THE ROAD WORKS IN AUCK LAND.

(BY TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

PROPOSALS IN THE PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT.

( WELLINGTON, Tnesday night. LONG parliamentary schedules of the pro posed road works referred to in the public works statement are attached to the printed statement, which sets forth:—"Northern peninsula of Auckland : (1) The legislature in itu last and previous session took into its .special cousideration the condition of the peninsula North of Auckland as having re ceived little advantage from the expendi. ture of public works funds, and as being unlikely for many years to enjoy railway communication. The greater part of the vote granted has been expended or con tracted for, but renewed authority is wanted for £22,877 4s Id, most of which is for the enpenditure of the last quarter, April—Jane, and the liabilities on the 30th > Jane. (2) Kaihu to Kaikohe—bridle track. A further expenditure is proposed within the peninsula for a bridle road to connect the basin of the Wairoa (Kaipara) with Hokianga and the Bay of Islands — length about 25 miles, opening 100,000 acres of same—what rugged but fairly fertile lands of the Crown. (3) Mongonui Home stead blocks in the same district are pro posed short roads to four blocks in parts occupied on the Auckland Homestead system—opening 8,000 acres. It is proposed that the County of Mongonui should share the work with the colony. (4) Pakiri block to connect Crown lands with a road con structed by the County of Rodney. (5) Wairau Issandy Bay—cross-road opening ■up Homestead block. (6) Wairau to Helena Bay—cross-roads opening up Home stead blocks. (7) Whangarei—through 122 Tateko block to open up Crown lands at present inaccessible. (8) Purua—B,ooo acres surveyed. Bridge required over Wairau to connect block with district roads. (9) Tangatua—blocks to open in connection with district roads. (10) Ealhu to Man gaum Bluff opens about 8,000 acres of good land, and is the outlet of a large district. (11) Takatua to Mongonui—principally liabilities in respect of work done. (12) Tukatua to Herd's Point—principally lia bilities in respect of work done. (13) Okaihau to Victoria Valley will open out a large extent of Crown lands in the centre of Hokianga County. (14) Bridge over Kaipara near Helens ville—a block of 4,000 acres of Crown lands on the opposite side of the Kaipara river to Helensville, and close to the town ship, is for the moment inaccessible, and cut off from occupation by the tidal river. The land is rich, partly swampy, and when the bridge is determined on will sell at good prices. It is estimated that the value will be raised by 20s to 30s per acre by the con struction of this bridge South of Auckland. (16) Waikato to block XVL, Awaroa, will open 2000 acres of land suitable for settle ment. 16. Waikato to block VII., Awaroa, will open 20,000 acres of land suitable for settlement. (17) Hikutau to Ohinemuri, by Komata (Thames): This is the completion of the main road line from Thames to Ohinemuri. Its construction has hitherto been opposed by Tukukino. (18) Tauranga to Te Puke and Pukeroa, to open out Crown lands recently acquired. (19) Opotiki—a vote of £480 has already been twice taken for this road, but not expended, It is intended for opening the purchase of blocks in land in Opotiki. (20) Opotiki to Ormond : This road has been begun at' both ends, by the Public Works and Crown Lands Depart ments. The country to be crossed, is rugged, and contains 121,000 acres of Crown Lands. A small block of 2,700 acres is already under survey, this is the only land along this line in the hands of the colony suitable for small holdings. The rest is principally forest and rough pasture. The value of road, politically speaking, cannot be over-estimated, connecting as the track does already, though imperfectly, the Bay of Plenty, with Poverty Bay — crossing the Uriwera country, which, dur ing every native disturbance, has furnished sympathisers with the malcontents and a harbour for them. (21.) Te Aroha drainage —to complete works already entered era! (22.) Piako-Taupo,Cambridge to Taupo —part ot main road which must one day connect Hawke's Bay with Waikato and Auckland, passing through the basin of the Upper Waikato. Its construction will fur nisn the opportunity of making at little cost preliminary surveys for the Northern trunk line of railway. Napier to Cambridge — £ IjOOO is asked for the year. The length is about seventy miles. (23) From Cambridge to Touranga, passing close to the famed Patetere block—this road is intended to give access from Tauranga to the Waikato railway. (24) Cambridge to Rotorua—a bridle road already exists on this line, which it is proposed to im prove and.render passable for vehicles, It will bring the Hot Springs country into connection with the Waikato railway. The length is about 55 miles, of which thirty one-aud-a-half miles are either finished or in construction. 25. Tauranga to Opotiki and East Cape by the coast, an important road in a political sense, uniting the coast settlements and the principal places of native tribes, the most important groups of whom have been actively loyal. It is now used as a bridle track, though an inperfect one, and the vote asked will improve it Where necessary throughout, and make it in some parts fit for dray traffic. The County I Council of Whakatane has co-operated, I forming the road within its limits, and will be asked to continue its operation. (26) Whakatane to Te Teko, part of the road from the Bay of Plenty to Taupo, by the Bangitaheke Valley, crossing a large swamp, part of which requires fascining to lender the line passable for drays. The total length is thirteen and a half miles, (27) Matata Te Teko, a branch of the main road last mentioned, crossing the Tarawera river at Otikarato the township of Richmond already open as a bridle road, needs Home considerable expenditure to make it avail able for drays. (28) Te Teko to Galatea : A section, thirty-three miles long, of the road hy the Rangitake Valley to Taupo formed imperfectly by the A. C., and bridged last year. It requires additional work to fully utilise the past expenditure, and make it a dray road. Galatea is a first-rate strategical point on the edge of the Rainga roa Plain, Taupo, and commanding the track from Wairoa (Hawkes Bay) Waikari Lake and Ahikereru, in the Uriwera country, to Taupo, as well as the settle ment in the Bay of Plenty. (29) Huihuitahi to Patetere to provide access to Crpwn lands recently acquired and now being snrveyed for settlements. (30) Ruakaturi to open 40,000 acres Crown lands, situate 25 miles North of Wairoa, Bawke'a Bay, East Coast. (31) Ormond to Warapu on the East Coast, It is proposed to connect Warapu near East Cape, the chief seat of the friendly Ngatlporori, with Poverty Bay. This would open about one hundred thousand acres of Crown land, the best lands, and some very good now held by natives. The country is rugged, but a good grade is everywhere obtainable. The distance is about ninety miles. The road lias a considerable political value, but the country is not likely to be early settled. (32) Gisbprneto Waimate block. The block to be opened by this road contains 21,000 acres. It is proposed at once to survey ten thou sand acres, including a village site. The level land in lots of 50 to 100 acres, the hills in lots of 5000 to 1,000 acres. The length of the road will be about eighteen miles. (33) Gisborne to Wairoa : This line, which should be'opened, if for political reasons alone, would ■ render available about 90,000 acreß of Crown lands. Its length would be about fifty-five miles. It crosses little or no land inviting for small got tier, but there is much that would probably sell in 500 to 1,000 acre blocks. The Waihau block, 13,800 acres, about half way between the extremities, should be opened first) which contains good timber, and a site, or sites, for mills, A vote has already been taken- for the work, but as Cook County, and Wairoa County having failed to contribute, it was not expended.

