COLONIAL ;WINE,

The report of the Local Industries Com mission, {states that they have ascertained that -vine of excellent quality is produced in various parts of the colony, and but for the restrictions imposed by lan, and the absence of provision for retailing colonial wine except by public-house license, the trade is practically suppressed. The Com. niissioneisare of opinion that it ought to be encouraged, on tbe grouud _of its alibrding remunerative occupation iv a now branch of agriculture, and will supply the public with a cheap aud whole some baverage. Tbe Commission recom mend that there should be special facilities jn the Licensing bill before Parliament, for the salo of New Zealand wines for con sumption on the premises.

THE GOVERNMENT '•EUCHRED"

ON THE BEEIC TAX.

A great commotion has been created by the fae: that the intention to impose a Ceer Tax leaked out, and was telegraphed to vat ions parts of the colony, enabling the brewers to eicar quantities ot beer, and to evade many thousand pounds duty. Searching inquiries are proceeding, and if the offence caube traced home, the offender will be sacked.

MINISTERIAL SALARIES,

The "N.Z. Times" to-day, referring to Sir Geo. Grey's motion to reduce the Minis terial salaries, says that he while Premier pocketed the extra five hundred allowed for entertaining without spending sixpence of it. Strong efforts are being made to reduce members' honorariums.

THE DRAINAGE BILL,

Mr Murray made a long speech in moving the second reading of his usual annual Drainage Bill, which has a Vogelian smack about it. Mr Murray expatiated in glow ing terms on the mauifold advantages of borrowing money from the Govern ment instead of further trespassing ou the liberality of the English land-holders, aud quoted the celebrated testimonial from Sir Robert Peel.

Mr Shepherd made a fierce onslaught on Mr Murray's hobby, but Major Atkinson took the bantling under his wing, ou the condition that Mr Murray remits the Bill to the Committee ou Agriculture, and does not a3*k any monetary aid from the Govern ment.

The second reading was carried by forty to fifteen, and the Bill.was referred to tho Committee on Agriculture.

MORE WHITEWASHING.

Another whitewashing bill, tbe Proclama tions Validations, passed to validate certain blundered notification?.

TOE LICENSING BILL,

Mr Speiylit then resumed bis speech on the Licensing Bill which was forcible and replete with practical suggestions. He depicted in eloquent terms the injustice of removing restrictions against granting spirit licences on native district?, and advocated a "-pedal billiard license for hotels, billiard tables apart f-om hotels being free of license in order to enable youug meujto enjoy a game without temptations ]to drink. He designated clubs as mere gam bling saloons 'which should be subject .to police supervision, and spoke with happy effect when depicting the sufferings of t>ie wives and families of drunkeu husbands, but said their delicacy and self-s'acriiice would prevent their publicly prosecuting hotel-keepers who encouraged their hus bands in drunkenness, lie suggested that private statements should be permitted before Justices of tbe Peace for complaiit. The speaker was loudly cheered on con clusion. Mr Bowen condemned the pro posed family hotel licenses as leading 'to unrestricted drinking at late hours, audi it would extinguish bona tide travellers, 'ihe Bill was read a second timo. The discussion on the second reading of the Auctioneers Bill continued until a quarter to 1 o'cloQk. Dr Wallis made another characteristic speech. I

In reply to Mr Bain, Major Atkinson said that there was a difference between building societies and other companies as to the basis upon which the former are to pay the tax under the Property A sse3»meut Acr, 1879. The chauge is provided for by section 13 of the Act.

Mr Finn asked if the Government intend to make any provision towards contiuuing the granting of Innd scrip to Volunteers for long service ; and if not, do they consider the Volunteers entitled to auy remuneration for their services.

Mr Bryce replied that grants of land had long been stopped. That it was dune with the conseut of Parliament. Speaking for himself, he thought it was more likely that n reduction would be made instead of in crease by way of remuneration.

