Street Tramways.—The following letter upon this subject was read :—Auck land. November 10th, 18S0. P. A. Phillips, Esq., Town Clerk, Auckland. Sir,—With reference to the above matter, I beg to lay before the Oouucil the following, which may assist them in the discussion of this matter, and what I request from the Council:—l ask for a lease o£ the roads of the city of Auckland for a term of 21 years, for the purpose of constructing and working tram ways or street railroads from and to the city and the suburbs thereof—aud the same right will be asked from the several other Councils and local Boards for the purpose of extending into those several districts the system of communication aforesaid. That no travelling, steam, or other motor ■will be used ' along the atreets of the city. With rc3pect. to the fares to be charged, these will be placed as low as possible, according to circumstances ; but I can here say that I shall be prepared to enter into an arrangement or undertaking that the cash faro shall at no time exceed the rate of threepence per mile. I shall be glad if the Board or Committee will proceed to the discussion of this matter during my absence.—l am, etc., H. H. W. MUTH."—Cr. Waddel explained that Mr Smith had called upon him on the previous day for the purpose of ascertaining what the Council had done while he was away. (H<s (the Bpeaker) informed him that the matter had been held over pending his return. Mr Smith mentioned that he had to go South yesterday and then made a communication substantially the same as that con tained in the letter. He (Cr. Waddel) recommended him to put it into writing and he had done so. Something else wa3 said about the Council meeting the subur ban boards with a view of finding out what assistance they would be prepared to give. —Cr. Montague asked if Mr Smith had himself interviewed any of the highway boards upon the matter ?—Cr. Waddell did not think he had. The only board to which Mr Smith had made pointed refer ence was the one of which Cr. Thompson was the chairman. He did not think how ever, that any arrangement had been made. Cr. Thompson stated that hewas unaware of any arrangement having been en tered into. —Cr. Montague said that he had seen Mr Smith on the pre vious evening, and that the gentleman then told him that he had interviewed Mr Evans (Chairman of the Ponsonby Board),who had informed him thatthere was hot the slightest doubt that his Board would acquiesce in the agreement which he (Mr Bmith) intended to make with the city. Mr Smith had also remarked that the Ponsonby line would be the first which he would lay down.- Coun cillor Offer thought that it should be under stood that they were not going to deal exclusively with Mr Smith. The construc tion of tramways should be open to compe tition. They had only affirmed the desira bility ot providing the city with a tram- Way system, and. had not decided upon giving a monopoly to anyone. The matter should, in his opinion, be referred to the Works Committee without any reference to Mr Smith, for there were other parties as well as that gentleman will in" he believed, to gointo such a scheme. — Councillor Waddel remarked that no other one had the right of constructing tramways upon Smith's principle.—Councillor Offer retorted that there were tramways con structed upon other principles.—Cr. Waddel said that that might be, but that accord ing to Mr Smith's representations there was nothing equal to his system. It was noise less, smokeless, etc.—Councillor Goldie considered it advisable to secure all possible information on the subject from the South and elsewhere beforearnving atany decision. He knew that some difficulties had been encountered in connection with it at Wellington, and as that was j bo it would be batter for them not to commit themselves to anything which they might afterwards have cause to regret. He did not like the idea of making a test of the thing. It should be done per manently or not at all. They should have a guarantee that at any rate the tramway would be run for a certain number of years •whether it paid or not; otherwise there was no use in driving off the stage carriages. —Councillor Thompson said that he could quite understand the willingness of the Ponsonby Board to fall in with any arr&nse- j ments which Mr Smith might make with i the city, seeing that that district would have'the benefit of the first line laid down. He was not aware, however, that any other Highway Board had been consulted.—Councillor Montague observed that Mr Smith intended to leavo by the outgoing mail for San Fran cisco, where his principals resided. The gentleman had told him that if a contract were arranged -with him he would telegraph to England for the necessary material, and be prepared to proceed with the work in four months' time.—The matter was then referred to the Works Committee, all possi ble information on the subject to be pro cured in the meantime. Cad Fares.—Councillor Offer presented a petition from the cab-drivers of Auckland, submitting a table of cab fares, which they thought easily understood and reasonable, viz • One-horse cab, 2s the first quarter of an hour, and Is for every subsequent quarter of an hour ; fare and a half from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m., time to count from stand back to stand whence engaged. Two-horse cabs 2s 6d the first quarter of an hour, and la dd for every subsequent quarter of an hour; fare and'a-half from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m., time to count from stand, back to stand whence engaged ; cabs to be compelled to drive inside the ten mile radius by time six miles per hour ; the public to have the option of making special agreements. The petition went on to say that the new by laws would not allow the cabmen to clear more than their bare expenses, and that, from their extent and complicated nature they were unworkable.The petitioners gave seriatim their opinion of the various by

