BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Tfflt weekly meeting of the above Board WM t e id this afternoon. Present—Messrs g Laisbley (chairman), J. M. Clark (Mayor), F. J. Mos?, D. G oldie, JR. Hobbo, D. H. McKenzio. Weekly MuKTiNfH.— The only business <et down on the order paper was Mr Darga vUle'snoticeof motiou providing foraobange back aeaia b°m weeklY to fortnightly meet ings, but the gentleman was not present to move it A discus-ion arose as to when any other member could move the proposi- Son without having direct authority from Mr Dargaville to do so.—Mr Goldie ex. creased sorpriss that the only business set down for transaction was the notice of motion. He assumed that they had come together for the purpose of transacting the regular weekly business, gad heconM not understand, therefore, why the notice of motion was the only thing upon the order paper.—The Chairman having ruled that any member might move Mr Dareaville's motion without authority, Mr Moss moved it.—At the invitation of the Chairman, the Secre tary stated that the sy-tem of weekly meetings meant that the tegular office work was to be done at high pressure, and therefore imperfectly. Mr Goldie was con yjneed tint it was preferable instead of fortnightly. By meeting weekly the busi ness would be more promptly despatched, sod the interests of education, both in the country and town, would be better served. Fortnifhtly meetings simply meant that the chairman was to perform the bulk of the work, tnd the'ordinary members be let off ea-ily, tat he was not content that this should be 10, They had courted the honour ot hold ing teats at the Board, and bad voluntarily accepted the duties thus entailed upon them; but it struck him that these same members wished to have the honour and at the same time to escape the wotk. He denied that the office (.work would hire to be done at high pressure It the meetings were held weekly, and in deed it had struck him forcibly more than once that the officers bad a good deal of ieiiore time on their hands. The office ex penses were greater than those of the utago Agio, and be thought it quite possible and fat more satisfactory to continue the weekly meetings. - Mr Hobbs cod wider ed that the svttem of weekly meetings had not received a fair trial, and for this reason he was prepared to vote against the motion.—Mr J. M. Clark ex pressed himself ia favour of fortnightly meetings on the ground that the work would then be more easily and satisfactorily I transacted. He also reminded Mr Goldie that be was not justified in inferring that any member wished to escapa his duties (imply because he favoured a return to the system of fortnightly meet ings.- Mr D. H. McKenzie said that although fortnightly meetings would better suit his convenience, yet, be lieving tbat the system of weekly meetings had not received a fair triune would oppose the motion.—The Cha'rmau said that his mind was inclined iv favour of the motiort, but that in accordance with Parliamen tary etiquette he would vote for matters (landing as they are. Mr Moss haying replied, the motion was put and negatived on the voices.

BTAHDING Obdbhs.—lt was agreed to print the Standing Orders passed at the but meeting. Ghafton Road —A letter was received from the Graf ton Road Committee declin ing the proposed appointment of Mr Geo. Healey, E.A., to tbe head-master ship of the school, vice Mr James Martin transferred to Tararu, and sug gesting the promotion of Mr Richard Thompson Talbot (assistant master) to the vacant post. Tbe Inspector also reported that Mr Talbot was un raited for the position of head matter, Apart from the question of fitness he had not been nearly so long in the Board's employ as Ml Healey, while the lat ter held a higher certificate than any other teacher on the staff.—The chair man remarked that tbia bronchi their principles of local s -lf-goverament affirmed only a month ago to a severe est. There was a distinct clashing between tbe opinions of tbe committee and the in spector, tke latter of whom held that Mr TalDot's appointment would be a severe blow to the interests of education. He mgijeated the postponement of the matter for a week, so tbat the Inspector might be present when it was con sidered. —Mr Eobb3 suggested that on that occasion Mr Healey'a credentials should be submitted, aDd his fitness shewn. —Mr Moss thought that as the present Committees had been carelessly elected in ignorance of the enlaiged powers . that were to be eiven them, every Committee which came into direct conflict with the Board should resign, so as lo afford its constituents an oppor tuoiy of making their minds known on the inqject at issue.— -he matter was then deterred till next Friday.

RESIDENT. MAGISTRAE'S COURT.— This Day.

(Before H. G. Seth Smith, Esq., E.M.)

Mi Frost v. Holmes.—Claim, £20, commission,—Mr Dufaur appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr S. Hesketh for the defen dant,-It seems tbat the defendant is pro prietor of the Arch Bill Hotel, and that about the beginning of the year he in structed plaintiff to find him a cash pur chaser for the hostelry before the sth of Hatch following, the amount required Wng £700, viz., £500 for goodwill, and ... £200 for stock and furniture. Plaintiff found a purchaser in the person of W. J. CooV, amtanrant-keeper, but he was only . Prepared to pay cash to the extent of £200. Before any agreement was come to, the ■liptdated time was past, and the dcfen . font declined to treat with Cook. 'J he , plaintiff, therefore, sought to recover commission as if the sale had been com pleted, contending that he could have tonnd Cook the balance of the purchase money, andthat,!at any rate, defendant was willing to accept Cook without any money passing between them at all, the condition only being that defendant's liabilities to Seccombe should be transferred to Cook, Mr Seccombe, however, stated in Court that he wou'd not on any accounthave con sented to such a transaction.—His Worship held that the plaintiff must fail, as the fundamental condition of the contract, viz., the finding of a cash purchaser before the sth ot March, had not been fulfilled.—The plaintiff, under the circumstances, elected to take a nonsuit, evidence for the defence "0t being taken.

