SUSPECTED INCENDIARISM,

William Gosling, a farmer at Mount Horrible, had a large bay stack burned last night. Incendiarism is suspected, and the police aro now looking for the suspected parties.

ST. FRANCES DE SALES' CHURCH.

A MEETING of Roman Catholics was held in St. Frances de Sales' Church, New on, on Sunday last, to consider the question of erecting a new church for the parish of Newton. The Very Key. F. O'Sullivan presided, and the Rev. Messrs Downey, Breiken, and O'Gara (0.5.8.), were also present. Mr Mahon read the report, as fol lows:—"Your committee beg to report: (1) That a splendid site has been chosen by the Very Rev. Father O'Sullivan aud other Benedictine Fathers resident iv the parish. (2) The committee found, on enquiry being made by His Grace Archbishop Steins and by members of the committee, that the present church could not be added to in such a way »s to give the accommodation required by the parish. (3) The church known as Dr. Wallis's could not be obtained. Your committee therefore strongly recommend to the favourable consideration of this meeting the following information with reference to the cost of site and new church, and the suggested proposals by the Very Rev. Father O'Sullivan for collecting the neces sary sum to meet the liability :—(1) The new parish church, including the splendid site chosen for it, will cost, in Mr Mahoney's opinion, about £5000, rather more than less. The inside area will cover about 130 x 70ft., and bemeanttoaccommodatefromßoo toIOOO (2) It will take some time to collect so large a sum, but it will be necessary to be in °a position to pay off the builder on the completion of his contract. Among the means proposed for collecting the required sum the following maybe mentioned :—(1) Open subscription lists. (2) House to house collections. (3) Bazaar, future date to be fixed at once. (4) Concert. (5) Soiree. (C) Small weekly subscriptions not to exceed Is per house or per head. (7) Collections at laying foundation stone. (8) Opening. The friends of the Benedictine Fathers, and their work, are earnestly re quested to aid them in carrying out this undertaking to a speedy and Happy con clusion. Your Committee beg to state that the sum of £150, has been collected _by them, and paid, by the trustees, into the Auckland Savings Bank, and that a further sum of £240 is already promised. In conclusion your Committee beg to state that, as a suitable- site has now been ob tained, it will be necessary for the par ishioners to elect a new committee, and respectfully suggest that an influential committee, consisting of gentlemen resident in other parishes, belonging to the diocese of Auckland, in compunction with some from this parish, be formed, for the purpose of assisting tho clergy in biinging to a speedy conclusion the work proposed. Mr White then moved, Mr Clarke seconded, and it was carried unanimously, " That in the opinion of this meeting it is advisable that a church, as proposed by the Veiy Rev. Father u'Sullivan, and contained in the Committee's report, be erected on the site, viz,, corner of East and Albert-streets, Newton.' It was proposed by Mr Cosgrave, and seconded by Mr Quaid, "That the names of intending subscribers be taken down at this meeting." In pro posing the last resolution Mr Cosgrave dwelt upon the necessity for regular sub scriptions to accomplish the end in sicvr. Everyone should give a propoftion to his means, say 20s, 15s, 10s, ss, or even 2s 6d a-week for a certain time, say 12 months. Though not a member of the parish he would help his fellow Catholics to the best of his power, and would at once put his name down for £25, and 2s Gd weekly up to £50. The following amounts were then subscribed :-Dr. Lee gave £50; Mr Comisky, £50; the Benedictine Fathers, £150; Miss Stevenson, £10 ;Mr P. Brophy, £30; Mr W. G- Connolly, £10; Mr Grey, £5; Mr Still, £5; Mr Dampier, £10, &c, amounting in all to £579. On the motion of Mr Brophy the following committee was formed with power to add to their number : Hon. P. Dignan, Captains Dignan and Mahon, Messrs Cosgrave (J.P.), J. Tole (M H.R.), J. Comisky, J. T. Boylan, E. Mahoney (jun.), T. Kelly, Brophy, Green wood, P. Darby, Haslam, Dunne, Larkm, J. T. Clarke, O'Connor, Eyre, Dampier, White, Mahon, Gallagher. It was proposed by Mr Comiskey.seconded by Mr McEvoy, " That in the opinion of this meeting, it is advisable that a bazaar be held some time in December next, for the purpose of raising funds for the erection of the Church in East-street, Newton. That the ladies in the diocese of Auckland bo requested to assist in the matter, and that the clergy bo requested to call a meeting ot ladies as soon as convenient," This was also carried. , ... » „t The meeting terminated with a vote ot thanks to the cbair and the gentlemen who had come from other parishes to attend the meeting. Mr Cosgrave tendered an apology from Mr Greenwood.

