Further changes arr about to be made in the police, Sergeaut Smith being about to be transferred to Dunedin. This is said to be in consequence of some unpleasantness between Detective Farrell and the rest of the police, who are scarcely upon speaking terms. Attention having been drawn to j the matter in Court and in the uewspapers, the Government commenced an enquiry into the cause yesterday. Proceedings, however, are kept private. The " Times" ventures that Mr Wood, of Mataura, will get into a difficulty by accepting a nomination to Legislative Council until twelve months have elapsed after he has ceased to be a member of the House of Representatives. It is said the call will shortly be gazetted. Amongst other vessels sighted by the Otaki was the ship Hurunui, bound to Lyttelton.

No one seemed to know what was his or her duty. It was resolved to hold a special meeting to consider the whole question. The secretary was in structed to write to the Government to say that members of the Boards were not gazetted,in accordance with a request previously expressed, they could decline to act any further, as they considered the neglect of .the Government to gazette them as an insult to the whole Board. Alto gether the entire meeting was most acri monious, and Mr Montgomery said if such a pleasant mess was to prevail he should certainly resign. : OFFICIAL INSPECTION.

Plaintiff received about £1,000 in excess of his shares on the occasion of the sale of the "Times" to Messrs Reed and Pen wick, and some dispute having arisen he placed the money in the hands of the liquidators. They refuse to give it back to him, and purpose distributing it pro rata among all the original shareholders. Tne Rev. Mr Standford will not agree to this, and has Bued them for it. THE PRIMATE. _, _ _ Bishop Harper the Primate of New Zealand arrived in Dunedin yesterday from the Lambeth Congress, and was welcomed at the railway station by Archdeacon Edwards and members for Christchurch and England.

CITY COUNCIL.—THIS DAY.

Ths ordinary meeting was held at 2.30 this afternon, H. Brett (Mayor), in the chair. Present: Councillors, Hay, Thompsom, Isaacs, Peacock, Crowther, Buchanan, Waddel, aud Cosgrave.

ADDRESS BY THE MAYOR. The minutes having been read and con firmed, The Mayor said: Gentlemen,-As this Will, mall probability, be the last meeting at which I shall preside for the purpose of con ducting Council business, I have had pre pared annual reports of the proceedings and works undertaken by the Council during the Past year. These reports I have now much Pleasure iv laying before you. I think they will be found satisfactory, showing as they <j°i that alarge amount of useful work has been aone during the' past year, and that in the way of improvements the city is making marked progress. Much more, however, fetnains to be done ; but my successor will nffiVe the a(*vailtage during his term of i^?? oi. enabling the ratepayers to benefit y tne increased revenues derivable from ™c endowments, the greater part of the bpv? y alaal3lc leases expiring in August "7; by which there will be a great aug mentation of receipts from this source. I trust