WAITEMATA COUNTY COUN CIL.

The monthly meeting of the Waitemata County Council was held this morning. Mr Percy Smith wrote drawing attention to the dangerous condition of the bridge over the Kauhori stream.—Mr Allwright •was authorised to have the bridge repaired if it i« found to be within the Waitemata Council; the cost not to exceed £15. A letter from the manager of the Colonial Bank stated that the Counci's re quest for an overdraft of £200 for the next three months would be granted. A petition was received from a number of residents in the Lake district, complaining of the nuisance caused by cattle roaming at large.-It was agreed that the matter was one which should be dealt with by the Highway Board. . . ■ Mr Thomas Cater wrote complaining of the want of means of communication from Dowden's pottery to the centre of the dis trict, where the church and school are situated. . ■ , , Cr. Lamb moved, "That the road from Bruce's Point to the Waiteraata Pot tery, lately surveyed by the Government, be taken over under the Public Works Act.—The motion was carried, ! ' •■• Mr Lamb also moved "That the road lately surveyed by the County Council

through Stewart's Fiat, be taken under the Public Works Act."—After some discussion the proposition was withdrawn in favour of the following, which was then put and unanimously passed, " That this Council petition the General Government to provide sufficient funds for completing the road from Kaukapakapa to the railway terminus at Helensville, it being one of the main roads in the North, and the Council not having any funds to complete the same." It was further resolved, on the motion of Cr. Lamb, seconded by Cr. Sinclair, "That the Government be requested to survey the road over the Makarau bridge." The Chairman moved, " That the £35 due to the Manukau riding be expended on Kirikiri Point." He said that Guthrie and Larnach were prepared to spare £150 on the same work.

