CITY COUNCIL.

The annual meeting of the City Council was held to-day at noon, there being pre. sent:—The Mavor(J. M. Clark, Esq.), and Cn». Thompson, Aickin, Fleming, Offer, Crowther, Waddel, Hemus.

Anhual Reports.—The annual reports, printed in pamphlet form, were laid on the table. . . MayokAL Address.—His Worship, m opening the proceedings, made some re marks apon the works done during the past year, and the present position of the Council. The most important question, lie aaid, was that of finance, but he did not intend to enter upon it Bt any length now, as' he P'opoaed to deal with it fully at the end of tne finan cial year in March nest. He had to_ congra tulate the ratepayers upon the increase which had taken place in cvory department of. revenue, and more es pecially in the Waterworks working account and the rates, the effect of which would be to place at the disposal of the Council for expenditure a sum of £2,000 or £3,000 instead of £1,000 merely, as had been anticipated. The ratepayers had also reason to feel gratified with the bonking arrangements which had been concluded for the next three years, for the conditions obtained were more liberal than had been pot by many ot the Australian colonies. Oar waterworks system bad now been purged of moat of the mistakes which had formerly been associated with it, and various means had been taken to render the supply purer and more effec tive. The pipes had been removed from the stagnant bight, whence the water had previously been drawn, to a fresh running stream. The aupply.too.was ample enough to meet the requirements of » population five times greater than that of Auckland. After the holidays the water works by-laws would be revised with the object of reducing the price of water, and extending the metre supply. The question of supplying the neighbouring districts with water and extinguishing their fires would also receive consideration, but he did not think any really satisfactoryresultcould be achieved until the city bonndanes had been extended. It had been suggested that a sum necessary for the construction of a Town Hall and Free Library should be taken out of the loan, and the matter had been referred to the Corporation Solicitor for his opinion. H. e. co I n' sidered that the Council deserved to be heartily congratulated upon the steps taken to provide the citizens withaFark easily accessible from all points. The site of the old barracks was admirably suited for the purpose, and the only difficulty that had been encountered was that in connec tion with the old armoury, but he thought that its removal would now soon bo arranged for. The only other subject that required attention at his hands was the diversion of the main sewer/.so as to con serve the public health. Although the Go vernmont had not seen fit to adopt the City Surveyor's suggestion to carry the sewer to the end of the breakwater, jo as to Rive a delivery to deep water, still an improvement had been made, and hopes were entertained that the Govern ment would enlarge its plan in the direc tion favoured by the council and its officers. In conclusion he had to thank the Councillors for the consideration shewn him during his term of office, and to compli ment them upon their devotion to their municipal duties. Aftor a yeart experi ence ot the Auckland City Council, he had no hesitation in declaring it to he surpassed by no similar body in these colonies for an absence of anything like jobbery, for the consistent attention given >v the Coun cillors to the business brought before them, and for their earnest desire to do their duty. His Worship then made the statutory affir mation required of him in assuming office.— Cr. Aickin congratulated the Mayor upon his unopposed re-election to the Mayoralty. He looked upon it as the fitting reward of Mr Clark's assiduous attention to and painstaking care in discharging his Mayoral dnties.-Crs. Crowther and Hemus spoke in similarly flattering terms of His Worship, and of the satisfaction he had Riven both Councillors and ratepayers. Thk. Coff.be Palace.—The directors of the Coffee Palace Company applied for leave to have architectural projections upon their proposed building, on the condition that they would only commence with the first floor, and be sufficiently guarded to avoid any insonvenienco to the public.— Referred to the Finance and Ueneral Fur poses Committee. . TENDBBS.—Tenders for annual contracts were received and dealt with as followsi:- For timber : New Zealand Timber Com pany (accepted), Auckland Timber Com pany. For ironwork, nails, etc.: George Leahy (accepted), R. M. Brighton. 1-or Removal of City Kefuse : Geo. Wilson (ac cepted) £42 per month, and £1 per month each for extra streets.
