CITY COUNCIL.

. —♦ Ordinary Business Meeting. ' The weekly meeting of the City Council was held last evening, there being presont: . Councillors Waddell (in the chair), Mase- * field, Burns, La Roche, Fleming, Harper, ; Montague, Aickin, Thompson. Crowther, Dovorc, Phillipps, Field, Mackechnie, Stevenson. Stone - crushing Machine, — John T, Knight wrote offering to negotiate for the use of this machine, which he said was now at Mount Eden, and was out of repair, making it unfit for use.—Referred to the Streets Committee. Canada - street. — John Townshend Harper complained of the damage being done to his allotment at the corner of Canada and Pitt-streets. It had been flooded all the winter, and now the water was finding its way under the pipes in the main road, while tho kerbing had sunk several inches, allowing the water to flow over the footpath into his allotment.—The Engineer reported that the Clerk of Works had been instructed to mako the necessary repairs.—Agreed that an answer be for warded accordingly. Emily Place Works.—J. C. Firth wrote as follows :—ln thanking you for your in formation re amount of earth available for removal from Emily Place, I have the honour to inform you,on behalf of this com pany, that they will, in conjunction with the Harbour Board, be prepared to remove 240,000 cubic yards of earth from Emily Place.—The letter was referred to the Engineer. _\rn:iiTsoiL Contract.—A. K. Taylor com plained of the nuisance caused in Mount Albert Road District by tbo nightsoil from Auckland boing carted about four miles through the district, and deposited just on tho boundary out side at daybreak, and often as late as 10 a.m.—Tho writer also pointed out the cruolty to which the horses employed in the contract wero subjected, and said that after travelling seven miles they were only able to move a few yards at a time, and then only under the whips and frightful yells of the drivers. On one or two occa sions the loaded carts had been left at the roadside all day, to the annoyance of resi dents and passers-by.—lt was agreed that the letter be acknowledged, and that Mr Taylor be informed that a copy will be sent to the contractor, but that the jnatter is beyond the control of the Council. Removal of Rubbish.—T. B. Hannaford complained of the neglect of the contractor for the removal of rubbish in refusing to takeaway stuff placed outside his premises. —The Inspector reported that there was no effectual remedy so long as the present contract continues, but he recommended that in future contracts there be provision that no barrels be used, and that only boxes coataining three cubic feet be used.—The matter was referred to the Streets Com mittee, with the object of having more stringent conditions drawn up for the new contract. Skafield View.—A petition was received from residents in this street protesting against the intention of the Council to raise the street a foot higher, and stating that the work would seriously lessen the value of and damage their proporty.—The levels as advertised were subsequently agreed to. Proposed Street.—A petition was re ceived from a number of residents in the vicinity of Napier and Union-streets, ob jecting to the proposed new street, and pointing out that Napier-street could more easily be connected with Union-street and Patteson-street by continuing Willow street. At present, they said, only one al lotment separated Willow-street from the three main roads mentioned, and they re commended that this be secured.—Referred to Streets Committee. Finance Committee,—-This Committee recommended : — (1) Letter from J. C. Smith re extension of Hase in Grey-street: That same be granted (viz., until December), and the others allowed to remain, subject to one month's notice to quit. (2) Letter from Vaile and Douglas re Mills's lease, Howe street: That application be granted, pay able in January.—The report was adopted without amendment. Legal Committee.—Recommended:—(l) Letter from Secretary to Harbour Board re extension of main sewer: Doferrcd—Engi neer to give a sketch plan of extension and rough estimate of cost. (2) Ro furnishing of Lock Hospital: That an additional sum of IT) be authorised for furnishing servants' room. (3) Memo, from Treasurer re balances : Committco aro of opinion that it is illegal to transfer the money in manner proposed. (4) Letter from J. M. Alexander re Lylc's claim : Deferred for further infor mation. (">) Legal Committee's Report No. 9,000 ro tender for books: Deferred for further information. (0) Letter from W. Flood re right-of-way : Deferred for further information.—The report was adopted without amendment. Streets Committee.—This Connnitteo recommended :—(1) Ro Building Surveyor .- That tho Building Surveyor has committed an error of judgment in approving of plans which were contrary to tho special by-law in forco in connection with building now boing erected for one George Foster in Rutland-street ; also that, owing to the pressure of business, many minor breaches of the regulations havo occurred of late. (2) Letter from F. Chorry ro ventilator In Tompcranoe Hall: That tho recommendation of the Building Surveyor (viz., that another ventilator is required) bo. adopted. (3) Letter from R. Nesbitt ro damage Dublin-street works: That a reply be sent in accordance with Engineer's roport, viz., that necessary re pairs will bo made as required. (4) Sanitary Inspector's roport ro urinal, N.Z. Insurance Co.'s promises : That the roport of tho Engineor be adopted, viz., that the present one be put in repair. (5) Petition from residents in Burleigh-street, asking that the Engineer's plan re cutting down of said street bo carried out, and that the petitioners bo informed that tho levels have been advertised. (6) Petition from residents of Howe-street ro dust cart: That the petitioners be informed that Howe-street will bo considered in the now contract at the end of the year. (7) Letter from W. Errington re extra valves, (20) That tho valves bo ordered at once. (8) Letter from Mason and Glanfield re re pairs to cottages in Wyndham - street: Committee do not recommend a permit being granted for house No. 3. (9) Letter from H. Gilflllanre Choral Hall: Deferred. (10) Petition of ratepayers of Ponsonby : Deferred.