CITY SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

THE DISPUTE WITH THE BOARD,

A SPECIAL meeting of the City School Com mittee convened for tho purpose of consider ing a communication from the Board con. cerning the taking over of the We lesley. street School was held last night. There were present : —The Chairman (Mr W, Gorric), and Messrs. Hewin, Andrew, McMaster, Schmidt, and Thwaites. As the last-named gentleman was unable to wait for the discussion, he was invited to state his views upon the business of the evening before the minutes of the previous meeting were read.

Mr Thwaites then said that his advice was for them to wait as a deputation iv' conjunc tion with the three city representatives and the threo suburban representatives upon tho Attorney-'Jonoral, lay before him an explan ation of tho wholo dispute and elicit an expression of opiuiou as to tho course they should pursue. If necessary they could then engage Mr Hesketh to carry tho mattor iurther. Although ho was desirous ot securing a peaceful settlement of the difficulty, still they had been treated so contemptuously throughout by the Board that he would not counsel tho slightest withdrawal from the position which they had now tnkeu up, unless it could clearly be shewn to be unsound.

The minutes having been read and con firmed, Tho Chairman announced as a matter of form that the Committee had been called together to consider a letter which had been received from tho Board in reply to the Committeo's remonstruueo to tho pro posed removal of the Wellesley-street School from their control.

The Secretary then read the letter which was substautinlly identical with the state ment made by the Chairman of the Board of Education on Friday last, and published in cxtonso by us.

Mr Schmidt said that when he read tho report of the discussion at the Board's last meeting in Friday night's Star ho at once sat down and wrote a reply the reading of which might facilitate the discussion, be sides setting forth plainly his opinions on the mattor. The gentlomau then read the following : —

In loply to the memo, of tho Board, this Coiumittco respectfully intoim the Board that they still adhere to their previously expressed opinion, that—Wellesley-street school having been up to the present time a public school in the meaning of the Acf, the Board have no legal power to use the school as a practising school without the definito co-Bent of the committee ; that any previous intentions on the part of tho Board with respect to the future use of the school or the school buildings in Wellesley-street, ns a practising school, or any notifications of such intention by the Board to the Com mittee, cannot affect tho present position or the character of the school ns a public school iv the meaning of tho Educatiou Act. That the term "Public School,"ns employed iv the Act, must mean the attending scholars and teachers in the first place, nud tho premises used for instruction only in a secondary place. That any notification the Board have given, respecting tho intention of the Board of establishing and maintain ing a practising school iv future iv Welles ley-street could only havo been received by the Committee referring to the use of tho buildings, inasmuch as tho fornijil consent of the Committee to allow the school (that is the pupils and teachers) to be used as a practising school, was never asked by the rioarii, and as far as the Committee is aware never given by them. Tho Committee have no objection for the Board to use the Welksley-strect school buildings for the establishment of a practising school, provided the Board will provide other suit able accommodation for the use ot the pupils and staff of teachers vow attending Wellesley-street school building*. This Committee is of opiuiou that their assent has never been asked or been obtained by the Board to use Wellesley-street school (with tho exception of the building known as Wellesley-street school) as a practising school. The Committee further opine that even had the Board obtained the consent of the Committee to use a public school as a practising school the Committee would not cease to have control over such school as far ns the same will (even as a practising school) remain a public school; that, iv fact, the absolute control and ad ministration of the Board should extend to the training college only. The Committee would further respectfully submit to the consideration of the Board their opinion that if any special clause in the Education Act would seemingly sustain the Board in their present action, viz., to usd the Wel lesley-street school as a practising school against the wishes of the Committee, that the Board even possessed the legal power, the exercise of such legal power on the part of tho Board in this instance would be con trary to the spirit of the Education A.ct as a whole, which provides for the elections of the Committee by the householders and parents as their representatives, to partake in the control and management of the schools attended by their children. The Act provides for a large extent ot usefulness and authority of these Committees, so as to strengthen and maintain the interest nnd the sympathy of the general public in the progress and success of the educational system, whereas the proposed action ot I he Board iv withdrawing nearly 50 per cent of the total number of school children from under the control aud administration of the Committee under the absolute control of the Board, must seriously curtail aud lessen the usefulness of the Committee, and would apparently indicate a desire on the patt of the Board to do away with the cilicacy of the Committee to a very large extent, which would naturally lessen nnd weaken the public sympathy aud interest in the work ing of the educational system as it would de prive the public from having, trhough their representatives, a voice in the administration of the public schools. The committee are not at present prepared to express a delinite opinion how far the interoets of the children attending Wellesley-street school will be affected by using this school as a practising school. That is how far the primary affect of a public school the education of the children must naturally suffer to achieve the special object of a practising school, the education and training ot teachers ; to (vhat extent the educating and training of tea chers must encroach upon and delay the achievement of the more important oiEces of the educating and training of the chil dren atteuding ; but while the committee regret that the Board consider it necessary to use so large and so popular a school for this purpose, they are conscious of only ' doing their duty, of earnestly protesting as representative of their parents against the action of the Board, which would deprive these parents of their right of partaking in the control and management of the school attended by their children—a right which the Act clearly intends should be vested in them. The committee would earnestly ap peal to the Board, eutreating that the Board should forego any legal power the Board may assume to possess in the pursu ance of their proposed action in deference to the imminent dan; _ to the future progress and succ<si of the pre sent national system of education which must entirely depend upon the continued active interest and hearty syra-, pathy of the public generally, and the parents of the children specially, permitting and encouraging their co-operation in the management of these schools to the very largest possible extent. He thought he had touched all the principal points, but if any member objected to the statement he was prepared to withdraw it. If not, he would move that it should be sent as the reply of the Committee. Mr McMaster considered it desirable to hold over the statement for the present The Board was clearly acting " ultra vires," and he had no doubt that the Chairman, possessing as he did a knowledge of the whole matter, would be able to put it clearly before them. The Chairman expressed his full concur rence with the opinions enunciated and arguments used in Mr Schmidt's statement, and as a further remonstrance, he deemed it excellent. He had jotted down shortly his own view 3 upon the matter, and he would therefore take the opportunity of reading it, when they could enter fully into the discussion. Mr Gorrie then submitted the appended statement :— REPLY OF THE COMMITTEE.

