PROPOSAL TO FORM DEVON PORT INTO A BOROUGH.

A pubwo meeting, convened by advertise meut, for the purpose of considering the advisability of fornrng tbe Devonport High way District into a borougb, was held at the Devonport Hall lait evening. Mr R. M. Stark, Chaumau of the District Boatd, picsided, and there were abont 150 peisons present. The Chairman having read the rcquidiion, referred to the meeting held at the Masonic Hotel on Monday morning, stating statements made at that meet ing, which he wished to correct, A^great many people bad bought property on the Melrose estate, and had built houses of it. Where those people not to have roads ? He had spent about £12,C00 on the district, and had acquired property in nearly every street, to that the construction of any road would improie his property. Kefeir.og to the statement that the district was in a fossilised condition, he mentioned that during the pa it year 65 houses had been erected, »nd asked could the district be called fossilised in the foce of that. Although the Kcad Board system w?s economical, be was in favour of any system of local government that would promote the interests ef tje district. In reply to Mr Symonds, the chairman eaid that were the district formed into a borough it wou'd be out of tbe hands of the County Council, but he questioned whether that would compensate for the ex penditure on a office, Town Clerk, etc. The office expenditure of Parnell last year was £216-half the rates of tbe district. A water supply was wanted. That would be a very good thing; but in the first pUco they had to consider how much it was going to cot to bring the water from the Lake— £8,000, £10,000, £15,000, or what? And then where were they going to get the money from? and how they were goiDg to pay the interest. They could not pay it out of the rates, as the amount of rates was not sufficiently large, The roads would t>ave to be kept in order b; sides. It meant an increase of taxation. As it would fall very heavily upon him he was opposed to the proposal, working men were going to leave Ponsonby to settle at the North (shore to escape the j extra taxation imposed on them by Pon- f sou by joining the city. The formation of Devonport into a Borough would turn away that lode of the working clase3. He did not think the time was ripe for the forma-, tion of the district in.o a Borough,— Mr O. Mays moved, " That it Is desirable to foim the Devonport Highway District in o a boiough under the Municipal Cor porations Act He was of opinion that the Koad Board system no longer met their requirements. Tne principal defect of the system was the limited number of per son* who conducted tbe business of tbe Board. He maintained that the Cor- Corporaticns Act vat less cumbrous than the Highway Districts Act. By adopting the Municipal Corporat;ons Act they would get rid of ontside interference, and wonld be entitled to an endowment, and would re ceive many tees which they did not at present. As to the extra expenditure, every system was liable to abase. With the | exception of that of Town Clerk, he thought all the other offices should be honorary. Tbe whole expenditure need cot exceed £75 per annum. Mr 6, If. Brassey secondt d Mr Jj,dson in proposing an amendment, " That Devonport be formed into a Town District," recapitulated his remarks made at the meeting on Monday. He said they could not work the M unicipal Act at much less than the Parneil people. The cost of working tbe Town Districts Act would be veiy lictle more than the Highway Districts j>cr.—Kir W. H. Brown seconded.—The an endment was put and lost.—Mr Jervis moved a further amendment, "That the fuitber consideration of alteration of the Highway Board system be de ferred till this day four years."— Mr Patterson seconded.—This was also lost.—Mr Brown then moved, "Thatthe meeting appoint a committee of gentlemen to obtain information with reference to the Municipal 'Corporations Act, the 'lown Distiicts Act, and the new Koad Boards Act, and report to a meeting of ratepayers, to be held this day month."—Mr Edson seconded, but this amendment shared the fate of its predecessors, snd the resolution wrs couied,

EIGHT HOUR DEMONSTRA TION.

The general committee meeting of the above movement was held last eteruig in the Worl'ing Mens' Club, Mr Hsslop, President, in the chair. Tfce minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted, The Artillery Band having withdrawn from their offer to play at the Demonstration, the tender oE the Railway Band was accepted. It was resolved that delegates from trades not now represented be accepted up to the 28tb, if appointed by a meeting specially called for that pmpose. The following ad> ditionpl prizes were' reported :—Mr Dennes, sewing macMne s Mr Petty, gold scarf ring; Mr Ayers, gold chain j Mr Greershlelds, pair silk wove ornate suspenders ; and several money donations. The trophies allotted to the different events can be seen in the shop window of Mr Macky, tobacconist, with the exception of a few which cannot be continually exhibited in a shop window. Resolved that the action of the Sports Committee, in apportioning money prizes and trophies to the different event?, be adopted. It was thought advisable to appoint additional judges, as the sports promise to be a great success. It was resolved that Mes«rs J. J. Holland and W. Guird be asked to act as judges. Resolved that the Sports Pro gramme be advertised in Wednesday and Saturday's STAR and "Herald" and next week's "Observer." It was decided to ac cept tbe tender for erecting the obstacles in the Obstacle Eace. It was resolved that the Committee be furnished with dis tinguishing rosettes, and that family tickets be issued. Tbe tecretary was instructed to procure eight hurdles for the Hurdle Kace. Kesolved that tbe Sports Committee meet on Monday, at 7.30 p.m., to make final arrangements. The meeting adjourned, to meet again on Wednesday, 24th inrt., at 7.30 p.m.