It was decided not to allow John Berry's valuation claim.

A farther sum of £10, to be deducted from the £100 grant, was allocated for ox. penditure upon Euston's road. This was all the business.

NAUTICAL COURT—Yesterday.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M., Cap. tain Pennell and Captain Frater, Nau>

tical Assessors.)

The Tainui and Christina Enquiry, —The enquiry into the recent collision bet ween the steamer Tainui and schooner Christine, was opened this morning. Mr Hudson Williamson, Crown Prosecutor, conducted the case for the Customs, Mr J. B. Russell appeared for Capt. Smith, Mr A, B. Whitaker Captain Evinson of the Christina,—Mr si, Hesketh appeared to watch the proceedings for the North Shore Ferry Company.—The evidence of Captain Smith having been taken, Captain Rattray, of the North Shore,was called, and deposed that he was a passenger on boaid the Tainui at the time of the collision. His opinion was that the Christina should have luffed more, as her sails were full.—John Landers, mate of the steamer Tainui, deposed that he steered the vessel part of the course from the North Shore. He gave a similar account to that of Captain Smith, contending that there was plenty of time when Smith signalled the schooner for them to have luffed up and prevented the collision, The captain of the schooner was sterring at the time, and she was going at the rate of 7 to 8 knots. He was of opinion that Captain Smith acted judiciously, and did all in his power to avoid a collision. —Henry James Ellis, ac countant, deposed that he possessed con siderable knowledge of shipping, having been at sea, and being for many years shipping reporter, and also took an 'active part in regattas, as secretary, &c. He was a passenger on board the Tainui when the collision occurred. The schooner altered her course, and came off the wind, and came much in the course of the steamer, closing towards her. The wind was steady, and did not necessitate this. It was a breeze which suited her working down wards. When he first thought a collision possible, the vessels were about 600 yards apart, and he noticed the captain, making signs to the schooner. He did not think the steamer could have avoided the collision. It was purely in the hands of the schooner to do so. He was clearly of opinion that all on board the steamer did their best to prevent a col lision.—William Graham, engineer on the steamer, corroborated the captain's evidence in most particulars, and was subjected to a cross-examination by counsel.—John Eyin -Bon, master of the schooner Christina, deposed that lately he had been trading between Auckland and the Bay of Tslands. They discharged coal at Queen-street wharf in the forenoon of the Ist of June, and started in the afternoon. The wind was aibout east. He steered full-and-by across the harbour, to beat out. When on the port tack, he saw the Tainui coming up the harbour. He did not alter his course coming across the harbour. At first the wind allowed them to lay higher than when the collision took place; he ad mitted that he was close-hauled all the time. When the steamer came up, she was on his port side, coming right up the harbour, and he was standing across. Had no doubt, if the vessels had kept in thsir courses, the steamer would have gone astern of him. When he saw the collosion inevitable, he could not luff for the steamer was on-his weather-bow. The vessels were going parallel courses, and if he had at tempted to stoy his vessel, he might have to run into the steamer. The steamer had no chance to cross his bow. He expected him to luff up, and go round the schooner's stem. He said, though he knew this was contrary to evidence already given,that this was true, and the other' not in accordance with the facts,—By Mr Whitaker : It was impossible for him to have fetched the place off Calliope Point, pointed out by Captain Smith in the then state of wind and tide. It would be five points out of the wind. His vessel was about the worst sailor ou'o of Auckland, and he could not take her nearer than seven points to the wind to do any good with her. lie could not have fetched the point markad by Messrs Ellis and Landers. If he had kept his course, and the steamer kept her course, it would bo im possible for the collision to have occurred, but when he saw him starboard the steamer's helm,ami domeingin the same course as the schooner, he saw there would be a collision. Witness could not go about, for he had the steamer on his weather bow, and the Railway Wharf on his lee; he had no room to wear. He tried to laff to take as much way as possible off the schooner to make the collision as light as possible. He was quite positive that when on the port tack he never loosed his sheet. Captain Evinaon further stated, that he did all in his power to prevent a collision; never had a quarrel with Captain Smith ; had known him 12 or 14 years, and they were always good friends. He had no quarrel with the owners of the Tainui, and he had no wish to run down or injure the vessel, nor did he try. The Court was then adjourned untill 10.30 to-morrow (Wednesday), morning.

