Cr. Boardman seconded the Seeing that the revenue yielded by Karen. «hap. waa only two-.hirds «>"•«•* «onte.. buted by I'oQßonby, he thought Ll. Caere's proposal nothing more than bare '"cristeveoson pointed out the exceptional difficulty of forming and draining Karuuga "xhe Mayor thought that Karangahape was entitled to exccpiional consideration, for it was ieally i» a very backward state, and its cliainage had b:en neyltcted. He had th"UHtu that Pousonby deserved to be punished for the nua of its oldest reprenen. tative, Cr. Buardman, but on further reflec tion he had teen ttie injustice of punishing the whole of that wan! for the sins of its Councillor. Cr. Boardnian, in refeiotice to Hia Worship'a remarks about bin de.-crts, said he took them to mean that an eagle was to descend upon Ponsonby in the shape of ex tra taxation for his determination to apeak out fearlessly his opinious, He had yst toj leirn, howevor, that in any free assembly of Englishmen when one of the rep esentativea differed in opinion from the itsthewas to be punishedfor presuming to exercising thia freedom of speech in a (jentlcnianly fa-hiun. lie had never dis jruced himself by indulging iv personalities as some had done, thus seeking 10 turn the Courcil into a bear garden. He would be very sony to hurt ai>y Councillor's fecliopa. If Ponsonby, as thrciiteood, was to be punisbed tor the independent stand he had takeu, be it s», and hn felt sure that PoDsonby would duly pote the fact and take action accordingly. Cr. Dacre's amendment was then put and lost, only threo voting tor it. Vr. Bourdman thcu proposed, as an amendment, " That as the l'onsonby assoßsmeut is £33,000, its share of the loan be £28,000; ss Graftou'a assessment is about £13 000, its proportion bo £li!, 000; aiid as Karangaliape's a-ses-man; is £20,000, its proportion ho £20,000 ; the o',d City wards receiving £20,000 each." By this scale, he mid, Karan^abupe aail Grafton would receive pound fur pound of their assessment, while Pouaonby would receive £5,000 less than its asstHMuent. Cr. i aero seconded the amendment, which was lost. Cr. Aickin next proposed, as .in amend ment, '• That the allocatton be : £23,000 to Ponsoaby, £18,000 to Knranj;ahape, £14,000 to Orafton, and £20,000 each to the three old city wards." Cr. Devore seconded the amendment, which was t&en put, when nine voted for it and seven against it. it therefore became too substantive motion. Cr, Fleming moved aa an amendment upon It, "That the allocation as between the old city warfls be £26,000 for South Ward, and £17,000 each for North and East Wardf." The proposition was sionded by Cr. PhiMipp", but on being put was lost by 9 toC. Cr. Aickin's motion waa then carried. It WDB then finally rtsolved, that, as already piovided, the amount to be set apirt for !raiui n o and formation should be £120.000. On the motion of Cr. Thompson, the vote cf £50,000 for Town ball, Free Publio Libraiy, Art i-allcry, etc., waa cut down to £20,000, and ttie Mini set apart for waterworks purposos increased from £50,000 to £60,000.

TUe amount of the loan was then for mally fixed at £200,000. a schedule to bo appended to the act showing the allocation of the varions amounts, as fixed in com mittee.

Clause 4, " That the term ot payment be 50 years, and the rate of interest to be paid be 5 percent, per annum, wiih a sinking fond sufficient to meet the principal in 50 years,"—Carried.

ClaU'csu and G were adopedas amended, viz.: (5) 'That to meot m:cies o.i total indebtedness, a special ratu be authorised extending over the whole city not exceeding la 3d in the £." (6) " Hint the total lates leviable in the city of Auckland shall not exceed 2s OJd in the £, inclusive of Library rate,"

Clause 7, "That any sum to credit of Waterworks Hevenuo Account, at the half yearly balance, be available for the payment of interest on loan, aDd that any further deficiency be taken half-yearly out of General Account (from rents)."—lho Mayor moved the adoption of this clause.

Cr. Crowther seconded the motion. He considered that this was not the limo to reduce taxation.

Cr, Dacrc proposed, as an amendment, tbatiloauae 7 should be omitted. If the Act could not pass without such a guarantee, he did not think it should be pnt in to legalise the loan. Cr. Waddel seconded tho amendment, end Crs. Thompson, Aickin, and Board man spoke iv support of it. Cr. Board man, in the course ot bis remarks, stig matised tho Mayor's financing as radically wrong.

The amendment was carried.

Clauses, " That £100,000 may bo raised during 1884, and not exceeding £50,000 per annum during succeeding years." The Mayor moved the adoption of the clau°e.

Cr. Dacre moved, as an amendment, the insertion of the words ■' and that £25,003 be raised during each of tbe four succeeding years."

This proposition was seconded by Cr, Fleming, and carried.

Clause 9, " Proposed special i.ite over whole city to come into effect before June 1, 1884 " —The Mayor moved the adoption of the clause.

Cr. Devore moved, as an amendment, the addition of too words, " Provided that no ratepayer shall be liable to be rated at more than Is 3Jd in the £, unless the pro perty in respect of which he is rated is within 100 yards of a water main."

Or. Waddel seconded; but the Mayor rnled the amendment out of ord-r, as clause 5 provided for a uniform special rats of Is 3d. The amendment might be moved when the Council resumed.

Clause 11, '-Tbat the city members bo respectfully requested to take charge of and support the bill, and promote its passage through the legtstatarc,"—Carred. The Council then resumed, wbeu the Mayor moved and Mr Dacre seconded that the Committee's recommondations be adopted.

Cr. Devore then moved hie amendment. He thought it highly unjust to coll npon any ratepayers to pay tor a water supply that ibey had not got. Be felt sure that throughout the new wards tbis would b« the teat question with reference to the borrowing proposal., of the Council.

Cr. Wad del seconded,

Crs. Aickin, Garrett, Thompsoo, Steven son, Crowther, and Bums s^oke againrt the amendment, and Cr. Mackcchnle in favour of it.

The amendment was put and lost, only four voting for it

Cr. Devore then moved the addition of the ssme set of wotds to clause. 5. Be said tbat as Pontonby was to be punished for the alleged sins of one of Its Councillors, he supposed this determination to stick on the water rate was tbe means of in flicting tbe punishment, If so, the rate payers wonld have an opportunity of know ing precisely what wai intended. lne Mayor refused to accept the amend ment, saying that the words had been rejected and conld not be put again. it wbb decided, on the motion of Cr. Garrett, to tako a poll of the ratepayers on the general question of the loan. It was resolved, on the Mayor's motion, "That the Finance Committee be empowered to have the Loan Bill prepared and forwarded to Wellington as soon as possible."

After tbis motion waa passed, the Mayor pointed out that do provision had been made for iucreasing if ucoesßaty, the id library vote. He said, however, that the Council could review bill before sending it feu Wellington. Cr. Aickia moved, and it was agreed to, " That the Engineer report, so eocm as the fizlog of the levels will permit, upon a complete scheme of draniage for tbe whole city for consideration in parrying out tho drainage works under the proposed loan."