"The reply of the Board to the commit tee's remonstrance on the matter of taking over the Wellesley-street school as a prac tisine school in connection with the train ine college deals largely with a question which is not at issue, viz., the benefit to be derived from the establishment of such institutions, aud the necessity for them in this district. The committee are at one with the Board in their desire for tho suc cessful carrying out of such a scheme but with the proponed mode of doing so the committee cannot acquiesce. " In the first place, it seems very doubt ful whether the Education Act, while it em powers the Governor in Council to make, alter, and repeal regulations and orders for the establishment and management of nor mal or training college.' gives any power to authorise the taking from the coni rol of a_y school committee, and thus practically abolisbin" any public school established u_£ the°Act y ; but it.would appear at,a proper reading of the regu ation of the governor in Council justifies the conclusion that no such unjust proceeding was contem plated! clause 5 stating that«any Education ■J .»-w-^M»____>«r-.l___J»_-_____.ia--^Ui .Ji - Jnr] In *-

Hoard having tho control of a normal school or training college may establish or main tain, iv connection with such school or college, a public school to be used as a practising school; or may agree with the committee ot any school district for the use ot any public school within such distiict ns a practising school,' &c. If this clause is not intended to mean that whero the Board have not expressly established a practising school in couuoction with a traiuing college it shall be their duty to agree with a committee for the use of a public school—if the Board can legally do what they claim to do in the case in dispute—then this clause iv tho regulations is simply useless verbiage. In the second place, the committee do not agree with tho "Board that these 'prac tising schools aro not different from other public schools—they aro in fact public schools under the Act.' The committee assert that if this control of any school is taken awny, that school then ceases to bo a public school within the meaning of the Act, nnd that in fact a so-called practising school is not a public school within the meaning of tho Act, unless it is controlled by a committte duly elected. " With reference to the correspondence of the past two years on the subject of the Welleslcy - street school, detailed in tho Board's communication, it may be pointed out that there aro some omissions, which supplied, may appear to throw some addi tional light on the subject. For instauce, under date 9th April, 1879, Itbe Secretary of the Board writes :—' Tho Board having pur chased the leasehold of four allotments ad joining the Wellesley-strcetßchool, for the purpose of erecting a suitable building for use in omicction with the training college about to he established,' forwards two plans ' for inspection, nnd for any suggestions they may wish,to ollbr thereon; and subse quently, ou 3rd October, notifying accept ance of tender for erection of the new build ing. Again, in tho Hoard's letter of sth April Inst, partially quotod iv the recited cor respondence, there is tho statement, after an nouncing that the Choral Hall school was to be removed to Wellosley-strcct on comple tion of the addition, 'a portion of the new building will be required for tho uso of the training college, the remainder will bo avail able for ordinary school purpose-. Enclosed is a plan showing tho rooms—l to 4 —mid the area so available ;' and on the 21st, the Inspector asks if the committee have any suggestions to make in connection with tho occupation of tho new school buildings in Wellesley-slreet; and, if bo, what thoso suggestions are V aud tho Secretary, under duto April 27, in reply to the committee's letter approving of the arrangements, but also requesting that tho use of room S might bo granted until such time as required for tho training colleuo, writes : ' That tho Board has no objection to offer to your committee's suggestion that the largo room intended to be reserved for the purpose of tho training college be mado available|for ordinary school purposes, sub ject to the conditions named in your letter;' and again, on 25th June, the Secretary writes, drawing attention of committee to She use being made of other rooms in tho new building than those authorised for ' pnblicjschool purposes,' to which the com mittee replied that any rooms not authorised would be given