DUNEDIN, this day

In declaring with a demurrer by plaintiff to defendant's picas, in the case of fever in the hospital, .Judge Williams said : "What we have to decide is whether the powers •'iven by tho Public Health Act to the local board of health would enable them to divert tho land held by them in another Rapa city from the purpose to which it has been devoted, to divert it not temporarily, but permanently. I have no hesitation in hold ing that the Public Health Act gives no power of. the kind; As to the remedy being by prohibition, the local board of lieaith being a jndical body, f am of opinion that it in not tho case. The local boards of health are administrative body, and if it was a judlcal body, the Act now complained of is an Adminis trative Act. For these reasons I think the demurrer should be allowed with costs. Leave was given to amend the pleas.

PONSONBY HIGHWAY FUNDS WASTED.

Stk,—lt has often been complained that Auck land has never received justice. I am afraid this is only too true, both as regards the action of the Central Government and that oC local authorities. Tho cause, no doubt, has been the complete apathy of tho people. Were it not for this, pledged county councillors would not con template botrayinx their trust, and other public wrongs would not have been attempted. I have now, with your permission, to direct attention to another wrong that affects the people of the Ponsonby Highway District. Mr J. Jenkins, who was the usual valuator for the District, died about the beginning of last February, and the Board then advertised for another valuator. The delay consequent upon this made it impos sible to a.ppqint one until a day or two before the expiration of the time allowed for the valuations tinder the Act of lr,st session, and so tho new valuation was not completed withm the legal time. When the Appeal Court sat, the new valuation list was rejected on this ground, and, in the exercise of the power vested in him, Mr Bar stow at once appointed!Mr Stevenson to make out a new list. Mr Stevenson, I perceive from a letter in last night's Star, will have to be paid a con siderablo sum out of the District funds for this work. It struck mo. when I read of this appoint ment, that Mr Barstow, in order to utiliso the list already made at the expense of the District, and save the District funds, might have ap pointed Mr Jenkins, and I feel the district had a right to expect him to pursue this coiirse. I should like to know how it came to pass that this was not done. I should also wish to know how it happened that Mr Stevenson was at the Appeal Court ready to receive this appointment at once. The money that must necessarily be paid to Mr Stevenson, under tho arrangement I have suggested, and which is obviously the arrangement that ought to have been carried out, would be spout upon our roads, and without doubt the roads of Ponsonby require tho expen diture upon them of every penny that can be legitimately applied to the purpose.—l am, Sir, A Ponsonby Katki-ayku.

rAm'icKTtsraiKXT.l EDEN COUNTY COUNCIL.—IMPOR TANT NOTICE TO RATEPAYERS. .I bko to call attention to part 2, clause 11 of the Counties Act, viz ;—" The Council may, at any time within three months after its first meeting, determine by resolution/that such part of this Act as is mentioned in in third schedule shall not come into force in the County, and the Chairman shall forthwith send a copy of such resolution to the Colonial Secretary. If the Council does not pass such a resolution, the whole of the Act shall be doomed to have conic into force in the County." This is the Permissive Clause in the Act, and we would do well to call upon our members, and urge upon them the importance of hanging up the Act at once. If that is not done, the Act will come into force by the efluxion of time, that is, three months after the date of the first meeting of the Council, which took place on the 9th January. If this Act is not. hung up, our rates will at once be doubled, as by this Counties Act the Council have power to levy si rate not exceeding one shilling in the pound: besides a special rate can be levied. Now I would urge upon the rate payers not to sdve up all that Sir George Grey ami his supporters struggled so long and so hard to obtain for us in the Parliament last session. I would cal! upon you to remember the prophetic words of Sir George Grey, that this system of centralising everything will result in a nation of down trodden serfs. ' The struggle for separa tion is not over yet, and will be renewed with fresh vigour as soon as the Assembly meets, and Freedom's battle once begun, Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, Though baffled oft is ever won. I am. etc.,— Ratepayer.



The concert on the 22nd instant, at the Choral Hall, is likely to be a great success and much credit is due to Dr Ellis and his supporters in producing such an excellent programme for the occasion. The object of the concert is to raise money for increasing tne library of the Young Men's Christian Association. Every person who has had any practical experience with literary socie ties is aware that in no instance arc they self-supporting ; consequently extra exer tions are occasionally necessary. Many persons do not immediately need the benefits conferred by such institutions'; but for the spoke of the young people whose minds need furnishing with instruction and knowledge to lit them for the battle of life, it should be felt a pleasant duty to contri bute a yearly sum towards their support. Dr Ellis and'the ladies and gentlemen who . are studiously preparing for the coming, concert in favour of the library are entitled to the thanks of the community. We need not specially refer to the programme fur ther than by observing that our best vocalists and musicians, assisted by lierr Schott, wilt give their talent. The ladies aye Mrs Ellis, Misses Leaf, Maunseli, Vaughaft, cud a lady amateur ; the gentle men, Messrs Gra&well, Harding, and Brett. ])r Ellis will give two reading*, p?xe from the writings im tha learned blacksmith vi America, and the other i'rom Mosetey, the Uumouriat, The comic and sentimental is nktviy balanced throughout, ami an excel* lent muaieelj balk&i and literary evQuiiig
