F. Macnicol, who , esplaincd that in .iccordauce with a previous : resolution, tiie Committee had visited as • ' many of the members as pfissible. and had ' beenV^r-mteed over £W). Th.^ s-ip«in- ' xen-'i-:".' du.<± teachers of the school had ex:,:-.--- I a unanimous opiaioa that the ; "outlaid- should be iarqer thau at first ; contenr.-iated, and therefore the cost had i been LTcutly increivsc-d.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The fortnightly meeting of 'the Harbour Board was hold yesterday afternoon. Mk hawkeswooi/s claim.—The Com mittee appointed to consider this claim ior loss or riparian rights, reported that it would be better fov tie Board's .solicitor to pronounce upon the matter. {Several of the members expressed their astonishment at the Committee not having settled the difficulty. After several had spoken, Mr Cosgrave moved that Mr Hawkeswood be given 110 ft. freehold front aye to road, with a Crown grant, and 50ft water frontage free of rent for 66 years. Mr Malcolm Niccol seconded this. It -was also proposed that Mr Can- should be offered 94 years' lease of 50 feet frontage, and that Mr Otto should be given a Crown graat foi tiie land intervening between the road and the boundary to his allotment. Mr Daldy spoke strongly against tho amendments. They would be obliged to take the Attorney-General's opinion on the matter before they moved in it at all. Messrs Cosgrave, Thome, and Masefield spoke in favour of the amendment, and Mr Eaton and the Chairman against it. On the first amendment being put to the meet ing, it was carried by 7 against 3. Captain Daldy was about to propose, as a further amendment, "That the Attorney-General's opinion should be taken on the matter," ■when Mr Cosgrave suggested that that should be added as a proviso to his amend ment. Captain Daldy adopted this, and ihe proviso was added by general consent. The other amendments on the report were carried with the same proviso. EXPLANATION. — Mr Cosgrave explained that at a previous meeting he had been reported as having said that Captain McKeiszie was actuated by ulterior motives. This was a mistake, as he had not applied the term to Captain McKenzie at all. Ann CM, Statement. — The Chairman laid upon the table the annual statement of accounts of the Board. He called attention to the fact that there was no more money available for any new works. Captain Daldy wad it was evident that they would have to raise fresh revenue. The time was corning when they "would have to levy wharfage on all vessels, irrespective of any consideration. Captain Casey complimented the Secretary upon the care he had taken in preparing the statement. PUBLIC Baths. — Mr Brown moved that aa allotment between Hobson-street and Freemaus' Cay he reserved for public fresh water baths. The motion was seconded by Mr Cosgrave and vrell sur ported, but it was thought advisable to refer it to the Works' Com mittee. Referred accordingly. Reclamations. —Mr Masefield moved : "That this Hoard not being in a position to reclaim the land, and build necessary facing works in Freeman's Bay as orignally arranged witli the City Council, do now agree to pay tk cost of wood or stone facing along tht^mie or road having water frontage,at such price as the work may cost by public tender." Au amendment proposed by Mr. Brown and seconded by Captain Casey was carried, to the effect that the matter be referred to the Works' committee. Freeman's Bay Allotments. —Capt. Daldy moved, "That it be an in struction to the Endowment Committee in living the upset prke of allotments in Free man's Bay to make tl/e rent progressive at different periods of the lease." The motion was carried,with the addition of the words " and that all members of the Board be invited to attend the meeting- of the Eudmyment Committee, fit which the matter will be discussed," The meeting Jhen adjourned.

BUILDING AND INVESTMENT SOCIETY.

: A SITXIAL meeting of the Auckland Permanent Co-operative Building and investment Society was held in the offices, Queen-street, las: evening. There was a fair attendance of members, and the chair ■ was occupied by Colonel Haultain, who 1 introdnced tfae business by .stating that the ■ j.-icctiu-j- v.-as cvlled at the request of 25 j rule 15. so as to allow to lj--.i-nv.ying_ mem ; pi-oiits of tiie Society. At pre.-cut _S per • cent of the profits was devoted to iuvest -1 merits In shares, and the reiaf-inder given i a.s a bonus to the inve-tors. The eii'ect of the resolution would b-,- to cau.-e this bonus ,to be divided between the investor and ■ borrower. If the alteration effected the , object intended, viz., the extension of the ' operations of the society he was of opinion | that the investing shareholders would I derive as mnch beneilt as at present. The : diJierence on last year's bonus would only \ have reduced the bonus to investors '; per cent, by reducing it from -i' 4to 4 per cent, j Colonel Haultain then moved tiie reso lution, which appeared in our advertising i columns last evening. Mr F. Steadman seconded the resolution, \ which was agreed to.