up when required. " It will thus be seen that in tho whole j tenor of tho Board's correspondence" with the committee there was nothing to indicate the intention of the Board to exclude the com mittee from auy voice in tho management of Wellesley-street School as soon as tho traiu ing college came to bo started. "It must also be borne in mind that though the Board intimated in their letter of 18ih February, 1879, that it was ' pro posed to uso the Wellesley-street School in connection with the training college about to be established,' and requesting the com mittee to undertake the local supervision uutil completion of arrangements, there was no absolute consent on the part of tho com mittee to any arrangement which would exclude their constituents from that say iv the control of a public school which the Act provides for, and even if the committee of that year had given such assent, which is by no means admitted, it would seem that in so d«iug they assented to an ar rangement they had no power to make. But, independently of that other circum stances subsequently occurred which mate rially altered the state of affairs, because the Board proceeded to the erection of another building iv Wellesley-street, ostensibly for tho purposes of a train ing college ; but when it was ready it was handed over tc the committee. Tho Choral Hall School was removed, and amalgamated with the Wellesley-street School, tho whole becoming oue common school under the Act, the Board only reserving the right to re enter that portion which was required for the purposes of the training college, such portion being thus defined. " Isut the really important question nt issue has not been dealt with by the Board in thrir reply to the remonstrance of tho committee, viz., the right of the Board to tako away from public coutrol, without consent, a public school duly established under tho Act. If the Board had a legal right to_ do so, and that the committee dispute, it is quite certain that such procedure would be very injudicious Any such act, which would tend to impair the interest, becoming more and more apparent as the working of the present Education Act becomes more effective, should be carefully avoided; and when, as iv the present case, there are more ways of procedure than one open, it seems most desirable that that course should be adopted which will prevent any rupture of the harmony that should exist between the different governing bodies concerned in the ! working of the system. "Iv reviewing the whole state of the case, the committee feel that they would not he justified in the interests of their constitu ents in giving up control of Wellesley street school." That seemed to him to embrace some points which the Board had omitted in their his tory of the affair. Some of it might appear irrelevant, ns for instance tho submission of tho plans, but things like these shewed clearly the opinion held at tho time. Mr McMaster enquired if all this trouble could not have been avoided had the Secretary of the Board laid before the members of the body a plain and full

statement of the case ?

The Chairman considered this question a difficult one to answer. There was no doubt that the business of the Board had largely fallen into the hands ot tho officials. Mr Hewin blamed the Chairman of the Board for not enquiringinto the matter before putting forward his statement which seemed to be got up especially with a view of making out a good case for the Board. He assumed that this was the result of a super ficial knowledge of the question, for if that assumption were not mado the Chairman would have to be charged with designedly issuin" a statement which omitted many important facts and placed others in an un-

fair light. The Chairman did not think Mr Clark had wilfully made a false statement. He blamed him, however, for not going fully

into the matter. Mr Andrew expressed surprise that the Board should take up a position based upon such an uncertain foundation as they now

appeared to occupy. Mr Hewin was astonished that the Board should treat so important a matter in an offhand way, and, also, that the chairmaD should issue such a lengthy statement as he had without being better informed. They

bad been very impetuous. The Chairman considered that had the Board accepted the position suggested in Mr Dargaville's motion, by agreeing to a con ference of the two bodies the matter might easily have been settled, but by refus'ng to make even that slight concession they had rendered the chances of an agreement