lawa.—The petition was referred to the Works Committee.

A Nuisance.—A petition was received from the residents of Graham and Hardinge streets, complaining of the stench utisiug from tho lime-kiln, and the Oil Co.'s pre mises. — Keferred to the Works Com mittee.

Works Committee,—The report ot this Committee recommended :—(1). That the Council contribute half the cost of constructing a road to Mr Ashtou's pro perty in Wynyard-streot, the coat not to ex ceed £30. (2). That pending the settlement with the Harbour Board re reclamation roads, tho committee cannot recommend that Gleeson's application for drainage be acceded to. (3). That permission be granted to Wilson and Co. to lay trial pavements and ctossiugs. (4). That tho llobson-street sewerage be done as soon as funds are available. (0). That Mr C. Williamson's application for the removal ot a bank of earth bo acceded to, the same to bo done by tender as soon as Mr Can's assent has been obtained without any claims for compensation.—Tho report was adopted. Finance committee. —The report of this Committee recommended:—(l) The acceptance of Mr White's tender for the erection of public baths, £887, Mr Maguire's tender to be retained in the meanwhile in case Mr White should refuse to sijju the contract; (2) That tho services of the assi< tant clerk be dispensed with at committee meetings, aud for ordinary meetings he be paid la (id per hour up to tho end of the year ; (3) That Mrs Lowe's rates for tho present year bo remitted ; (4) That a wall about threo feet high be erected between the road and the Western SpriDga mill, tho Inspector of Abattoirs being authorised to carry out the work.—Tho report was adopted. ACCOUNTS.—The accounts as audited by the Sub-Finance Committee were passed for payment. LOW AND MOTION'S MILL.—As Messrs Garrett and Stimpson had sent no reply re the removal of stones from tho Western Springs Mill, which they were requested to return, it was agreed to refer the matter to the Council's solicitor. Gas Contract.—Tho Secretary of the Gas Company wrote ottering to reduce tho cost of keeping tho gas lamps alit to 10s and 17s per annum respectively for the two classes, provided ttio contract were renewed for throe years.—deferred to Works Com mittee.

Legal Proceedings. — It. was resolved to institute lesral proceedings for the re covery of the amount duo by tho Ponsonby, Newton, and Karangahapo Highway Boards in respect of tho repair oi boundary roads.

A Special Water Committed— The Mayor, and Councillors Oiler and Montague were appointed .1 Sub-Com mittee to deal with applications for extraor dinary water supply. Dog Kkgistration.—The Town Clerk drew tho Council's attention to the desira bility of making some arrangements for the issue of dog collars, collection of registra tion fees, &c. Under the new Act the duty devolved upon the Council at the commence ment of the next year, aud the fees became Corporation revenue. Last year tho net profit from this source had been £113, but it would be much more in future, seeing that the fees had been doubled in price. The fee had been ss, but henceforth it would be 10s. Specimens of collars which could be made for 7d and lOd each respectively were then handed round the Council table. A letter from Superintendent Thomson upon the same subject having been read, the whole question was relegated to the Finance Committe.

