Devore moved the reference of the mat ter to the Legal Committee, saying that in the meantime inquiries might be made among the leading shooting men as to what steps they intended taking.

Thompson presented petition from residents cf Victoria-street West, asking that thoroughfare be watered daily.—Referred to Streets Committee.

Streets Committee.—This Committee re. commended —1. That application for right of-way (re Hesketh and Richmond's letter) be granted on the usual conditions, viz., gate to be erected and maintained with frontage thereto ; lane or right-of-way to be asphalted. 2. That reply be sent to Mr Evans (re repairs of Ring Terrace) that the Foreman of Works has Deen instructed to make the necessary repairs. 3. That (re culvert, Dubljn-stroat) work be done in accordance with Engineer's report; that on the west, tho lower end, culvert be ex tended 20 feet further into applicant's ground (W. T. Moyes), and on the upper end, whore embankment is not so steep, it should be extended 10ft. 4, That, when the consent afproprietorsisobtained, tho cutting and tilling to permanent leTel be taken into consideration. 0. That (re Lower Union street) the Committee cannot recommend the prayer of the petition. 6. That report of Mr Errington (re casting mains) be re ferred to the Waterworks Engineer to report whether it is safe to lay the pips (pipes cast on the flat four inch), or that they should be received under protest, f. That the Engineer'o report (re surplus earth, Ponsonby Road), be adopted., and that the earth cutting on the east end of work bo deposited in <;ullie,s in Vermont street(late Grace-street) and Lincoln-atreet; and that a schedule of prices be included in tho tender for building these culverts in the gullies, and that surplus material at the west end of work bo utilised in raising Sheehan and Dignan-streets, behind the Ponsonby Hall, and the lower side of Prospect-street.— Cr. Harper, in moving the adoption of the report, suggested that the mains be tested as suggested by Messrs Porter and Co.—Cr. Burns said that the pipes had been tested, but the question referred to tho Committee was—was it safe to lay the pipes, they having been cast in tho Hat, instead of vertically ?—Cr. Devore urged that the Council should not accept any waiver of the contract.—The Mayor pointed out that the report committed the Council to nothing.— The report was adopted. Legal Committee.—Tho Committee re ported :—l. Supply of sundry small articles tor Lock Hospital. 2. That Mrs Bryce be informed that the Committee do not see their way to make any alteration in build ing, but are prepared to provide curtains for enclosing beds, 3, That the Town Clerk procure nqocssary farms, about 100 each, under the CD.

That tho Princes-street bell and one at the junction of Grey-street be retained ; that the bell opposite the station in Albert-street be erected at Ponsonby station ; that bell in Upper Symonds-street bo removed, and erected at tho station, Kyber Pass Reser voir.

The Complaint Against the Town Clerk. — The Legal Committee also re ported that they had passed the following resolution in regard to the complaint of Mr Garratt, which had beon referred to it by the Council:—"The Committee find that a letter addressed to Mr Garratt was delivered at the City Council letter-box on the 20th of June last, at the Post-office, endorsed by the Town Clerk ' not in offico, try work shop,' and put back again into the Post office box ; that the charge appears trivial, and the Committee regret that Councillor Garratt considered it necessary to bring for ward the matter by motion ;at the same time the Committee think the Town Clerk might have made more inquiries before dealing with the letter as he did. The delay of other letters appears to have been caused without any fault on the part of the Town Clerk. The letter addressed by H. S. Con nop, dated sth of September, the Com mittee think should have been read to the Council, and not disposed of by simply being submitted to His Worship the Mayor."—Cr. Garratt expressed regret that the report of the Committee bad been altered. This report had then stated that the " Town Clerk might have shown more courtesy and consideration to Cr. Garratt." Ho maintained that his charge against the Town Clerk had been sheeted home, though the Town Clerk exculpated himself by making the Mayor an accessory. —Cr. Thompson thought Connop's letter should have been laid before the Council.— On the request of Cr. Garratt, Connop's letter was produced.—lt appeared that the

resolution for leasing certain property had come before the Council and been disposed of by the Council. But there was an error in the lease (re Corporation v. Connop), and Mr Connop wrote to the effect that he would surrender his lease if lie got £40. Under the direction of the Mayor, the matter was referred to the Solicitor.—The Mayo- said, he bowed before the decision of the Council but he considered that the action taken had been in the interests of the Council,— Th e report was then adopted.

Fisaxce Committee.— The report of this Committee recommended (1) That a fixed arrangement (re charges referred to in letter of Mr Errington) with Mr Errington to pay him 2h per cent, in addition to his salaryfor all new works, including cost of material (2) That the application of Mrs Hamilton (re lease Howe-street) cannot be enter tained. (3) That three Commissioners be appointed, viz., the Mayor (for the time being) and two Councillors nominated by the Council (re Consolidated Loan Act) (4) Letter of Messrs Wilsons and Hortoii deferred, and that Messrs Wilsons and Horton be requested to attend the novt meeting ot the i inance Committee. (5) Buildings on all allotments in Grey and Albert-streets to be sold on the sth November, tenants to be allowed to occupy the same until the Ist of November Cr Crowther said there was only one account calling for comment, and that was one for £121 lls 10d, furniture fortheLock Hospital He thought that tenders should have been called for the supply of the furniture Cr Thompson said that the Council, on giving the Lock Hospital Committee power to act° had not contemplated that no tenders should be called.—The Mayor said that the Municipal Corporation Act prescribed that works of more than £20 should be tendered for, and the Town Clerk was not aware of any other instruction.—Cr. Crowther : But isn't the making of furniture a work?— The report was then adopted. Loan- Trustees.—The Mayor, Crs. Waddel and Fleming were appointed trustees under the Loan Act.