NEW BILLS,

The following Bills were introduced and read a fiist time :—East Coast Native Land Settlement Bill (Mr McDonald) ; to per petuate a recognition of the public serrices of W. S. Moorhouse iv the Province of Can-crbury (Sir George Grey); to amend the Crown Grants Amendment Act, 1870 (Mr Kolleston).

The motion was agreed to.

the murimotu difficulty,

Mr Ballance moved that there be laid on the table all papers and correspondence, and copy of any contract relating to land at Murimotu.—Agreed to.

municipal corporation bill,

Tbe House resumed at 7.30. Mr Hutchison moved the second reading of the Municipal Corporation Act Bill. Mr Braudon directed atteutioil to what he considered a number of arbitrary clauses in the Bill. The Bill largely dealt with provi-ions for enabling Corporations to alter the level of streets without making the slightest compensation to adjoining pro perties. What he contended for was that owners so situated should be entitled to reasonable compensation for damage occa sioned to the properties. Mr Andrew wu-hed the Bill to be post* poned, ' '. • *"." ■■ • ■ '

Mr Shrimski objected to further borrow ing power being given to local bodies. Mr Pitt couteuded that tbe powers sought for as against the owners of private pro perry were not so arbitary as they had been represented. Mr Speight said that in the view of the proposals made by fits Colonial Treasurer, giving almost unlimited powers to local bodies to improve taxation, be had filtered his opinion o.i the .subject, and would vote against the proposal to do away with the plurality of votes. Mr Dick said the Government would allow the Bill to be read a secoud time, but that Hie various corporations should have an opportunity of fully considering the provi sions before it was piessed further. Mr Barron concurred iv the views ex pressed by the previous speaker. Mr Hutchison replied that he had no objection to follow the suggestion for delay.J The motion was then put and carrrietl, and the Bill ordcicd to bo committed ou that day three week?.

DRAINAG3 BILL,

Mr Murray moved the second reading of the Drainage Bill. It would go a great deal towardsadvancing thc^agricultural interest, besides increasing the labour at a period when seasonable pursuits were at a stand still.

The Bill was read a second time, aud referred to the Committee for Agricultural Subjects.

LICENSING BILL.

Tne adjourned debate on the second read ing of the Licensing Bill was then resumed by Mr Speight, who objected to the pro posal for Native licenses to Natives. He likewise objected to the proposal that clubs should not be subject to police supervision. What was aimed at by a police supervision was to prevent illegal practices being engaged ou in] these premises. Had] they never heard of gentlemen being disgraced and expelled from clubs because they had cheated at cards ? That showed that these placrs demand strict super vision. He strongly advocated that where ever a license was required the police super vision should be carried along with its Family hotels' licensing proposals would secure highly respectable houses, if honestly carried out ; but—and there the d'llicttlty arose—it was not likely to bo carried out strictly. Regarding clause 160, providing for the supply of liquor to children under 16" years of age, he said—how was it possible for a publican to ascertain what was the age of the persons applying for liquor ? Mr Bo wen agreed with the general pror visionsof the Bill, but thought it might be materially amended in committee. He objected to the bottle licence, and was glad to see a proposal to do away with them.

Mr Fulton agreed to the proposal to abolish tbe bottle licence. He knew a person who once held a license, and is now a Licensing Commissioner. That gentle man told him his men were constantly be ing applied to by the females of the district to supply them with bottles of liquor, and to make the entry in their book as eggs, butter, and other articles, or else have them put down in the bills as groceries.

Sir Wi Pox's motion for an adjournment till to-morrow evening was carried.

AUCTIONEERS' LICENSES,

Mr Dick moved the second reading of the Auctioneers' Licensing Bill, the object of which was to bring the law on the sub ject under ourgcneral law.

Mr Levin said he was aware that auc tioneers in this eiiy were desirous of sug gesting amendments, and asked that this day fortnight be named for taking tho Bill into committee. t '■*"'■•

Dr Wallis took objection to the Bill. The fees were too high. It would throw the business wholly into the hands of largo firms, and the trade would be restricted. Instead of £-10 he would suggest £10. Again, the penalties were far too high.

