__________■■___.___■ ■ ii 11 i ■ ; _; the question of increased salftry was mooted. The .present audience would remember Mi- Reader Wood stating, in reply to a question, that the Borough system was not more ex-, pensive than the highway unless they choose to make it so. However, on the district becoming a Borough, Mr Strange wanted an increase of salary. lie (Mr Wobd) opposed the proposal then made. Nevertheless, the fact remained that Mr Strange received some £220 out of the last year's rate*. On commencing kerbing and channelling Mr Strange, though Surveyor, offered to employ a man to inspect the stones used, if tie contractor would pay liim. (Laughter). The contractor declined, but told the Surveyor to condemn all stone a not suitable, as it would be no loss to the Contractor. Payments proceeded week Ly week until the close ot the woik. At a financial meeting of the Borough, Mr Strange was found to have added to the assets £30, as a hue due from the con tractor for being behind time in completing his work. Mr Strange was asked dis tinctly was the work done to his satis faction. He replied yes. Captain Brackenbury said Mr Wood had previously acknowledged himself in error on this point. Mr Strange (sotto voce) to Mr Wood : Three or four asked questions at once, and you'took the answer that bent suited you. :' Mr Wood went on to state tnat ample reasons had led the Council to remit the fine. Respecting the widow's rate, he offered to pay six shillings and did so. Mr Wood thought that at such a large meeting some resolutions should be passed relating to the Patutahi lands, but as the meeting" seemed called for other purposes, he would leave it. Captain Brackenbury said it was an in sult to the burgesses, when a meeting called by 70 respectable men was called a clique meeting. Was it a clique meeting ? (Voices: "Yes,yes. What's the meeting about ? Why wasn't the business announced ?") He bore testimony to the high opiuion in which the Surveyor _a«L_beeu held by the Council. Hecontinued a severe criticism of Mr Wood's reply, and of the contractor's shortcomings, being interrupted by several, Mr Lennard angrily demanding how much more stuff they woe going to hear. He was prepared to show that the whole affair was -a swindle. (Great uproar.) Captain Brakenbury concluded by stating that the Council had paid contractor all but £65, leaving £100 worth of work un finished. They had l emitted the £30 fine. (Voice: "Quite right.") He stigmatised their action as a crime and injustice, and a blot on the Council. There being no other speaker, the chair man declared the meeting closed, and rose from his chair. The audience, however re mained still, and called loudly for Mr Dar gaville. Mr Dargaville came forward and said he came to the meeting to hear what the meet ing was about. He hoped all felt edified. He thought it a pity for so large and in fluential a meeting to close without some valuable resolution being passed. He attributed the omission to the modesty of previous speakers. (Loud laughter.) After paying a high compliment to Mr Moss, M.H.R., ior his- exertions and ability, Mr Dargaville proposed, " That the chair man of this meeting be requested to transmit to our representative at Wellington (Mr Moss) the thanks of the ratepayers.^ as represented by this meeting for hia services to the district." Captain Biackenbury seconded the resolu tion which was carried, and the meeting ■ separated with thaDks to the chairman who had resumed the chair.

Much ado is being made at the present time about the tax on Beer, and the cry is—" Why tax tho poor man any more." But without dis cussing the pros, and cons, of the above tax, J. LEVY would call the attention of the Public of Auck land-and especially the Working Classes—to the Great Reduction which he has made m the price of Men's, Boy's, and Youth's READY-MADE CLOTHING. This great reduction on what is realiy i necessary for the Working Man's comfort, will more than recompense him for the tax on beer. Warm Clothing is a nsces-ity ; Beer is a . luxury. Be wise, therefore, and have , necessities first, and if you have any spare Cash '. afterwards, then indulge in luxuries. J. LEVY does not {"tend in this advertisement to suy much, as the Parb'amentary reports occupy so much space, but he has no fear but the few remarks he has offered will cause men to think aright, and if they are wi&e, they will lose no time in calling upon their old friend.who assures them that he has in stock everything that is requisite for their requirement?. ; J. LEVY i Makes no apology for republishing his PRICE LIST again.
