THIS DRAINAGE OF THE CITY.

Proposal to Adopt it^ew ' Scheme Losi t y'<l:

At the Cily Council meeting lastOTeniiig, Cr 4ickin moved a rcsolntisD;'-of;*hich; he h»d previous notlcft'jo'.iJijjefliect that the urveyorbe, icstrnoted toiepoit on' a complete scheme of deilbg"with, tW drainage of the city, and sbbwir# tke b-eatf: moie of ultimate disposal of the stna-'. Cr AickiD, in moving the resolution,' Wit this wag one of the questions ihat musii|6; considered by the Council very soon, IV was Oae of greater importance1 thta any question which had 'beentbefore the Uouocil for some., tim?, «nd especially was it important in view of a loan. He did not see how they could haw a loan-without appending a ■ drainage schvms in the schedule. The present k<s. tern was very primitive ia. the -'light.if modem improvements, The - mattilr ; of drainage' had bee>) before the (Wjictf last in 1874, wben a very exnausfcive repoJV which cost them £300, had been prepared^ Mr Clark. If ihat r port was necessity! with a population of 14 000, it was mica' more so now' with a population of; 30;Q00. Ue mentioned: that it was now believed by,! scientists lint the drainage from close's; should b.O krpt. apart from the- Bhr/a'cji water. ■. Tic present «ystcm was un?atisfa> tory and unscfcnttlic. The modern lnctbol .was to precipitate the solid pottidn hi tua' draindge and paly .the liquid portion/de*' odorised, was discharges, ihe solid matter" idonld be utilised for; manure,' and was ,a very. valuable commoittty,, >liia. Was aa, aupti>; priate time to take up ttie qiißstion,in viownf; ' the loan. He did not propose that the next loan should complete the whole scheme, jNo one possessed of rational ideas -orsi 'knowledge of their resources wonld'do ttiSP ■-. .Th.ir Engineer, with. Mr'Claris''36i|# report, could report as to iho bejt.Mfflne, of drainage within their meins. HB|r<>ald not confine the BUrvejcl.to precigiutjoa «| • any other method.

The scheme would be anespeclil boon toKar'angdhape, and also to Pjo^nbw indeed, tbey were iii a measure,ijfdgi&jll the-o wards.to provide drainage. In can cliHinu, he read a yiortion of, i(fr CJprJc's roport. — Cr Maekechnie seconaiil the motion, but pointed out that notbujg,OPßjd be done by the Surveyor until tho levels of tho streets veto fixed. This, ha.niidffl' stood, would take six months.f'C£ll# field did not fee the ntiltfjrof tie^v i tiou., He objected to, passiae moticM that there , Was no . p^riMlHy^l carrying oat, and pointed,.