The Armoury.— Cr. Aickin asked if it was correct, as he had been informed, that tho Government intended to erect an armoury at a cost of £800, whereas they had charged the Council for the removal cf tie old armoury the sum of £1,500? ij appeared that they wished to make a profit out of the transaction.—Th» Mayor said that he had received no official commnnica tion from the Government regarding the armoury, but he learned unofficially that th« new armoury was to be erected next the police barracks, and not on the allotment given by the Council. He had heard £1 200 mentioned as the cost of the new building. —Cr. Aicken suggested that the Govern ment should be applied to to return the allotment which it appeared they did not require. Steam Roller.—The report of the Engi neer recommended the purchase of a steam roller.—Cr. Masefield moved that a 15-ton roller be ordered.—After a lengthy discus sion, an amendment, "That manufacturers should be invited to consider upon descrip. tion of the streets as to grades being sub mitted to them, whether the employment roller of 15 tons were practicable, and if they thought not, that they shoud send out a machine suitable to the gradients of tho streets, &c.(guaranteed)," by Cr Thompson, was carried.

Library Catalogue.—lt was decided to authorise the Library Committee to get the catalogue of the Library printed. Road Metal.—lt was resolved, on the motion of Cr. Thompson, " That the Engi neer be instructed to report at as early a date as possible as to the probable quantity of broken metal likely to be required for city purposes during the next year, and the best mode of providing it; also, as to depots for storage of same in the several wards of the city." Fire Brigade. — Cr. Stevenson moved for a return showing the cost of the Fire Brigade during the preceding twelve months, to include the cost of new material now ordered or work authorised to present date.—During the discussion that ensued it wa3 stated that the cost to the Council for the current year had been £I,ooo.—Motion carried.

Presentation.— Mr S. Brooking pre sented to the Library two copies of s rare work, " Nicholas's Visit to New Zealand ia 1514."

This concluded the business,

CORRESPONDENCE.

Damp Walls in Brick Buildings.

(To the Editor.)

Sm,—Since I pointed out in your cohmm. the reasons that, in my opinion, eaviwWSi" many brick walls here to be mere shams » • far as keeping out damp is concerned, 9 have seen two or three communications to you on the sublet. The first two, being merely the "your another" style of argu ment, I passed by as not requiring any answer, but the other one, which I read in to-night's Star, from Mr Hunter, deserves a reply. Firstly, he disputes my assertion that I have seen 9in. and 4iin, walls damp-proof at Home.and doubts whether ihin. outer walk are ever built there. I can only reassert that I have frequently seen, both in London and Liverpool, 4sin. and 9in. walla perfectly dry—and outside walls too. It is very common for two-story buildings to be built in 14in. and 9in. work, and the gallia in 4§in. work; or at least it was so when I was In England. Mr Hunter then says London "stocks" ar« of a different character and material to the bricks made here, and I thoroughly agree with him, for it is just what I said in my first letter to you. Regarding hb inquiry about the superior country bricks I spoke about, I would ask him to take one of the bricks that come from Riverhead and lay one from and of the town yards alongside of it. He will find the first one hard, heavy, and compact, and, when brozen, shewing a clear, homogeneous interior; while the other one will be soft, and full of little cracks and flaws, which let the damp into the interior of the brick, from whence it soaks through the wall into the inside. It is a notorious fact that most Auckland architects absolutely refuse to receive bricks from on« of the principal to «i yards, on account of their habft of crumbling away into holes on the outsides of the buildings because the clay is only half puddled and half burnt. While on the subject of bricks, I will ask your readers to go and look at the bricks of the Supreme Court, and the Post-office, Shortland-street. Are they not good ? Are not the walls dry ? Is not the workmanship first-class ? Well, those bricks were made here,at the Whau, by Dr. Aickin, and were put together by Auckland ■workmen. Do we ever see brickß or work manship here nowadays that can hold a candle to those buildings ? With regard to the work, I would ask Mr Hunter, as a practical workman, would not the walls be far superior if, instead of grouting, the bricks were properly bedded in mortar all round ? I would also ask him, is it not the usual practice here justto scrape the trowel on the edge of the brick and then stick it against the one already laid, with often only a quarter of an inch of mortar between the weather and the middle of the wall 1 If, instead of that small dab, the workman would spread full three inches or mortar on the side of the brick (from the outsideedge), would it not resist the passage of damp better than a quarter of an mc'ljT especially when ground mortar is used, which, when set, is damp-proof. I hay« no desire to disparage the bricklayers of Auck land, but I do desire to disparage the vicious system of tendering that compels employed to cut things so fine that thoy are compelled to compel their workmen to lay more bricks per day than they can properly lay if damp proof walls are wanted, I am glad Mr Hunter agrees with me in w-hat I said re clerk of works. It shows he is not afraid of his work being inspected; but it would not suit some of his employers here : and I thoroughly endorse his remarks respecting tenders and tendering. , In conclusion, I would point out torn Hunter that I am helping his trade in my remarks ; for \f it gets to be the general impression that brick walls cannot be made damp-proof, then the public will simply cease to use brick, and would build m con crete, which is also cheaper. Would no* that do more harm to the trade than a tem perate discussion about the causes "» render brick walls so pervious to a^ here with a view of devising a remedy- My remedy is: Ist, " Bed the bncM m mortar on their sides as well M'tfieff bottoms, and only depend on grouting iw the inside packing;" and 2nd, "Absolutely refuso to take the half-burnt, ha^P o*"**0*"** bricks that are so plentiful now. ->■tßh CO-MMES-SE^' -