The Inspector and the Slaugiiter jian. Councillor Waddel pointed out that the Inspector of Abbattoirs (Mr Woolfield) had complained that iv cousequeuce of the threats of a slaughterman named Murray he went in tear of his lifo. Mr Woollield had asked him whether he should seek the protection of the Court, but ho had advised him to await the action of the Council. The officer had told him that ho felt very uncomfortable in approach ing tho houses while Murray was killing. At present Moylao, the assistant, was doing the inspecting, but as Mr Woolfield himself saw the beasts before being killed, no evil consequences would ensue.—Coun cillor Thompson did not believe in the principle involved in the neglect of inspec tion simply because a slaughterman had made use of threats. If that were to bo the course pursued slaughtermen had only to kick up a row with the Inspector in order to evade his visits. Hg understood that Mr Woolfield had provided himselt with a aix-shooter in case of accident.— Several other Crs. expressed Bimilar opinions.—lt was determined to hold a special meeting at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning for the investigation ot the Inspec tor's charges. Stone Breaking..—lt was resolved to keep on for a month longer the SO men who are at present engaged in stone breaking. . Reception of the Governor.—Coun cillor Waddel submitted a telegram stating that the Governor would probably arrive on the 19th, but on the 20th at the latest.— After some discussion it was resolved to have an arch and platform erected at tho foot of Queen-street; that an address should be presented to his Excellency, and carriages provided for, tho vice • regal party, and that the Volunteers, Police, Friendly Societies, Fire Brigade, and the citizens generally should be invited to co-operate in making the demonstration a success. The Town Clerk and Councillors Goldie, Oiler, Waddel, and Hemus, were appointed to prepare the address aud carry out the resolution.

Tenders. —The following tenders were received for kerbiog and channelling Custom House-street Ea?t:-H. Smith, £146 19s 6d; James Davidson, £138 19s ; Elias Andrews, £132 10a. Mr Andrews' tender was accepted. . The engineer's esti mate was £145.—F0r'lampheads :—Bran stonand Foster, £37 10s for 25 copper lamp heads. The gross amount being £2 10s under the estimate it was agreed to accept the tender. ' '" " For kerbing and chanelhng City Road: — John Walsh, £320 ; A. Maguire, |£305 8s; Kirby and Co., £183 15s ; Jas. Attwood and Win. Hauke, £323; Alex. Woolley, £413; John Heath, £298. The engineer's estimate was £380. The engineer having been called in gave it as his opinion that the contract could not be dote for £180. His own eati mate he deemed a moderate one.—Heath's tender was accepted. martin's -Complaint.—Mr W. H. Martin's complaint having been fully con sidered, snd the whole correspondence there anent read it was resolved on the motion of Cr. Thompson " That a reply be forwarded to Mr Martin, to the effect that the Council are of opinion that the Inspector of Abat toirs has not exceeded his duty in drawing the attention of the Council to the manner in which the gorse, etc., was being removed from the paddock, and that the instructions forwarded re same be adhered to." Cab By-IA'WS.— The consideration of these was postponed till next meeting. PatTESON-STREET. —As there were no objections to the advertised levels of this street, they were adopted.

Testimonial to Mr A. A. Fantham.