(BY TBLEGRAPII — PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

WELLINGTON, this day. News is to band of a destructive firo at hivcrtot'. It broke out ibis morning in the stable attached to Morgan's and Haycfl Caledonian Hote1, and despite all efforts it spread from thence to the seuth end of the block, where its progresswasstopped. On tbe other side of tbia was Clapp's Commercial Hotel, which was at times in grc.it danger, but was saved by the application ot wet Mn ikets to the exposed surface. The County Council Offices uarrowly escaped, but being of bricks, the flames failed to gain a hold. The following bui.dings were des troyed :—Caledoma'n Hotel; Bacon, shoe maker ; Campbell's butchery; fattison's Globe Hotel; Scobie, draper; Han* cock, shoemaker j Willet, storekeeper; Ply and Buliieds, drapers.

(BY TELEGRAPH— OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

THAMES, this day. Hew Prince iMPEBiAL.-'Jhe reet in the west drive at No. 5 level beyond the break has again been broken down, and a few picked stones were obtained. The leading stope over this drive also yielded a few lbs. of stone on Wednesday. No, 1 and 2 reets at No. 4 level were broken down in the eastern drives yesterday, and a little stone was bagged from each place,

THE TOWN HALL SITE.

A EBPORT by the City Engineer upon the vatious properties available for the purposes of a Town Hall, Free Library, and Art Gallery, was read at the meeting of the City Council hist night. The following extracts contain; the Bubstance of it :—

"When the question of a site for the Towo Hall was at first considered by tbe Council, the triangle at the junction of Wellesley and Coburg-streets was tbe one 1 considered pusseaatd the most advantages, being the property of the citizens centrally situated, fronting a wide street in a great measure isolated, being bounded by three streets, and likely to be a quiet site, although immediately adjoining the main street of tbe city, Since then other considera tions have arisen. The site at junction of Grey-street, on the Iteserve, has been obtained for that purpose, and in all likeli hood a separate site will be required for a Free Library and Museum, for which the Wellesley-street triangle is equally suitable. What I consider objectionable in the Grfy street site is the proposed m* de of building upon it. My view of tbe Bite is, that the triangle should in a large measure, if apt altogether, be reserved as an open space in front of the building, and that all tbe open lttnd behind it should be purchased for the erection of the building, including of cour.-c the bote! and wood yard. By placing the building as far back as the hotel, a full story. 14 feet in height, could be had on the Grey-sueet frontage and level, below the level of Upper Queen, street. The proposition may be objection able on account of the expense, but it is very desirable, io as to furnish a suf ficient area for a Town Hall and Corpora tioo offices, with a respectable entraoce. 'I he Bite at junction ol Grey and Upper Queen-streets, if liberally dealt with, is an excellent position, also the cite corner of Uoburg and Wellesley-streets. The choice appears to lie between the abovenamod sites and Market endowment lots at Gee aad Potter's. I may state that the foundations of this site, also the triangle at opposite corner, especially the Grey-street front, would be expensive, the bui face to a large extent being made ground. Apart from endowment lands, I know of no better site for a public building than the one where the Roman Catholic school is built, at junction of Wellington and Pitt-streets. This body might be induced to exchange this site for one in the endowment lands in Ponsonby road which no doubt would become central for them when Surrey Hill estate is popu lated." Letters wera also received from Hancock and Co., and J. M. and J. Mowbray. The former notified that unless tbe Council came to a speedy settlement they intended to erect a new building (plans for which were now ready) on the cite of the Army and Navy Hotel; while Messrs Mowbray offered Mullally's allotment (fronting Grey itreet), for £1350. Some discussion ensued, in the course of which the balance of opinion seemed to be in favour of the Grey-street property. As the hour was late, however, and tho Mayor and several councillors absent, it was agreed to postpone the final consideration of the matter till Tuesday evening next

