach of local law, on which he secured his remand until the authorities at Hull could be communicated with and an officer sent out. Detective Trafford, of the Hull force, was despatched to Fiji. On ar riving there he t'ullj identified Ward, and re ceived him into his custody. The officer and his prisoner arrived in Hull lasf week, and Ward was taken before the court on the following day. Captain Demme was present, and deposed that the signature on the bill of lading produced was a forgery. He also stated that on the voyage to ■which the fictitious document referred he brought nothingbut grain. This evidence being taken, the prisoner was remaridgd.

It is always gratifying to be able to refer to the success of any new local industry. The wants of civilized life are made up of an innumerable variety of trifles, the pro duction of any one of wliich is capable of affording employment to a large number of people. Looking at the immense variety of simple articles that are annually imported into Auckland, it has often been a matter of surprise that we continue to send out of the colony considerable sums of money for goods which could be easily manufactured here, and would afford remunerative employment for young and old of both sexes. Messrs Wil son & Co, of the Tikipounga Mill, Wangarei, has shewn a worthy example in this respect by the manufacture of a baking powder, •which, after due trial by housewives, bakers, cooks, and other equally competent judges, has been pronounced equal to the very best imported article, and superior to much of it, which suffers deteri oration by conveyance over sea. We have seen numerous local testimonials to the superiority of Mr Wilson's manu facture. Mr L. Damale, the " cuisinier" of the Northern Club, has found the powder excellent for culinary purposes, and a goof substitute for eggs in the manufacture o pastry of every description. Mr A. Kidd, of the Provincial Hotel, recommends the powder for bread and pastry as the best lie has ever used ; while Mr W. H. Pierce, of the Royal Mail, after due trial also speaks highly of the powder for bread and pastry. The manufacture may be obtained from Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co., who are the Auckland agents, but about the beginning of the new year Wilson & Co Avill have com pleted their arrangements for opening a branch manufactory in Auckland. Families, bakers, confectioners, and presiding genii of the kitchen ought to encourage local indus try and keep the money at home. The following further testimonials have been received by Mr Wilson: from Mr lihoderick McLeod, "Iona"; R. Prohl, "Argvle"; Heniy Sclfe, Newton ; W. Hamley, Wyn yard Arms.—Advt.