that as a result, a considerable^ reduction in the present taxation, of the city, consis tent with a due provision for ordinary re ■ quirements, will become possible. It has not been advisable hitherto to reduce the general rate upon which the Government pay the subsidy of £1 for £1. On taking office in December last, I expressed the opinion that the Council should push on as rapidly as possible permanent improve ments in streets and drainage, and open up new areas of city lauds by good roads. This policy has been steadily pur sued ; over £21,000_ were expended on various works in the city during the year. I am pleased to observe that the formation of streets has, as I anticipated, led to erection of a number of substantial pro perties in parts of the city that were pre viously but little built upon. ■ This will have a material effect upon the valuation, on which our assessment is based. The ex penditure for formation and drainage of streets iv City West has been £15,04*7 8s 2d, aud a further £2,G00 is authorised for the cutting of Wyndham and Hobson-streets. The same attention has not been paid to City East, Avhere the expenditure was only £774 9s sd. The Council was bound in this matter, to a large extent, by the Act under which the Eudowmeut Loan was raised. There is now, however, a prospect that the claims of City East will receive more attention Levels have been hxed for Waterloo Quadrant, Eden Crescent, and Jermyn street; and the plans for the much-needed approaches to Parnell are ready, and, I trust, will be settled early, in order that the various streets' may receive atten tion. It is much to be regretted that the permanent levels of all the streets of the city were not fixed years ago, as consider able expense would have been saved to the ratepayers and property-owners. I have done my utmost to press this matter on, aud over twenty streets have had permanent levels finally settled; aud plans are pre pared for nearly all the remaining ones. Another matter that has received attention is the formation of substantial footpaths ; 13,000 yards of asphalt hare been laid, at a cost of £2,543. The durability of this pave ment is now thoroughly established, and it seems to give universal satisfaction. I believe it will prove to be much cheaper iv the long run than scoria. In dealing with the Water Supply there has been the diffi culty arising from the heavy annual charge for interest, which rendered it impossible to reduce the special rate. Some relief was, however, afforded to owners of large build ings, upon whom the consumers' tariff pressed most heavily. The charge to ship ping has also been lowered, aud is now more moderate than at any other port in the colony. The revenue derived from the use of the water shows a steady increase, and I think we should still look to this source for the means of reducing the special rate. The £25,000 loan, as suggested in the beginning of the year, was floated on most satisfactory terms, and the in justice which a number of ratepayers suf fered —through being compelled to pay for what we were not able to supply—will soon be removed. The benefit of the water, as a means of extinguishing fire, aud also with respect to the sanitary condition of the city, has been fully demonstrated. The death rate, it is satisfactory to observe, shows a steady decline, notwithstanding the increase of our population. The figures were respectively in 1876 248 deaths 1877 ISI deaths 1878 173 deaths The business at the City Abattoirs has very largely increased during the year. Prom the Inspector's report it will be seen that while in December, 1577, only 467 head of cattle were killed, the slaughtering is now at the rate of 2000 head per month. The revenue derived from the establishment is sufficient to pay fair interest on the outlay. One of the most important things secured by my attendance at the Municipal Conference, Wellington, was power to enforce an efficient system of inspection on all meat brought into the city. Shortly after taking office, I moved for the establish ment of fresh and salt water public baths on the site granted by the Harbour Board. At that time, however, the Council were not prepared to enter upon the undertaking. I am glad to observe now, however, that the initial steps have been taken to revive the question; and I trust that, in the interest of public health, the work will be pushed on this summer. In this respect, the city has been behind other towns in the colony ; although, owing to the*warmth of the climate, baths are much more essential here. An amended tariff, reducing the hackney carriage fares, has been brought into operation with most satisfactory results. The reports laid before you will afford full information on other matters that have been dealt with during the year. The departments of the Council, through the exertions of the Town Clerk, are generally in an efficient state; although there are some matters that still require attention. I have received every assistance from Mr Philips, whom I believe to be one of the most qualified municipal officers in the colony, ln retiring from the chair, I desire very much to thank you for the considerate courtesy I have uniformly received from the Council. It has been my desire to act at all times conscientiously and impartially ; and I trust that I have succeeded, without causing any needless irritation, or disturbing that harmony and personal good feeling which should prevail in public bodies.

VOTE OF THANKS TO THE MAYOR,

Mr Peacock, the Mayor elect, said : Your Worship and gentlemen, before proceeding to the ordinary business of the day I rise to propose a vote of thanks to your Worship for your conduct in the chair during your term of office. I am a young member of the Council, but I think I know suffi cient of its mind to say that your con duct has been satisfactory to them; and I am sure so far as my knowledge goes, your conduct has also been satisfac tory to the public whom you have repres ented in that chair. If anything were wanting to confirm that it would be found iv the expressed opinions I have heard, that had it been your wish to again occupy tbe chair for another year, such occupation would have given satisfaction. Conncillor Isaacs said : I fully concur in every word and sentiment which has been expressed by Councillor Peacock. _ 1 believe the Council and the citizens are perfectly satisfied with your actions as Mayor during your year's service in office. (Hear hear). Coancillor Peacock put the motion, which was carried unanimously. Charitable Institutions. — Letter from the Colonial Secretary's office, calling attention to the Financial Arrange ment Act ot last session, as affecting the management of Hospitals and Charitable aid ; and suggesting that in order to enable the Government to place half the cost on the consolidated revenue, the Mayor endeavour to bring about a local or municipal organisation to carry out the management and control of these institu tions, and reply by telegram, when further details would be submitted. The Mayor said that during his visitjjto Wellington he had received the assurances of the Auckland members that they, in conjunction with the representatives of Canterbury and other districts, would see that the subsidy was annually voted. Councillor Waddell considered that Auck land city would be saddled with large expen diture from the country.—Councillor Buchanan moved, Councillor Fleming seconded, and it wa3 uuanimously agreed to, that the Council decline to accept the res ponsibility until the matter shall have been definitely settled by Act. ■- Remission of Rates*—-Letter from Mr Walter McCaul asking remission of rates ou a shop in Shortland-street, as it had not been let for the last eighteen months, r Councillor Buchanan moved, and Coun cillor Isaacs seconded, that the Council have not the power to grant the request. Agreed

WVst End Cricket Ground.—Letter from Thomas Walker, lessee of the Council, complaining that the cricketers playing on the West End Cricket Ground were con

tinually hitting their cricket 4all over -_{*. fence, to the danger of his family, and sub sequently getting over the fence to recover it, thus destroymg his fence. OQ th ie ,moti °n of Councillor Isaacs, seconded by Councillor Buchanan, the matter was referred to the Works Com mittee.