Mr TurnbuJl supported the Bill, . Mr Shrimski suggested tho fee should be increased to £100. ...

Mr Sctldou spoke of the allocation of the fees amongst the local bodies within whoso district the licenses would be exercised. Mr Hick replied, and stated that he had no wish to hurry the Bill on.

The motion,was put and carried. At. 12.30 a.m. the House adjourned.

CITY COUNCIL.

THB fortnightly meeting of this body took place last bight, there being present: The Mayor, and Councillors Goldie, Fleming, Nathan, Aicken, Offer, Thompson, Waddel, Crowthcr, and Buchanan.

discussion

A Request For Co*Mr?NSaVrro:;. —Mr W. F. Gayue wrote from New Plymouth complaining of "the very great hardship and serious loss " he had been put to by the recent cutting down of Cook-street, and hoping that such compensation a.s his special case merited would be awarded, [or that at all events Insiatcs might be reduced to one half their present amount. He had bad four houses in Cook-street, but iv consequence of hearing that tbo Inspector of Nuisances had threatened ta have them pulled down, he had forestalled the officer's intention by removing th^m altogether. A memo, by the Town Clork stated -that the premises referred to had been occupied by disreputable characters, and that the Sanitary Inspector bad had occasion to iufnrcc cleanliness at the re quest of the neighbourhood.' Although the houses were deemed uulit for human habitation no threat of having them pulled down had been made use of.—lt was agreed to forward a reply, giving 'the substance of the information contained in the memo.

CIIOWN GRANT.—A communication from the Colonial Secretary's office was read. It acknowledged the receipt of a letter from the Council with reference to tbe Crowu Grant issued to the Auckland Col lege aud Grammar School, and stated in re ply that the matter was under the consider ation of the Crown Lands Department. A letter on the ssmie subject was received from the Secretary of the Grammar School Board of Governors.

Equine Exercise.—Mr John Smith ap plied for permission to exercise his horses in walking on the Barrack Hill.—The re quest was acceded to on the understanding that the public were not inconvenienced.: Ah Acknowledgement.—Mr F. D. Fenton wrote acknowledging the recsipt of the Council's resolution on the subject of the Transfer of Powers Bill of last session.

Compensation Claim. — Sarah and Thomas Craig (wife aud husband) forwarded through their solicitor (Beveridge and Alexander) a claim for £30, as compensa tion for injury done to their property in Graham-street by reason of certain Corpor ation works —It was resolved not to enter tain the claim.

Ooffes Stall.—Mr J. G. Read re quested leave to erect in Victoria-street East, between the Greyhound Hotel and Roth's Baths, a stall for the sale of pies, coffee, "s*c, dining the nighttime. Inspec tor Goldie reported as follows upon the ap plication :—"I do not think it would be advisable to grant a stand for such a pur pose. I consider it au unnecessary calling. The majority of those who patronise such establishments are not the well-behaved aud respectable portion of citizens."— Councillor Goldie dissented trom 'the In spector's opinion altogether. Such stalls were a great convenience, aud he had more than once resorted to the coffee stall for refreshment.—Councillor Nathan corrobor ated this statement. He had seen many respectable people patronising such .stalls. — Councillor Waddel thought the Inspector's ideas on the subject had their rise in a want of knowledge of existing requirements. He had retired to the salubrious suburb of the North Shore, and of course knew not how the coffee-stall system suited in the city.— Councillor Aickin considered that these coffee-stalls were a real benefit as affording a counter-attraction to the public-houses. They were a great convenience also to printers and persons generally who were obliged to labour at night, and they sup plied that refreshment for which otherwise recourse would be had to the hotels.—lt was -agreed to grant the application on pay ment of the requisite fee, aud provided the man is of good character. BEACH Road.—A letter was received from the Secretary of the Harbour Board enclosing a copy of the proclamation of boundary of wharves, and intimating that the matter of contributing towards the repair, of the Beach Road would be con sidered at the next meeting of the Board.— The Town Clerk was directed to request