— Clause 1 gave rise to consider able discussion, during which tho action of tho Surveyor was warmly criticised. The clause was eventually adopted with the fol lowing addition, moved by Cr. Thompson, " And that in future should the Building Inspector find that pressure of business is interfering with tho due performance of his duties, ho shall at once report the same to tho Council."—On tho motion of Cr. Mackechnie, it was also agreed that tho Engineer should report in writing on the strength of tho building at tho next meet ing.—Tho roport was adopted initsamondod form. Lkvels.—Cr. Montaguo inquired from tho City Engineer when the lovols of Karangahape Road and Symonds-street, two sections, would bo ready.—The Sur veyor replied that the levels were ready, but tho Council was waiting for somo pre liminary information concerning the straightening of Symonds-street from Mount-street to Wakefield-street. They would also have to decide regarding the wall at Sinclair's property. Roofing Pathway.—Cr. La Roche asked tho Town Clerk if a permit had been granted for roofing the pathway opposite tho Bank of Now Zealand with ono-inch boards instead of two-inch planks.—Tho Town Clork could not give the required in formation.—Cr. La Roche drow attention to the dangerous insecurity of tho roofing, and it was agreed that the attention of tho Building Surveyor bo called to the matter. A'ictoria Arcade. —Cr. La Roche in quired by whoso authority the pathway was occupied opposite the proposed Victoria Arcado, when tho permission appliod for had been deferred by the Council.—lt was explained that the contractor required unusual concessions owing to tho danger of tho footpath falling in ; temporary conces sions hail therefore boon mado pending the action of the Council.—A letter was read from Mr Jenkinson asking to be allowed to fenco off 10 feet from tho kovb in Queen street, and 7 feet in Shortland-street and Fort-street. —Referred to tho Streets Com mittco.—Cr. Thompson drew attention to tho fact that tho contractor was actually ; asking for 15 feet in Queen-street. Ciiiitino Stones. — Cr. Devore drew at- ' tention to the clangorous practice prevailing ' amongst building contractors of chipping stonGS in unenclosed places on the public htreets, and asked if there was nothing in the | permits to prohibit such a practice. In one , of the public streets last Friday, ho said, i one of these pieces of Milestone struck a child on tho face and drew blood.—lt was stated that there was no regulation to prevent the chipping, but that it should be j done in an enclosed place. The question of taking steps to prevent the practice was referred to tho Engineer for his report. • Metal.—The Engineer reported that the | metal hitherto used for repairs in city in winter ranged from 4,000 to 6,000 cubic yards, but the addition of new wards would

_—___, « require about 4,000 yard. more. The road contracts already let this season would re quire 10,000 cubic yards, and if Symonc's. street, from Wellesley-street to Mount Eden Road, and Kybcr Pass to the bridge, is done this season, about 9,000 yards more would be required. Difficulty, he believed, would be experienced in getting this quantity. There are three stone-crushing machines at the Gaol, but they are not fitted up ' He had made inquiries whether tho Government would sell or lend one, but it would not Ho thought provision should be made by the Council for obtaining broken metal by machinery. Their own engine could bo put into order for about £40. He recom mended a Blake's patent cube crusher — Referred to the Streets Committee Wynyard-street. - The Engineer _o ported that great difficulty was experienced in obtaining sufficient earth to make up the embankment in Wynyard-street. He recommended that tho necessary cuttinss bo made between Grafton Road and embankment, and that the earth ob tamed from this source be used in fill.Z up the low ground on west side of embank ment, making provision for draining the same into the main to be laid between Graf ton Road and Alten Road, kcrbinc, c i, an ! nelling, and metalling through the^cnttinc at both ends, and leaving the raising and widening of tho embankment until earth is available. The drainage and completion of the road as far as tho embankment and a low level east side to Alten Road, which was the most important part of the work would be done. As Havelock-strcet could not be taken out to permanent levels until Symonds-street is cut, and the high bank on west side of Wynyard-street should not be touched till Havelock-strect is cut, this was the best way of doing tho work — Agreed that tho Engineer be authorised'to carry out the work in accordance with re port. Foresters' Hall.—At the request of the Engineer, tho question of interpreting the meaning of tho building regulations in relation to the walls of tho Foresters' Hall in Karangahape Road was referred to the Streets Committee. Grafton Levels,—Objections wero re ceived to the levels of Arawa-street, Sea field Road, Carlton Gore, and Park lload from Albert Eaton, Smith, Staines, and Mc- Ewin.—The levels were fixed as advertised Sanitary Inspector.