iar more remote. Mr McMaster apprehended that the Board would yet have to sustain itself upon the other leg to which Mr Peacock had alluded. He was susprised at this gentle man's action, esptcially when he had admitted that he had been under the im pression that only a portion of the school was required. Mr Hewin said that as Mr Dargaville was curious to learn the motive of the reply, the best thing they could do would be to forward the Chairman's statement. He thought the Committee would compare very favourably with the Board, and in his opinion they had the better side of the

question. '1 he Chairman remarked that the letter of tho Board was in great part a mere recital of the advantages accruing from the establishment of a Training College and Practising School, which they did not dispute, but the question was the legality of their action in removing from tho control of the Committee a public school with its full equipment of teachers. The stand taken by Messrs. Moss and Goldie was referred to, and applauded. Mr McMaster said that it seemed to him evident that a practising school had already been established in Wyndham-street. Mr Hewin observed that the Act would have to be more carefully studied in the school referred to before the rulers of it could deal with them. The Chairman mentioned that from his recollections of the earlier history of the matter the Board invited the Chairmen of the various City School Districts to attend a conference with a view to the amalgama tion of tho districts in order to pave the way for the establishment of a training college. Several of the chairmen did not

I respond and tho conference was therefore without result. Subsequently the Com mittee of City West No. 1 School District protested against the proposed amalgama tion, which protest was disregarded. The other committees did not reply. The correspondence was then looked up and read. It was regarded as sustaining the Committee's position. After Borue further discussion it was resolved, upon the motion of Mr Schmidt seconded by Mr Hewin, that the Chairman's wntteu statement should be forwarded to the Board as the Committee's reply. Mr McMaster enquired the next step, presuiniug the Board persisted iv their determination to secure control of the school. The Chairman replied that the next step would probably be to apply to the Court for a writ of ejectment. The question for • tho Committeemen, therefore, to consider was—Wire they prepared to put their hands into their pockets in order to with stand a writ of ejectment ? Messrs Hewin and McMaster expressed their readiness to go to this length. Mr Schmidt, before pledging himself, wished to know the probable sum required. The Chairman said that he had forgotten to mention that the Chairman of the Board had waited upon him aud requested the use of tho Wellesley-street schoolbuilding for the teachers' cxamiuatiou, pending the settle ment of the dispute. The Board had made arrangemouts for holding the examinations thoro beforo the dispute occurred, and they could not alter them now without great inconvenience. Upon the distinct assur ance that thu occupation of the building for this purpose was not to prejudice in any way the Committee's position, the request was granted. After somo further discussion the Com mittee proceeded to tho consideration of tho remaining business. Miss Sinclair's Removal.—A letter was received from the Board acknowledging receipt of a favour, iv which the Committee desiicd to be made acquainted with the reasons for Miss Sinclair's proposed removal from the Bercsford-street school, and stating in reply that tho object of the Board's notification of tho proposed romovul was to afford tho Committee an opportunity of expressing their opinion upon tho intended action, which they had failed to do. It went on to say that while the Board did not recognise the right ot the Uunimittoo to ask for tho grounds of tho Board in this mattor, the Secretary was directed to say, that iv the case of Miss Sinclair tho removal was caused by tho promotion of the teacher. — The touo of this letter was unanimously condemned as very offensive, and the Com mittee's action in requesting a statement of the reasons for Miss Sinclair's removal was stated to be quite proper and right.—After an expression of opinion to this oll'cct, it was resolved to send the following reply to tho Board:—" Tho C mmittee, while consenting to the removal of Miss Sinclair on promotion to another school; beg to protest against tho statement that the Committee have no right to ask for tho reasons of the removal. The bald statement which was made in the Board's letter of 24th December was scarcely sufficient to enable tho Committee to ox prcss any opiniou on the desirability of tho proposed change, and tho Committee con sider they were quite justified in making the enquiry. The Committee also dosirc to express their disapproval of the style of the Board's letter of tho 7th inst." Sundry Matters.—Further letters were received from the Hoard, stating :—(1) That directions had been given for tho laying of larger drain-pipes at tho High-street school, in accordance with the Committee's recom mendation ; (2) That it is proposed to ap point temporarily, as an assistant teacher, at the Nelson-street school, Mr George Thwaites, recently in charge of the Ohaupo school; aud (3), that tho provisions of sec tion 45 of the Act precluded the Board from giviug effect to the Committee's re commendation for the appointment of Mi- Bruce to tho post of assistant mastor of the Beresford-street school, inasmuch as he did not hold a certificate of competency as a teacher.—lt was agreed with reference to this last matter to inform the Board that the Committee had not overlooked the pro visions of clause 15 referred to, and that as the second soctiou of tho clause gave oppor tunity for the temporary appointment of an uncertificated teacher the Committee pres sed for the temporary appointmeut of Mr Bruce.—Mr Thwaites' appointmeut was approved. Candidates for Board Member ship.—Letters were received from Messrf. Dargavillc, Moat, and Hobbs, stating their willingness to accept nomination at the hands of the Committee as candidates for the seats at tho Board which are about to he vacated through cllluxiou of time.—Mr Thwaites rcportod the result of an inter view with Mr'l. Thompson.lv which he hod pressed that gentlemen to come forward. 1 be nomination of candidates was, after some consideration, deferred. Annual Accounts.—The Secretary read tho detailed annual accounts, of which tho following is nu abstract :—Total in come, i'37B 17s 2d ; total expenditure, £37S 3s 8d ; balance in hand ou 31st December, 13s Gd, The several school accounts are as follows : — Bcresford - street : Receipts, £82 5s ; expenditure, £99 lis KM. Nelson street : Receipts, £07 Is ; expenditure, £71 17s Id. Wellesley-street East.: Receipts, £121 8s 6d ; expenditure, £109 0$ lOd. High street : Receipts, £38 17s; expenditure, £34 14s Gd. Choral Hall : Receipts, £3G 13s Sd; expenditure, £12 lis 7d. Howc-strcet: Bcceipts, £19175; expendi ture, £7 3s sd. Committee's expenses for the year, £42 15s sd.—The Chairman and several other members expressed their opinion that this financial statement showed clearly that if the schools were to be properly administered an increase would have to be made to the committees. The present allowance was quite inadequate. After agreeing to give full publicity to the notice convening the annual meeting of householders, the Committee adjourned, provision being made for the holding of a special meeting should oue be found necessary