Gentlemen, —I am instructed by the Committee of the Auckland Amateur Athletic Club to bring under your notice the necessity that exists for preserving sufficient space in the Albert Park suitable for all kinds of outdoor sports, there being no other available ground nearer than the Domain, and this being the only spot, at all suitable, likely to be at the disposal of the civic authoiities, cither at present or in the future, the Committee respectfully b3g that you will give favourable consideration to this matter before taking action in tho formation of the Park.-1 am, etc., E. N. R. i'OBDEB, lion. Sec, A.A.A.C."—The Town Clerk was directed to inform the writer that the Council did not at present contemplate taking any action iv the matter. An Indignant Bukghss.— Mr John Finlay, of the tipper end of West Queen street, wiote complaining of the refusal of the dust contractor to remove the contents of certain boxes of rubbish and hen mauure which the residents had placed on the foot path. The writer concluded his letter with the plaintive observation that " his (the contractor's) capers has become quite unbearable," accompanied by the fervent hope ''that you will put a stop to his wholesale tyranny, and that we will be able to get on bettor."—A memo by the City Surveyor stated that no manure was sup posed to be removed by the refuse collector. —Referred to Works Committee.

WATER.—Messrs Becdell and Field, of the Eden brewery, requested the Council to lay down a good main to their premises instead of i( the present useless one." Their consumption would be at the rate of about 20,000 gallons por week.—lt was agreed to' inform the applicants that the request could not bo complied with. . Water Charges to Schools.—The 'Chairman of the Auckland School Com mittee applied for a reduction in the charge for water supplied to the city schools. The regular rate to ordinary city consumers was Is Gd per 1000 gallons, but the schools were'charged 2s-per 1000 gallons. Tbe explanation given by tbo Town Clerk to account for the diU'ercnce was, that as the school buildings are exempt from ordinary rates, tho extra charge was levied to make up for the loss, but it appeared to (ho Com mittee an unfair procedure to endeavour by .such menus lo enforce the payment of tin equivalent for a rate from which the schools were exempt by law.—The Mayor said that he had directed the Town Clerk to inform Mr Gorrio that a committee, which was now sitting, would recom mend that (here should be no differ ence iv futuro in the charge, that it would be reduced to the ordinary price. The gentleman, however,, wished the matter brought before the Council, in order that a refund might be made of the overcharges already paid. It was agreed to inform Ihe writer that no action could be taken until the Waterworks Committee had presented its report.

Union-street.—Mr 11. Skeeu wrote, complaining of the state of Union-slreet, from the gully lo its junction with Bercs foid-Ktreet.—Referred to Works Committee.

IkcrbAse of TOLLAOE.—A letter was received from Mr George Wilson, city con tractor, calling attention to the fact that since tbe commencement of bis contract the tolls at the Mount Eden chain bar had been increased by Is I'd per day for each dray, mid thercfoie praying for a grant equal to the extra cost.—The City Surveyor reported that the statements regarding the increase of tolls were correct. — Referred to Finance Committee.