—Cr. Aickin moved' in accordance with previous notice, " That the Sanitary Inspector report as to tho pre sent method of nuisance inspection, and as to whether it meets the provision of thes7ih section of the Public Health Act, and also make a recommendation as to more systematic inspection throughout the city if necessary."—The motion was seconded and agreed to. This concluded the business.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Surrey Hills -Mate. (To the Editor.) Sir, —I am sure there is an almost universal feeling of regret at the result of the meeting of the City Council called on Tuesday to consider the question of obtaining this property for a public park. And not only is there _ a feeling of regret, but also a feel ing of disappointment, that our represents tives have not shown themselves equal to the occasion. The reason adduced for doing nothing, viz., that no proposal had been received from the owners of the |pro party, seems a vory weak ono, for, as your contemporary points out in Wednesday's issue, "where there is a will, there is generally a way." The fact also of the meet ing being held with closed doors raises a sus- ' picion of back-stairs influence, amenability to which would not willingly be credited of the representatives of the City of Auck land. To my mind this question of the Surrey Hills Estate is one of the most im portant, if not the most important, that has < been under discussion for years. Certainly it is of vastly more importance than tie matters that usually occupy the attention of our City Councillors, and it was expected of them that they would have devoted their ' best energies to carry out what is, I may say, the universal desire of the people of Auckland. Even now it is not too late to repair the mistake. Comparatively few al lotmentshave beensold,and theseonlyon the outer frontages of the estate. The centre is still untouched, and may yet bo secured for the benefit of tho people of Auckland if our City Councillors will give their best efforts to carry out what they cannot but know to be the wish of tho people they represent.—l am, &c, H. T. Edder. ♦ ~ .

Cruelty to Animals.-A Word for the Carters.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—The other day a rev. gentleman ac costed mo with the remark, "I should have liked to havo seen you at our meeting for * the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." Now, I certainly sympathise in that direc tion, and would suggest an extension of tho scope of tho Society which has been founded, dropping tho two last words of the name, when it would read, "The Sooiety for the Prevention of Cruelty." Nevertheless, there is something to be said for tho carters. If their employers work " unbroken, worn-out, or gibbing horses ; if the vehicles aro loaded with as much as the animals can draw on the level; and if the drivers must hurry, hurry, to get through as much work as will satisfy tho employers, there must be some whip lash expended towards the end of the journey or when a hill is faced. I have seen more than once in Queen-street, and below Grey-street junction, carters fairly bailed-up and humbugged through over loaded or unwilling horses. The carters have had to try and try, get a fresh horse, and even unload, and what was perhaps the worst, anticipate a blowing up from the boss for being so long over the trip. When such things happen out of town tho animals have tho whip, but that is risky in Queen street. Why not pass a law prohibiting , drivers from carrying whips ? If whips are carried, it is to inflict: punishment, and how is the line to be drawn between punishment ' and cruelty? Is it to bo drawn by tho feelings of the tender-hearted lady who is passing, or by tho judgment and feelings ' (and who is interested in getting through his work) of the carter who is driving ? I have milked cows, and can tell you, sir that when you have got a nice bucket of milk between your knees, and you and bucket are kicked over amongst the slush, it requires a nicely-balanced temper to re frain from giving that cow the stick, Yet : I think all punishment cruelty, and all anger irrational, and that if our conceptions of man and things were based on rational principles, a carter would no more think of flogging his horso than a railway driver would of flogging his locomotive. How can we expect to escape from witnessing acts and scenes of cruelty. We have been trained in cruelty in our daily lives, flogged when as children we accidentally broke a jug or tore our clothes. In our schools the rod is a venerated institution. \\o read our Bibles and con ovor the cruelties of the Israelites upon the Canaanites at the command of the Hebrew God. We read our Testaments and learn how unbelievers are to bo tormented in eternal fire. We read history and find how the old Church and the reformed churches, as they are called, imprisoned, tortured, burnt, and slew for unbelief. Even at this moment there are three men in London goals for unbelief. These aro all cruelties, and the general opinion of socioty pro nounces theso cruelties correct, and socioty which believes that God consigns millions of His creatures to the fires of an oternal hell, proceeds against a poor carter for flogging his horse. Can absurdity go further? Ah, clergymen, you havo a deal of refuse to sweep from your own doors beforo you clean up tho carters'. If you cannot put intellect into tho religion you preach, put at least humanity into it, Mr G. A. Brown deserves gratitude for his endeavours to disabuse our minds of the be lief in that foul horror, hell, and though, m the opinion of many, ho may not bo borne out by Scripture, ho is borno out by human sympathy, a more enduring corrobo ration. _ , A, Camvbell.