Abakdoning Lease.—Letter from H \V. Napper, asking leave to abandon the lease of a house, in Park Road, held by him ™ni the Council, aud which expires iv 1880; also, asking compensation for having prevented injury to the Park property while residing there. ?. Referred to Works Committee. Mi- Anderson to be requested to report . Reduction of Rent.-Letter from R. b. Lincoln, asking for reduction of leut of allotment at. the corner of Symoud and Mount-streets from July last, as the present high rate prevented him making use of it. Councillor Buchanan moved, and Coun cillor Waddol seconded that the request be not complied with. Agreed to. Domain Waterpipes.-Letter from the Secretary of the Domain Board in reference to the removal of the water pipes connect ing Messrs Seccombe's Brewery to the cricket ground, stating that if the City Council would connect the pipes already laid on from the Hospital to the cricket ground, erect a stand-pipe, and supply water free of charge, the Board would have no objection to removing the pipes required the connection to be made at a point before reaching the Hospital. Cr. Buchanan moved that the request be granted.—Cr. Isaacs thought the request should not be granted, when the Council had refused to grant free water to the public baths.—Cr. Crowther thought water should be provided in the Domain to assuage the public thirst in hot weather.— Cr. Buchanan moved that the Town Clerk be iustructed to apply for more 'delinite information.—Cr. Peacock suggested ulso that the Town Clerk should ascertain bow much water would be required. He would second the motion on that understand::ig. —The Mayor said the eonveuk ~cc would not be so much for the cricketers as for the general public. -- It would be very hard if the public could not obtain a free glass of water on a Satur day night.—Cr. Waddell thought the cost should uot come out of the consumers rate, nor should the concession be granted outside the city where the Council had no control.—Cr. Hay moved, aud Cr. Pleming seconded, that the matter be referred to the Public Works Committee.

Footway in Chapel-street.—Petition from twenty-four residents in Chapel street for a scoria footway during the present improvements to give them an opportunity to go to and from their houses.

It was agreed that a reply be sent in ac cordance with the report of Mr Anderson. Removal of Verandahs. — Petitiou from eight leaseholders in Victoria-street, between Albert and Chapel-streets, praying thot their verandahs might not be removed until the completion of their leases. Moved by Councillor Cosgrave, seconded by Councillor Isaacs, that the matter bs re ferred to the Works Committee. Agreed to.

Public Works Committee Report.— The Public Works Committee recommended (1) That the Victoria and Albert-street fire-bell be removed to opposite the Fire Brigade station, and fenced; aud that the bell at the junction of Queen and Grey streets be re-cast and re-hung. (2) That no compensation be granted to T. A. Watt, Collingwood-street. (3) That the work of cutting High-street to permanent levels receive consideration in due course.

Messrs Graham, Squrrell, McKerras, Staines, Wade, Power, and others attended in support, beiug also represented by Mr J. B. Russell and Mr Buddie.

An application from residents in Free man's Bay requested the erection of a fire bell near the old block-house.—Councillor Waddell mjved and Councillor Cosgrave seconded, that the matter be referred to the Works Committee. Agreed to.

ANNUAL REPORTS,

The reports by Council officers were laid on tho table of the Council.