Secretary pro tern.: .lames Macfarlano. Thr New Zealand Iron and Steel Com pany, Limited, is organised to nranufaoture Bar and Pig Iron and Wire from tho iron sand doposita of tho West Coast, by monnß of the patents ownod by Messrs John Chambers and U. H. Gardnor. Tho practicability of those patonta having been .fully proved by tho works at present In operation at Onehunga, thcro romaln but two points to be considered—viz., tho oost of manu facturing and tho market for the product. THE COST. In estimating tho comparative coat of manU' facturing iron hero and in England there are three itoms to bo considered, viz : labocr. ooaL and raw material. The raw material Is almost a nominal coat to us. The coal wilt cost no-more here than In England, for it Is Intended to n»e only ga» tor all heating purposes in tho works, whioh can ra produced by means of goa generators from slack or any brown coal at a for lower cost than the came amount of heat can be obtained from burning coal. Labour is thon tho only Item which will cost moro hero than in England, and we have to considor what advantage we possess to counterbalance this greater cost. Thoso advantages consist (Ist) in situation, by which wo savo 10 per cent, on tho Homo cost which Is absorbod in commission, insurance, exchange and interoßt. and outward freight, as the freiuht from Auokland or Onolmnga to dif ferent pUcoa in tho Colony will be no more than tho charges in England In bringing tho iron from the mills by rail and cartago and BluppiDg charges in London; (2nd) in our process, by wblchwo savo cost of fettling (or wrought iron scrap*, which in puddling froiu pig has to be put into the furnace, and the oost of making tho pig and tho waste of tho sumo in puddling. This is a moat important item in our favour, and would bo alone sufficient to counterbalance tho greater coat of labour, for by the patents undor whioh this Company will work tho same result is obtained from iron sand as is obtained from pig iron, thus saving tho oxpenso of making tho pig. Tho diireronco in coat between big Iron in England, miitablo for making good bar iron, and iron sand at Onohunga being fully 35a per ton in our favour. If, then, wo take tho amount Of Ravine which we have by our process mid situation to counter balance the greator coat of wagos In this Colony,.wo have :— Ist —10 per cont. on tho Homo coat—say Ml.. W End-Saving in freight .. 25/ 3rd-Savingof fottlinff ... .. .. ..3/ Ith -Saving of cost ol making tho Dig .. 35/ sth—Saving of manufacturers profits .. 7/ The total cost of labour in manufactarlng pig iron into finished bars in Kmiland '8 undor 35s per ton, so that if the cost of lubonr hero is oven as high as 60s thero remains a largo margin of profit. It is estimated that tho total oost of tho Test tlnished bar iron at Unehunga will bo un dir £G per ton. Tlffi MARKET. The production of cheap iron opens ao large a field of industry that it is impossible to estimate tho futuro of this trade. It is an undoubted fact that bar iron oan bo mado from iron aandmore cheaply than from, any other ore. ! Tho supply of raw material Is unlimited, and New Zealand should becoruo one of tho largest Iron producing countries in tho world. The mnny brnnohos of manufacture, of Which cheap iron is tho prime essential, will no doubt spring Into life now that both iron and coal may bo obtained In New Zealand, and with tho Supply bo will tho demand increase. Tho amount of Iron imported into Australasia In 1882 was as follows :— , . Außtralia.Now Zealand. Tl. Tons. ' Tons. Bar Iron .. .. 44,500 9.250 53.J60 Fencing Wiro ..<O,OOO 9,600 19,500 Galvanised Iron.. 37,080 8.(00 45,080 Pig Iron ... .. 21,500 4,0 0 88.600 Plato Iron.. .. 9,250 1,000 10,250 Wiro Nails .. 6,760 2,750 9.800 Hoop Iron.. .. 3.760 850 4,000 Sheet Iron" ..3.500 600 4.103 i These figures do not include Tasmania or West Australia , I Tho present cost of South Staffordshire iron. which is universally ÜBed in these oolonlos, is (SI 103. f.0.b., London, costing dalivary'ln New Zealand about SO 10s, which Is one of the lowest prices for many yearn, owing to tha depression of the iron industries in Kngland. s Auckland iron at £8, f.0.b., would thus, keep but tho imported iron, and leave a largo profit to tho manufacturers. . It Is also proposed to manufacture the iron into * few articles which aro largely used, bucli ns fenoing standards, fish plates, railway spikes, &c, &0., on which a larger profit oan bo made. j Fencing standards cost In the South bland about £11 por ton, and aro used to the extent of over SOOO ions per annum, and In other lines large quantities oan bo sold at better profits than can be mado on bar Iron. . ■ Fencing wiro being protected by a duty of fll por ton, and by a large cost of importing, offers a profitable field of industry; and it la proposed to add this line to tho products of the Company as soon as tho above operations aro at work. Tho slag from the puddling furnaces, it it con tains a Bufilolently high percentage of iron, will bo smelted in an ordinary blast fUrnaoe, and run into pig iron, thus utilising all tho wasto products. , , Sydney and Melbourne will tako a large quantity of iron from us, as low freights are easily obtained to thoa6 colonies. ' It is expected that Now Zealand iron can bo Bent to England and tho United States at very Srofltablo prices, as the iron mado from sand In 10 United States by this procoss is found to be of so superior a quality for making high-priced stcol that tho whole of it is con sumed by that branch of industry, and tho price paid -would yield us a largo profit. India, Ch'na, Japan, and San Francisco open 'fields for exportation, which wo may shortly hopo to compete for, as our location is most favourable for them as a basis of supplies, and at curtain seasons of tho year freight oan bo had at a merely rate; and a speedy enlargement of tho works, as tho requirements of tho trade may demand, i 3 provided for in tho 28,000 unallotted shares. These shares, whon allotted, will bo oil'ored to tho stockholders at par in proportion to tho sharos hold. This Company will tako over the concessions obtained by Messrs Chambers and Gardner, consisting of 1000 acres of land, and four miles of foreshore on tho North Head and two milos of foreshoro on tho South Head of Manukau Harbour, and three miles of forcphoro at Tara naki, which -will supply all tho iron sand neces sary for many years to come. No other placo on tho west coast offers such facilities for cheap coal and ready transportation of tho finished product as Onohunga; as, from its location wo can ship from either tho Kaat or West Coasts, and from the North Head the sand oan be put into bargos at any state of the tide or weathor, without going outside tho Heads, and brought to our own wharf. These considerations make these concessions nartlcularly valuable, while the lease at Tara -1 naki will bo available for. tho manufacture of I charcoal iron, as a good quality of charcoal can bo obtained in that district at a reasonable price. The Now Zealand Government has offered a bonus of £1,000 for tho first 200 tons of wrought iron blooms,and an additional£l,OOOfor tho first 200 tons of pig iron, manufactured from iron sand, whioh this Company will secure. Tho patents owned by Messrs Chambers and Gardnor aro to essential to the manufacture of iron by the direct process, that it is impossible to manufacture iron from iron sand in payablo quantities without them, thus securing to the i Company a virtual monopoly. Of the first allotment of shares, Messrs Cham bers and Gardner will receive for their New Zealand patents 3,000 sharos paid-up to £4. and in futuro allotments of fharea up to 40,000 in all, 125 per cent, of such allotments paid up to £1. 9 000 shares are at present offered to the public, navable as follows :-10s on application, 10a on allotment, and 20s at intervals of 8, 6. and a months, the remaining 20s at an totorval of not less than three months after the last call, but it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to call up more than SA. per share. In view of the many advantages we possees a large and constantly growing market at our doors, and separated by so many miles from Its present base of supplies, a practically unlimited supply of iron sand, suitable coal at a low price close at hand, and the cheapness of our working —we have no hesitation in offering the shares of this Company as one of the Bafest and most profitable investments which has ever been bsforo the jiubl:c