DIMINAGK OF RECLAMATION.— The following letter was received from Mr Geo. Holdsbtpou this subject :— Auckland, June 8, 1880. Ui.s Worship the Mayor and City Councillors : Centlemcn, —I have tbe honor again to bring under your notice the enor mous loss our Company are sustaining through the bad state of Custom Hotisc street~\Vest, caused mainly through want of drainage, which should have been done weeks ago. The constant heavy traffic on the narrow strip of road in front of onr mill (iv consequence of boingsurroiiudcd by water) has completely broken it up, and unless something bo done before tbo next heavy rains the storm water from tbe higher parts of the city will How into the cellar of onr mill nnd cau.'C serious loss and damage, fur which, iv justice to ourselves we must bold tbe Council responsible, ln addition to this, the road will in a few days be quite impassable. We cannot help thinking the Council, by the unnecessary delay in drain ing and repairing the road, is throwing great obstacles in the way ot (ratio and the convenience of the public.—l have, etc, G. HOLDSIIIP."—The City Surveyor re ported tbat " these works were commenced on Friday last, the day after the order was given. The main drains are being cleared, which is the first step to take, and the workmen are now employed opening drains along the reclamation to the mains, and metalling the road."—ln answer to ques tions the Surveyor said that the work could not bo further expedited by the em ployment of additional men, but tbat mote drays might be put on.— Councillor Thompson took exception to the language used by Mr Holdship in the latter part of tbe letter.—Councillor Waddel in concurring in this said that be felt no sur prise-at it when bo learnt that some men had the assurance to come to the Corpora tion-buildings and brow-beat the officers.— Councillor Crowthcr endorsed these views. He also thought that tho lessees of reclama tion allotments had put up their buildings too far forward to Ihe street Hue.—Other Councillors also condemned the tone of the letter, and the injustice' of tbe latter part of the remarks contained in it. —It. was agreed to reply to the effect that the Couucil is fully alive to the* neces sity of pushing on the work in Custom House-street W.est, that the Surveyor has instructions to get the work done as quickly as possible, and.that under, these circuni- Ptances the Council considers that the latter part of Mr Holdship's letter is un necessary and disrespectful. FoisMvriON cf UHION-STRSKT.—Coun cillor Fleming presented a petition from the residents of Union-street, praying that the thoroughfare might bo made with as little delay as possible,—lieferrcd to Works Committee.

(8.) That the fixed levels of Day-street be ascertained before laying water pipes. (9.) Tbat a foot-path, three feet wide, be constructed and as phalted in Scotia Place. (10.)

(5) Tbat with res pect to the Hospitals Bill, the Couucil are con tent with present arrangements, and ds not see any necessity for alteration.

Library Committee. —The appended report on the question of sites was read :— " Your committee Jia»e to report that they have considered the question of site for Library, City Council offices, aud Town Hall, The following sites have received their attention :—(1) The Queen-street en trance of the Market,with a view to Town Hall being erected over tbe Market; (2) Theatre buildings, corner of Victoria and Queen streets; (3) Corner of Shortland and Queen streets, prospectively ; (4) Junction of Queen and Grey streets ; (5) Victoria street East; (G) Junction of Coburg aud Wellesley streets ; (7) Police Court build ings.. The objects kept, iv view by the committee were : Sufficient prominence of position to insure a good cfl'ect for the building; a*space sufficiently large to con join all tbe purposes named, and to afford, now or in the future, a ball con siderably in excess of those at present existing; central situation, combined with moderate cost and freedom from noisp, . Your committee recommend the site at the corner of Coburg and Wellesley streets, as fulfilling the most of the above conditions."—The Mayor moved tbe adop tion of the report. In doing ,s'q lie stated the reasons which bad induced tbe Com mittee to reject the oilier six sites. Thus— the Market site was too low; the theatre buildings did not afford" the necessary ac commodation ; tho corner of Queen and Shortland-stieets, while too costly a site, was hardly of sullicieut area ; the junction of Queen and Grey-streets was also too costly ; the Victoria street East site would involve excavations, aud might also lead to compensation claims; and the Police Court building); did not afford the necessary space. The site at the corner of Coburg and Wel lesley streets, had been seleeled because it offered a considerable area (three-quarters of an acre) upon which too a Eire Brigade Station might be erected, and it was also Contraband healthy. These were the con siderations which bad weighed with tbo Committee in arriving at a decision,'and thoy had taken a great deal of trouble with tho matter.—Councillor Thompson seconded the motion, lit doing so he expressed his preference for the site at tho corner of Grey ami Queen streets, although of course the cost w;ts too great to justify them in pur chasing it. tie also.alluded to tho services which Mr Watson, had rendered the Com mittee.—Councillors Goltlie, Aickbi, Crow 6hcr,andOlTer,also expressed a preference for the site at the junction of Quceu aud Grey- Streets.—ln answer to the Inst named Coun cillor the .Mayor stated that the Army aud Navy Hotel wm held ova lease with a purchasing cl.turn for the hotel at £3,1)00. The site which bad been selected would co-;t only £1,300, aud perhaps might be Obtained for less.—Councillors Oiler :t:id (.Johii'. were desirous thai: the, report should bo deferred, the former gentleman thinking that a .matter of one or two thousand pounds should 'not bo allowed to stand in the way of possible city requirements —An amendment win moved to the* effect that the consideration of the report should be deferred. —On being put to the Council it Was carried.