To-day Mr A. A. Fantham, of Gwynneland, Cambridge, wus honoured by the gift of a public testimonial from eleven hundred and twenty-two farmers and others, in recogni tion of the linn stand he made in suppressing pleuro-pncumonia, he being the first to advocate tho adoption of precautionary measures, even before the disease really showed itself. The lirat thing to rouse his attention was tlio reading of reports in the " Town and Country Journal " and other Australian papers which showed the serious aspect of pleuro-pncumonia in Australian districts, and knowing that largo numbers of cattle were being brought over with | out due quarantine regulation, he felt that unless proper care was taken tho desease would be introduced into this country. The lirst notice he gave was at tho time Messrs. Grant and Foster attended the Cambridge Fanners Club meeting—He gave notice that he would read an essay on plcuro at the next Club meeting, January !!(>'. In the essay ho shewed that England had liecn losing two million pounds worth of stock per year for several years by the desease. Mr Fanthani shewed what an enormous amount of loss Australia had, and was now sustaining through the same deaease, and as pleuro was known to have boon introduced into Australia by one beast imported from England through lack of proper inspection and quarantining, he thought we should profit by tho lesson, and as New Zealand was freo from disease, proper precautions should be takoti to pro vent it being iutroduced into the country. It was n remarked thing that the disease actually appeared through certain ship ments within one month from tho time ho laid his proposals beforo the Club.—Mr Fantham's encrgotic and intelligent advo cacy, and his great experience as a breeder led to his being elected a member of the South Auckland Cattle Board, tho other members having been nominated.— Mr B. Maclean met tho Farmer's Club, and said the Board would consist of three--tho Go vernment recommending feivory Maclean (to he transferred from the Auckland Board) and Mr Charles Storey, at tlio meeting then held, Mr E. Maclean said that if Cambridge was to havo only one member be would pre fer to withdraw, as he thought Mr Fautlntja was justly entitled to bo that member from tho action he hud taken. It was then carried unanimously that Messrs E.Maclean, Charles Storey, and A. A. Fantham be re commended to Government. Tho subse quent action of tho Board is known, and though in the carrying out of certain measures mistakes were made, still on the whole the Board is credited with having succeeded in preventing tho spread of tho dreadful cattlo disease. Tho firm staml taken by Mr Fantham was consistent throughout with the sugges tion made before taking his seat as a mem ber, and to-day's voluntary expression of public opinion in the shape of tho "shilling testimonial" from over a thousand people shows the general respect and appreciation to bo very great. Tho presentation took place in tho spa cious show-room of Mr Hoil'mau, Queen-st., at half-past 2 o'clock this afternoon. Amongst those present were noticed Messrs Hunter (Hunter and Nolan), Lewis, Inspec tors of cattie, Harris, Udy, F. Lnury, Kobertsou, Willcocka, Hobbs, and David son.

Mr Udy proposed aud Mr Hunter seconded that Mr Laury make the presentation, which was agreed to|uem con, Mr Lawry said, "1 may observe that this address was adopted principally by myself, and was unanimously adopted at a meeting of the committee held at the British Hotel. I will now read the address."