HARBOUR BOARD.

The fortnightly meeting ot the Harbour Boatd was held this afternoon, there being preseent:—Messrs. McKenzie (Chairman), Waddel, Aickin, Thompson, Brown, Daldy, Compton, Stone, Maselield, Boylan, and T. Morrio.

It was agreed to inform the Chairman of the Pukeatua Board had no juiisdiction in respect of Weiti Creek. Committee Reports.—Tho reports of the Works and Finance Committees were read and adopted. Dock Borinos.—The following report was received from the Engineer, dated the 10th inst. :—"I have the honour to repoit having caused a trial shaft six feet square jto be sunk in connection with the Graying Dock, proposed to be constructed at Calliope Point, North Shore. The shaft has been excavated to a depth of 28 feet from high water mark, or 1C feet below.low water, mark spring tides, No difficulty was ex-' perienced in sinking the shaft until the present depth, 28 feet, was reached, when the men had to cease work, owing to the inflow of sea water. The shaft has been carried down through rock, or indurated clay of a very solid nature; the rock works easily under the tools, and is not expensive to excavate, and would form a really ex cellent foundation for a dock, and should the whole excavation for the dock prove as free from water bearing fissures or veins as the trial shaft, there will be very little trouble from leakage during the progross of the works. -rora borings I aye taken I find that the rock from low water marks dips rapidly away towards the channel, and at 280 feet from the edge of, tho cliff, at high water mark, there is 10 feet depth of mud. Should the Board decide to enter upon the construction of a dock at this site I am of opinion that it would be advisable to excavate that portion of the dock site above low water mark. No coffer dam would be required to carry on the work, and as the expenditure would be small, and the excavation of the dock would take some time, the work might be paid for out of -urplus revenue, and a con siderable saving in tho total cost of the dock would probably be effected in design. : ing a dock if the said excavation was mad ■ first. With reference to the cost of the ; | proposed dock I am still of opinion that the

estimate submitted by nic on the 21st September last, viz., £80,000, is re liable, and 1 would state that the large dock now tinder construction for the Lvttelton Harbour Board at Lvttelton will cost about £80,000.-1 am, &c., D. E. McDonald, Engineer."—lt was rcolvod to have , r>oo copies of the report printed for public circulation. Tendkrs.— The followiug tenders were received for cleaning and sweeping the wharf :-Henry G. Huuter, £G per month ; Jas. Fletcher, £S per month ; Alex. Bdger, £12 per month ; Thos. Devonport, £8 per month ; Robert Brown, £7 4s per month ; Henry Osborne, £11 per month ; Abraham Fletcher, £8 7s per month; Joseph Senior, £10 per month.