THIS DAY.

The Court was resumed thia morning, and the following evidence taken :— : Jacob Smith, mate of the Christina, was the n>at witneas examined. He was work ing the jib sheets at the time of the col lision, and consequently was m the fore part of the vessel. When they came near the railway wharf, the steamer, which had appeared to be going round the schooner's stern, made as if she was going to cross their bow. He" called but to the captain of the steamer to "Look-out." He also called to his own captain, "Look-out; luff her up as much as you can." This was just when he thought they would not clear them. . : The captain luned her np; then they had no time to bear her or stay her. If the steamer had stopped her engines before that, or starboarded her helm, the collision would not have happened. The steamer was keping full steam. The Christina was going tour or five knots. When close hauled, she took about eight points. They were sailing'as close to the ■ wind as possible. At the time the actual collision took place, the schooner had just been luffed, and her sails were shaking. He had been fourteen years at sea. The Christina was a very slow vessel, and they couldnot keep the'sheet very close to the wind. By Mr Russell :—The luffing up took place when the veasela were fully 100 yards dis. tant. They struck the steamer within two feet of the stern-post. The starboarding of the helm gave them more room to wear, but still there. was not sufficient room. The schooner Hawk was 100 yards inside the spot where the Christina came to anchor after the collision, and the schooner had drifted sqme distance in shore then.— Mr Russell said he had brought out this point to show that there was sufficient room to wear, the schooner. —Examination continued.' —i The schooner would ■ not wear within one hundred yards. — The log of the Christina, which had been sent tor at Mr Russell's request was pro duced in Court. —Mr Kussell said the log did not state the course or the way the wind was blowing, and consequently it was useless. — Mr Whitaker said that as the log had been produced, he would ask that it be admitted. It would then be seen that the captain's account of the collision written at the time, corrobo rated the evidence given by the witnesses. —John Frederick Stride was then called, and deposed that on the Ist June he was cook and seaman on the Christina. When 1 the accident occurred, he was standing near to the captain. The schooner was standing across the harbour, beating out. The steamer was qoming from the North Shore. They stood across the harbour,, just weath ering the red buoy. When the steamer was three or four hundred yards from the red buoy, the steamer commenced to starboard his helm. They could tell by the wake of his water. That put the steamer out of his course.and he believed the captain thought he would cross their bow. If his captain had put the helm down then, he did not think the schooner would have passed under the stern ot the schooner. If the steamer had stopped his engines, and reversed, He believed the collision would not have occurred.—To Mr Whitaker :He had been eight years and a half at sea, 'and about nine months in the Christine. She was not a good sailor, and with a fresh breeze behind her she could not do more than seven miles. On the day of the collision, she was sailing about four or five miles an honr.. She generally carried her mainsail wiUi the sheet eased off a bit. - a ■' ■ t The-'enquiry was then adjonrned till <s.lo p.ru-

PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

WELLINGTON, this atternoon,

It is expected that the Upper House will strike out the clauses re the club licences, when the Licensing Bill is re-committed.

THE WORKS STATEMENT.

The Public Works Statement seemed to fall flat last night, and seems to have created but small interest to-day. One Auckland member sums it up thus: " A few people have got more than they have a right to get, a few whai they had a right to expect and a few others less than they were entitled to, and everybody has obtained something." Members have not had time to digest such a bulky statement, and can hardly be expected to form an opinion.

The House This Afternoon.