Offices Committee.—Tho report of this Committee, adjourned for, consideration from last ordinary ineetinj:, was then rend —The Mayor moved that the various clauses should be considered seriatim He did this, he expltuued, because they were likely to lead to discussion. For instance, He. was himself prepared to suggest v course at Variance with one or two of the Committee's recommendation*. lie ihougiu that the uvoat thino; to be desired was elii'ti unity of administration, while they ought n,lsu to retain j use sullicieut officers to cany on the work harmoniously ami well. 'I bey fthould be economical without being parsi monious. At present the expense of mana ging the municipality of Auckland would compare very favorably indeed with tho expense gone to by connate bodies in the South. Thus while the cost of managing the Auckland municipality was £'2.295, that of Christchurch was £2,333, and that of \VeH"m»tou £3,891. He was aware that iv this latter ease tho ..Surveyor's Department was inclu ded, lie trusted that in considering I lie matter they would not fall into the imbecile posifion'.of imauiuin^ that all other bodies possessed virtues desirable for them to copy, and *t*hat they pn«nesscd only defect.*, lie thought that they were quite capable of designing a proper system for themselves,, without having to copy any other munici pality. Their officers were ellicient in many ways, their arrangements olTerofi a worthy model for other bodies to copy. The motion was seconded and carried, —Clause 1 was then read, viz:—That it is desirable to adopt the system of outdoor collection of tatcs" as boitit; more id conformity with the Acts bearing'on the same. The adoption of the clause having been moved. and seconded, the discussion was opened up.—Councillor Waddel feared that this innovation would load to the creation of a separate stall' of officials.—Councillor Coldie held that it was a system which could hardly be improved upon, and the be?t proof of this, to his mind, was that in Christchurch, where it was iv vogue, only. £5 19s'.arrears were left in 187S upon a rate of £10,000.— Tbe Mayor said that tbo inten tion was that the serving of tho rate notice should be regarded as a formal demand for payment,, arid that the collector should subsequently call upon those who remained in arrear—that, in short, ho* should do the dunning.—After some further discussion the clauafe-'was'-n^reei'. to. Clause (2). " That a collector should be appointed who shall be responsible for all rates collected outside and iuside the office, including the rate? and rents now. received' in the Waterworks Office, and in addition thereto shall fulfil the duties at present performed by the valuer, returning officer, and the distributor of all rate notices." —The Mayor considered that the valuer should be independent of the collector. Besides this, he was in doubt as to the expediency of abolishing the Waterworks office, seeing that the work in connection with it was growing so largely and be coming so important. lie would there fore move as au amendment: —" That the collector should be responsible for all rates iuside and outsiilo, including rates and rent's received iv the Waterworks Office, the alteration to be so made that the time whcii such rates are payable will fall within the slack lime in the collector's depart ment." —Councillor Goldie although think ing-that'the duties of collector and valuer should be discharged by different men, still deemed the work insufficient for two. offir cials. In Wellington .one collector was found sufficient for the collection of water rates amounting to £10,531, while iv Auck land these rates amounted only to £3,790. He would second the amendment.—Coun cillor.'Aickin was also of opinion that the valuer should be independent of the collec tor, and bo approved of the Mayor's sugges tion with regard to the Waterworks office.— Couucillor Thompson also supported th; Mayor's amendment. He was iv favour of the abolition of the Waterworks Depart ment, and he thought that the hope of pro motion should take the place now of yearly applications for increase of salary. lie was opposed to the creation of department-, and wished to see all those officers under the supervision of the Town Clerk.—The amendment.--was put and carried, and also a further motion to the eil'ect that the valuer should be retained at a salary of £100 a year. Clause (3) 'That the salary to be attached to the office be £300 par annum ; that security be taken through the Guarantee Society for £1,000 ; aud that the payments to the bank, under clause 117 of the Municipal Cotporations Act, be at least every second day."—Agreed to. — Clause (4) '' That the Waterworks office as a separate department be abolished, and one clerk be appointed in the collector's depart ment at a salary of £125 per annum ; his duties to consist in receiving all rate? paid into the office, and doing the general work of tbe department," The Mayor iv moving this Clause suggested the omission of lite words, " iv receiving all rates paid into the office aud doing the general work of the department," and the insertion instead of these—"in doing the general work of the department under tho collec tor." Upon the propositiou oi Councillor Goldie the clause was ' deferred uutil some of tho others should have been considered. Clause 5 : "That the salary of the Town Clerk remain as it is at present, That he receive instructions to check regu larly the transaction of the Treasurer, re ferred to in the first part of clause 6. That in accotdance with the previous resolution of the Council, he be made aware that he ia .to exercise supervision over all the officers