Town Clerk's Report.—ln this report, Mr Philips stated that the Government have granted as an endowment a block of 1,500 acres—(including a village reserve) situate in Panakitere District, near to Hokianga (North), reported to bo very good land, bounded by a river, aud on tho main road at the Bay of Islands. The Town Clock has been lighted with gas. A large plan of the City has been pre pared for public use, which will, when com pleted, show the various gradient levels of all streets fixed, sewers, gas pipes, gas lamps., water mains, fire plugs, air valves, stand posts,—Endowment Building areas, reserves.&c. Insurance of Properties on the i:ity -.endow ments.—During tho year insurances have been, effected on the various properties on City property, to the amount of interest affected, including abattoir building, pumping station, covering risks to the value of nearly £20,000. Mr W. Clark, a sanitary engineer of some eminence, having visited Auckland, the Council availed themselves of his services to prepare a careful and elaborate plan for the construction of, and disposal of sewage ; the Harbour Board co-operating by contribution. After examina tion of locality and particulars, all levels and information has been forwarded to Mr Clark, who is preparing plans in .England, and will forward same early in the year. A large number of valuable suggesdonsfor amendments required in tho " Corporations and Rating Act" were for warded to Wellington at this Con ference (the Mayor acting as representative of this Council). Several of the moat important have been embodied in the " Corporation Amendment Act, 1878," notably :—Land con tiguous to a Borough, if not included in the latter, to be subject to all the By-laws in force thereat ; all waterworks to be exempt from rates; power to extend water or gasworks out side Boroughs; power to lease Markets from ono to three years; additional power in rela tion to private streets—none to be of a less width than 66 feet; power to frame by-laws and appoint Inspectors to examine all meat sold within a Borough, with a penalty of £10. And amending several technical errors in previous Acts; to prevent accidents that are constantly occurring from the use of cheap but dangerous oils, a system of testing all imported before landing, has been arranged. That no district ioining a Municipality shall be liable for any Special Loan Rates expended, thus enabling any district that may be desirous of joining this Municipality to do so without any greater liability for rates than exists within their own districts atipresent. And such united borough may have not less than 12 and not exceeding 21 members of Council. The number of Council meetings have been 32, and the number of Committee meetings 60 during the year. Water Supply.—On this subject the Town Clerk reports: The total revenue, received from water supply, for the past six months, £1,14112s 2d; being aa increase of £300, as com pared with the previous half-year: and as this increase has occurred during the winter season, it may be considered a3 a favourable advance in the use of water. The reduction of the rate from I to 3 per cent, on buildings rated at from £100 to £200 ; and from i to 2_ on those rated at £200 and upwards, has greatly relieved hotel keepers and others occupying large buildings. The supply of shipping has been reduced i o one shilling per ton, and a less ra.te for local steamers; making the prices charged here tha lowest of any part of tho colonies. The plan of using water by meter is now more general; there are thirty-three at present in use. Water is now laid on to the Lunatic Asylum, Gaol, Hospital, and Auxiliary Lunatic Asylum; as well as to the Post-office and all Government Buildings in the city. The Railway is also supplied. City Abattoir.—The Inspector (Mr Wool field) rej orts: That portion of the estate allotted to the abattoirs, containiug 112 acres, has all been substantially fenced, and sab-divided into twelve paddocks of various sizes, containing from four, to fifteen acres each, all well supplied with water. Five workmen's cottages, stabling, and drafting yards have been" erected. The water supply for cleansing purposes as also the dtainage, are perfect; and there can be no doubt that the city possesses one of the most perfect abattoirs in New Zealand, with the advantage of being within three miles of the city, on a good road with no tolls. The total coet of the abattoirs, fenciDg, cottages, &c, was £5,000. The present income, including fees and rentals, is at the rate of .£BSB, per annum; while the expenses of management, including the -rental the property brought before being adapted to its present purpose, is £262 per annum; leaving a profit of £596. While on the one handjtbe city is deriving this financial benefit, the butchers hav.e in addi tion effeoted a saving of £319 6s 3d, caused by

I have again to eat .wha£ x stated in my report for the year £ 77'.F?,: Jt ,is necessary that the Brigade should be supplied, with a hook and ladder carriage to enable them to arrive quickly at the scene of the fire, and thus combat the flames at an early stage, and not as at present to di ag the plant to tho scene of the fire and thu3 lose precious time. In the one case the men arrive freßh, in the other they are exhausted." Sanitary Inspector.—Mr Goldie's report re fers to the sanitary condition of the city, and the number of carriage licenses issued.

"THE CHINAMAN MUST GO."

A Song for thh: Times. A shadow rests on many a home, A. brooding penae of fear, For ships are crossing ocean's foam, To bring the Heathen here To take the place of Christian men, To dig, to weave, and sow. For soon the time is coming when " The Working-man must go." On laboura' tan'd.and honest face There is a look of gloom; Supplanted by the cheaper race, The weaver leaves his loom. To alien hands the husbandman Resigns the spade and hoe, While peals from lips with famine wan, " The Chinaman must go." And ye whose greed hath flll'd the land With misery and want. Think ye that we will tamely stand, Or heed your heartless cant? Think ye tho Saxon spirit dead? I tell ye, rich men, "No !" We claim the right to earn our bread, '• The Chinaman must go." Oh working men—arise, unite, And drive from out the land The yellow curse, the heathen blight, That palsies labours'hand; Join in one stern indignant cry, Let the oppressors know Thar, white men will not starve and die, " The Chinaman must go." T.S., Onehunga.