Mr Murray gave notice to ask if the Government would communicate with other Australian colonies with the view of securing one uniform patent law for the colonies to enable a person with the greater facility, implicity and economy to obtain protection and reward for their ingenuity. RELAXATION OF QUARANTINE REGULATIONS. In the House to-day, Mr Hutchison asked how it was that the Wakatipu has been allowed to land passengers and cargo to-day. Mr Dick explained that it was under the new Quarantine Regulations, which had been framed on competent medical au thority. Mr Geoege, without notice, asked if the Whakatipu's mails had been fumigated. Mr Johnston said the member had better give notice of the question. Mr Anbrkws said if such curt, evasive replies were to bo given he would move the adjournment of the House to enable mem bers to express their opinions. Mr Georoe said it was quite impossible that the Wakatipu's crew and passengers could have complied with the recent quarantine regulations. They could not all have been recently and successfully vaccinated. It was a disgraceful proceed ing, due to local influence. Mr Tuenbull agreed in this. Mr McLean said he had known nothing of the new regulations till issued, but he condemned the action taken by New Zea land alone amongst the colonies in refusing to enter vessels coming from Sydney with clean Bills of Health. He objected to insinuations tkrown out. The Union Com pany neither asked por received any ex ceptional favour. The interference which had taken place with the Sydney trade was unreasonable.

The discussion is proceeding,

House of Representatives.

Tuesday. The House met at 2.30. On the report of the Public Accounts Committee, relative to the £300 paid to Mr Rees, Mr Hall said that he would consider the matter, and inform the House what course the Government would take. The Goldflelds Committee reported on: the Gold Duty Abolition Bill, recommend ing the total abolition of the duty. THE FLYING SQUADRON. Mr Hall laid on tne table a copy of the correspondence relative to the Flying Squadron, and, in doing so, explained, in contradiction to a report circulated that the alteration in the programme by which the Squadron would not visit New Zealand was not due to the interference of the Govern ment. He begged most emphatically to contradict the statement. The change was due entirely, he believed, to the serious ill ness of the Earl of Clanwilliam, and the accident to the Bacchante. TUAKAU AND WAIKATO RIVERS. Replying to Major Harris, Mr Hall said the Government had not seen its way to make pecuniary provision for a road to be opened into Crown lands in the northern part of Raglan county, near Tuakau, and he would consider the application for the use of the punt formerly at ( Te Kore, at the crossing-place selected on the Waikato river. TEWHAREPA. Reolying to Mr Kelly, Mr Hall said that a copy of the despatch from the Gover nor to the Secretary ot State, re commuting the sentence passed on Te Wharepa. the Chatham Island murderer, would be laid on the table shortly. REPRESENTATI ON. Mr Moss gave notice that, on the second reading of the Representation Bill, he would move as an amendment, " That it waß un desirable that the proportion of the repre sentation between the two islands should be disturbed, and that any redistribution of seats should be internal as regards each island. THE ESTIMATES. ; On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr Murray moved as an amend ment, "That the estimates submitted be reduced £50,000." Mr Rolleston said that it was unfair to table an amendment of this kind without indicating the direction which it was pro posed the reduction should be made. He admitted the expenditure of the colony for services was too large, and out of all pro portion to those of other colonies. In New Zealand it amounted to £35,000, whereas in New South Wales it did not exceed £18,000; Queensland, £11,000 ; and South Australia, per. 1000. Recognising these facts, the Government had made reductions, and were still anxious to do so. He did not think the proposal in its present shape should be entertained. A number of items were carried without amendment. LICENSING BILL. In the Legislative Council the Licensing Bill got through committee with a number of amendments, and was ordered for third reading on Thursday, when it will be re committed for further consideration of post poned clauses.

(From another Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

Matters in reference to the Redistribution Bill become almost hourly more compli cated. The meeting of the Auckland mem bers to-day was adjourned for the purpose of permitting the Wellington Caucus to take place this afternoon before finally deciding • upon course of action. It was pointed out at the Caucus that Wellington could not well coalesce with Auckland, as the former would require pledges for non-removal of the Seat of Go vernment and port-of-call of a direct line of steamers proposed to be established, to be fixed at Wellington, in return for which Auckland would get one or two members if the House could, by the joint efforts, be got to agree and the bill was not killed. It was also urged that the division of North and South Islands was absurd, as Nelson, Maryborough, and Westland in South Island had far greater community of interest with Wellington than with Otaeo and, Canterbury. Also that it would- be impossible to ' think of leaving places numbering only 1,600 to 2000 people to return a member, when in other parts of the colony 14,000 people only returned one member. TARANAKI HARBOUR WORKS. : The report ot the committee for the Taranaki harbour will be brought up to morrow. I understand it will advise that the Government should take over the liability and works, and stop all further work of any kind, as the harbour is quite beyond the means or requirement of Tara naki. I think the House would endorse the report. It is estimated that to finish the harbour would cost over half a million.