dealt with by this committee, and be res ponsible generally to the Couucil for theii ellicient and good conduct; aud that, ii order to give effect to this rule, these ofliceu be informed that the instructions of the Town Clerk must be carried out."— The Mayor was in favour of the Town Clerk's salary being increased by the amount for which be had applied, viz., £50 —making it therefore £450. Jie would therefore move an amendment to that effect.—Councillor Aicken seconded this proposition. He thought they were en titled to pay for brains. The Auckland Town Clerk was paid less than ihe same officers at Wellington and Christchuieh. The Town Clerk of Wellington re ceived a salary of £500, sat occa sionally upon the Magistrates' bench, ami was quite a swell. — Councillor Goltlie pointed out that by allowing the Town Clerk and the City Surveyor a half day's wage per week each in consideration of attendance at night meetings, the salaries of those officers had been increased already by £33 per annum. The Town Clerk of i Wellington deserved bis salary of £500, seeing that ho managed his Cor poration with three officials, while tho Auckland clerk had six officials under him.-Councillor Offer was also "opposed to the itisreasc. lie thought £400 quite sufficient for the brains placed at their disposal. The Town Clerk had made many mistakes lately, instances of which he could give. Councillor Thompson was also opposed to the iuerc-iso, but strongly deprecated the personal remarks which bad been made by Couucillor Offer, with regard to the Town Clork. Couucillor Waddel spoke in a similar strain, while Couu cillor Buchanan _ expressed himself iv favour of doing away with the half day's extra wage, and voting the £,50 applied for by the Town Clerk. Councillor Crowthcr remarked that the Town Clerk had told them before tbat bis duties were so onerous that he could under take no addition to them, but the evidence of tho clerks bad not borne out this state ment. If the officer had signilied a willing ness to accept other duties, the Committee might have seen its way to make such re ductions as would justify them in raising bis salary to £500. Tbe amendment was then put and lost, and tbe original motion carried. Clau.e 6. "That the salary of tho Treasurer remain as at present, but, in addition to the duties now performed by him, he receive directly the rents from the various properties of the Corporation now paid into the Collector's Department; and all moneys for permits or licenses now re ceived by the Town Clerk, also fees, rents, &c, iv tbo absence from tho oflice of the Inspector of Abattoirs ; that he check the Collector's transactions generally, and also give effect to clause 110 of the Municipal Corporation's Act at least every second day." —The Mayor moved the adoption of this clause The motion w.is secoued by Councillor Aickin and agreed to. Clause ■(7) "That the salary of the Inspector of Abattoirs remain as at present."—Agreed to. Clause (8) "That the salary of Ihe Inspector of Nuisances remain as at present, and that he also uudortake the duties of Inspector under the Dangerous Goods Act." Agreed to.—Clause (0) "That a clerk be appointed under the Town Clerk to perform general clerical work, at a salary of £150 per annum." Tho adoption of this clause was moved by the Mayor and seconded.— Councillor Offer thought the duties id the, clerk should be clearly defined.—Councillor Waddel honed that with the systematic arrangement of thd offices the spirit of oflicioitsness on tiie part of some Councillors would cca-e to manifest itself. They had entrusted the Town Clerk with the responsibility of managing aud supervising all the officcis under consideration, ami it was childish to talk of defining their duties.— It was seconded and carried. Clause (10) : "That the hours of attendance be from 0,30 a.m. to 5 p.m., an hour to be allowed for lunch."—After considerable discussion it Was determined to allow the olliee hours to remain as they are at present, viz., 9.30 to 4,30. with half-aii hour for lunch." Clause 4 then came up again for consideration.— Councillor Thompson moved as an amend ment upon it, and it w.*u seconded, " That a sccoml clerk tiniler the Town Clerk be ap pointed at a salary of £125 per annum to do general clerical work."—Tho motion was carried against the amendment. Clause (11): " That a half-day's payjper week be granted to the Town Clerk and City Sur veyor ou account of attendance at night meetings of the Couucil. — Councillor Offer pointed out tiiat thoy had endeavoured to effect a yearly saving of £2*o, and now they wero actually proposing to give £103 of it back again. .Sooner than put the rate payers to so mneli expense for their own personal convenience he would be in favour of a return lo the practice of day moetiugs.—Councillor Waddel wa.s glad to bear this statement, and he would be pre pared to give notice of motion fur the dis continuance of ni^ht meetings. (The Mayor: Hear, bear.) —Councillor Goltlie felt sure that a majority of the Council wa in favour of a return to the tlay meetings. The Mayor said that Councillor Waddel'-; suggested motion could be considered at once if the standing orders were suspended, but in ouler to do tins they would require to be unanimous.—Councillor Crowthcr however objected, and Councillor Waddel therefore said that he would content himself for the present with giving the necessary notice of motion. Tbe clause was then passed. Clau-tC 12. " The committee re commend that no alteration he made with the present system of emptying the cess pits,"—This clause was then carried, and the ' report accepted as amended. The mattet of leappoititing the officers was referred to the Sub-Finance Committee.