To A. A. Fantham, Esq., Gwynncland,

Cambridgo, Waikato,

Dear Sir,—At a meeting held in the British Hotel, Queen-street, Auckland, on the 13th day of May, 18S0, which was at tended by about thirty gentlemen, who represented most of the pastoral districts around Auckland, it was unanimously rc aolved to present you with some testimonial as a slight recognition of the honourable course of action which you had pursued in your capacity as a member of the South Auckland Cattle Board, and in appreciation of what you had accomplished against obstacles which most men with equal honesty of purpose would have considered insurmountable aud hopeless to contend against. It was unanimously determined to make this testimonial assume something like an expression of public opinion 'dative to your actions, and with this object in view, it was resolved to limit the subscription to the sum of one shilling from each subscriber. Tho following gentlemen (all of whom are interested in practical pastoral pursuits) wcro elf cted as a committee, with power to act, and with full power to carry out tho wishes of the meeting, viz. :—Messrs J. Bainbridge, Jas. Robertson, jnnr., C. Rhodes, F. It. Claude, W. Porch, A. Harris, K. Udy, A. Hastie, J. K. Walters, Thomas Allen, and F. Lawry. The Committee deem it very desirable and necessary to go into these details here bo cause no item ot correspondence or verbal communication, as far as they are aware, relating in the remotest degree to this matter, has ever been exchanged with you, either when it was projected or since it has been carried into practical effect ; and you are, therefore, entitled to know now how it originated, and also how it has been accom plished. The Committee regret on the one hand, aud rejoice on the other, that the public did not respond to the call upon them in such numbers as was at one time anticipated and expected. They regret this because they feel that the matter has not been fairly represented in one-twentieth part of the districts interested in the raising of cattle in this Provincial District, inas much as a circular and subscription list were sent to the chairmen of one hundred and thirty Highway District Boards, with a request that they would assiafin bringing the object to a successful issue, but only sixteen have takon action or replied ac knowledging receipt of them. The result of subsequent enquiry satisfies your Com mittee that the majority of the people of those districts had no opportunity of sub scribing, as they never saw a subscription list, whilst letters have been lately received offering to guarantee five hundred sub scribers, and if desired to send cheque for tho amount in advance. The Committee, however, on the other hand, rejoice exceed iugly in the fact that some Providential interposition has arrested the progress of the ; direful disease—known as pleuro-pueuraonia —or ut least has kept it confined to certain localities j and though they feel that the dissemination of the disease—spreading ruin, desolation, destruction, and death amongst cattle in every quarter—would have boen the direct means of inducing many thousands of cattle-owners to send unsolicited subscriptions—not only from a sense of gratitude to you for having warned them of impending danger, but also as a manifestation of indignation to wards those authorities whose conduct the Committee feels to merit the most unquali fied censure in any case, and as they appre hend that you would feel pained beyond ex pression at receiving—no matter how valu able a presentation, and no matter how wide its representative nature may be—at such a sacrifice. The Committee, nevertheless, rejoice at its comparative insignificance, although, at tha same time, they cannot help expressing their conviction that, taking into consideration the opposition which it has obtained at every stage from those high in authority, it is, however, a most gratifi ing success. The subscriptioa closed with eleven hundred and twenty subscribers, making a total of fifty-six pounds (£56), with which sum a piano has been purchased which instrument the Committee hope you will be.pleased to accept. It was understood to be rather a singular presenta tion, but though you were personally un known to most of the Committee they knew by repute, that to present you with the proverbial piece of plate would be to give you something of which you already possessed, a sort of counterpart, and in this presentation they desired to combine utility with something ornamental—some thing useful with something not altogether devoid of beauty. The Committee have the greater pleasure in presenting this testi monial to you, because they feel that you expected no reward, except snch as in variably follows the performance of duty, either private or official; and they further feel that though you had some painfnl and uncongenial duties to perform, that they were felt to be so incumbent upon you as not to be set aside except at the sacrifice of self-respect. They are also fully aware that testimonials as a rule detract from the real satisfaction which an honourable man ieels, resulting from the performance of his duties and obligations ; but it is neverthe less felt that your actions as a member of the South Auckland Cattlo Board were of so exceptional a nature as to scarcely render the rule applicable to your particular case. The Committee deprecate the idea that this testimonial and presentation are the re ward of merit, but they declare it to be the manifestation of thanks, appreciation, and gratitude, emanating from eleven hundred and twenty of your fellow-settlers for your action in the endeavour to suppress pleuro pneumonia. And they conclude by expres sing the hope that you will live long to liston to the tones of the instrument form ing the substantial part of this presentation, and that its music will tend to enhance the satisfaction that you will always feel from • having acted in accordance with a sense of

duty. It is now ouly necessary for me to call upon Mr C. T. Wren to present this piano. Mr Wren : It affords me much pleasure to perform the duty of formerly handing over this small recognition of the services you have rendered, and I sincerely trust you will ba long spared to enjoy its capabilities. Mr Fanthani, who was overcome with emotion said:

"Mr Chairman and gentlemen,—l have a task before me which it is utterly impos sible to properly accomplish, and beg to most sincerely thank you for tliovr'i-y hand some present you have thought lit to make me. I have simply done my duty to the best of my ability, and am sure my poor endeavours have not merited such a return. I have long felt the importance of protective measures being takon against the introduc tion of pleuro, or any other contagious or infectious disease into this country, and, on tho 2Gth January last, read an essay before the Cambridge Farmers' Club on the subject, and suc ceeded in. currying several resolutions, suggesting steps that in my opinion ought to bo taken, with reference to the examina tion and quarantining of imported stock. Such examinations should always be uuder tuken by a properly qualified veterinary Riirgeon. Th«se resolutions were for warded for the information of the Govern ment, and little did I think i.t that time my fours would so soon bo verified, for by tho latter end of February pleuro had actually .appeared in our midst, and on the sth March, nt a special meeting of tho Farmer's Club, Mr Ucnjamin Maclean was instructed by tho Government to proceed to Cambridge, and confer with the members re the appointment of tho South Auckland Cattle hoard. Gentlemen, I hud tho honor to be chosen ns one member of the Hoard, and being a stranger in tho country, I considered tho apppointmcnt a very grout honor. And since then raj doingH in connection therewith have been before tho public. So many gentlemen, by subscribing towards this testimonial, shown me my public condust moots witli tho approval of a largo portion of tho community. I need not say 1 urn proud to havo my con duct so approved, and am also very thank ful your expressions of good will havo taken uo substantial and useful a form. Am! Ido assure you the handsome instrument shall bo hauded down to my family with pride, and I hopo it will induce them to do thoir duty fearlessly in any public capacity they may bo culled upon to fulfil. The country is much indebted to the editor of the '•WaiUato Times" for the very truthful reports of meetings of the South Auckland Cuttle Board that havo appeared in that journal, and the fearless stand that paper made during the timo the pleuro panic was obtaining. Tho importance of Cattle U oat 11 h can not he too highly cs timateu. In my opinion they only rank second to the Board of Health, which Board is appointed to prevent the spread of contagious disease amongst mankind, while tho functions of tho Cattle Boards are to perform a similar duty for stock, aud taking into considera tion the importance of healthy meat uud milk, I am surooveryone will say it should come from stock that is not diseased. It has been proved beyond a doubt that milk given to children from cows suffering from tubucular diseases has caused con sumption. It has often been proved in young animals that have been fed on milk from such stock, that they have died from consumption. I may add in. conclusion, I have exhibited successfully for eighteen yoars, aud was never so well prepared for a Show as I am at the present time.:' Yet through fear of getting my cattle diseased, I am not able to bring them before tho public, which I consider a great loss to me as a breeder, and it is to my own benefit to gefc^he restrictions taken oft' cattle as soon as pos sible, and to have the Auckland province proclaimed free from disease, but I shall not consent to this until suro that nil danger is past. Again, gentlemen, accept my heartfelt thanks, and if it pleases the Almighty to spare me, I trust my future actions in connection with tho Board will also meet with your approval. Mr Allen in a complimentary speech proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Lawry, the secretary, who in responding referred to tho groat assistance rendered by tho treasurer, Mr Udy.

Mr Lawry moved, and Mr Davidson seconded, a voto of thanks to Mr Hoffman for his kindness in allowing the use of the room for the presentation, This was passed and the meeting separated. Tho piano, which is a very line instru ment, bore the following inscription on a silver plato in front:—"Presented to A. A. Fantham, Esq., in recognition of his services as a. member of South Auckland tjnttlo Board in tho suppression of pleuro puenmouin, purchased by sub scriptions limited to one shilling."

" A—h !', said Peter, with glistening eyes, "then let's finish up the pudding to-night. A Bridgeport cat was in a cellar one day, and, seeing a crab, went up to examine it. A moment later the cat was helping the crab up stairs at tho rate of a mile a minute. To a crab such a rate ot speed must havo appeared extremely unique.

" I had, you saoy girl," said the mother, "a nicer mother than ever you had.'