WaTURWOKKS.—Mr Erriogtou's oiler le the Waterworks was referred to the Water works Committee.

SyMOIiDS-STREitT. — The recommenda tion of the Surveyor to remove the trees from the pathway and plant them iv the road was agreed to. The dead aud dis eased trees are to be replaced with others.

Burgess ROLL.—Councillor Oiler in quired whether any steps had been taken t-> check the burses* roll.—Tho Mayor said that attention had becu given to the sub ject, and the eirors wonl.l be corrected. POLlCE.—Councillor Oiler inquired who had authority lo write to the police? Ild had heard of complaints with respect to the tone in which the police were addressed, — The Mayor said the matter would be in quired into. amendment Legislation. —The Mayor said he had telegraphed to the Government requesting tbat the suggested amendments ia the Municipal Corporations Act should be kept in mind. Meter.—Councillor Crowther moved, "That :t meter be applied to the pipes be tween the abattoirs aud the pumping sta tieu'at the Western Springs."—Councillor Waddel seconded the motioD, and it was carried.

Stkeet-CROSSINGS. — Couucillor Oiler moved, "That a crossing be made opposite the Anchor Hotel ; also across the road leading to the Market-house."—The matter was referred to the Surveyor, with instruc tions to report on what crossings were neces sary throughout the city. The ordinary accounts were theu passed, and the Council adjourned.