Thb Nbw Zealand Iron and Steel Com pany, Limited, is organised to manufacture Bar and Pig Iron and Wire from the iron sand deposits of the West Coast, by means of the patents owned by Messrs John Chambers and G. H. Gardner. The practicability of these patents having been .fully proved by the works at present in operation at Onohunga, there remain but two points to bs considered—viz., the ooat of manu facturing and the market for the product. THE COST. In estimating the comparative cost of manu facturing iron here and in England there are three items to be considered, viz : labour, coal, and raw material. The raw material Is almost a nominal cost to us. The coal 'will cost no more here than In England, for It is Intended to use only gas for all boating purposes in the works, which can be produced by means of gas generators from slack or any brown coal at a far lower cost than the same amount of heat can be obtained from burning coal. Labour is then the only item which will cost more here than in Kngland, and we have to consider what advantage we possess to counterbalance this greater cost. These advantages aonslst (Ist) in situation, by which wa save 10 per cent, on the Home cost which is absorbed In commission, insurance, exchange and interest, and outward freight, as the freight from Auckland or Onehunga to dif ferent places in the Colony will be no more than the charges in England In bringing the iron from the mills by rail and cartage and shipping charges in London; (2nd) in our process, by which we save cost of fettling (or wrought iron scrap), which in puddling from pig has to be put into the furnace, and the cost of making the pig and the waste of the same in puddling. This is a most Important item in our favour, and would bo alone bu( Helen t to counterbalance the greater cost of labour, for by the patents under which this Company will work the same result is obtained from iron sand as is obtained from pig iron, thus saving the expense of making the pig. The difference in cost netweon pig iron in England, suitable for making good bar iron, and iron sand at Onehunga being f uliy 35s per ton in our favour. If, then, we take the amount of saving which wo have by our process and situation to counter balance the greater cost of wages In this Colony awe have tr ial —10 per cent on the Homo cost—say £7.. 14/ 2nd—Saving in freight _ _ ~ ..25/ rd— Saving of fettling - 3/ th— Saving of cost of making the pig .. 35/ th— Saving of manufacturers profits . 7/ 84/ The total cost of labour in manufactaring pig iron into finished bars in England ;-a under 35s por ton; so that if the cost of labour here ia even as high as 60s there remains a large margin of profit. It ia estimated that the total cost of the best finished bar iron at Onohunga will be un der £0 por ton. ■mw MAJ.tu.&r. The production of cheap iron opens so large a field of industry that it is impossible to estimate the future of this trade. It is an undoubted fact that bar iron can be made from iron sand more cheaply than from any other are. The supply of raw material Is unlimited, and New Zealand should become one of the largest iron producing countries in the world. The many branches of manufacture, of which cheap iron is the prime essential, will no doubt spring into life now that both iron and coal may be obtained in New Zealand, and with the supply so will the demand increase. The amount of iron Imported into Australasia in 1882 was as follows :— Auatralla.Now Zealand. Tl. Tons. Tons, Bar Iron .. - 44,500 0.250 63.750 Fencing Wire .. 10,000 9.500 19.500 Galvanised Iron.. 37,080 B,'Oo 15.080 Pig Iron .. .. 24,500 4,0 0 28.500 Plate Iron.. .. 9,250 1,000 10,250 Wire Nails - 6,750 2,750 9.500 Hoop Iron.. « 3,750 850 4,600 Shoot Iron.. .. 3,500 600 4,108 These figures do not inolude Tasmania or West Australia. The present cost of South Staffordshire iron, which is universally used in these oolonies, is £7 10s, f.0.b., London, coating delivery in New Zealand about £9 10s, whioh is one of the lowest prices for many years, owing to the depression of the iron Industries In England. Auckland iron at £8, f.0.b., would thus keep out the imported iron, and leave a large profit to the manufacturers. It Is also proposed to manufacture the Iron into a few articles which are largely used, such as fencing standards, fish plates, railway spikes, &c, &c, on which a larger profit can be made. Fencing standards cost in the South Island about £11 per ton, and are used to the extent of over 8000 tons per annum, and in other lines large quantities can be sold at better profits than can be made on bar iron. Fencing wire being protected by a duty of £1 per ton, and by a large cost of importing, offers a profitable field of industry; and it is proposed to add this line to the products of the Company as soon as the above operations are at work. Tho slag from the puddling furnaces, if it con tains a sufficiently high percentage of Iron, will be smelted in an ordinary blast furnace, and run into pig iron, thus utilising all the waste products. Sydney and Melbourne will take a large quantity of iron from üb, as low freights are easily obtained to those colonies. It Is oxpecteil that New Zealand iron can be sent to England and the United States at very S rentable prices, as the iron made from sand in le United States by this process is found to he of so superior a quality for making high-priced steel that the whole of it is con- Bumcd by that branch of industry, and the price paid would yield us a large profit. India, Ch'na, Japan, and San Francisco open fields for exportation, which we may shortly hope to compete for, as our location is most favourable for them as a basis of supplies, and at certain seasons of the year freight can be had at a merely rate; and a speedy enlargement of the works, as the requirements of the trade may demand, 13 provided for in the 28,000 unallotted shares. These shares, when allotted, will be offered to the stockholders at par in proportion to the shares held. This Company will take over the concessions obtained by Messrs Chambers and Gardner, consisting of 1000 acres of land, and four miles of foreshore on the North Head and two miles ot foreshore on the South Head of Manukau Harbour, and three miles of foreshore at Tara naki, which will supply all the iron sand neces sary for many years to come. No other place on the west ooast offers such facilities for cheap ooal and ready transportation of the finished product as (Jnehunga; as, from its location we can ship from either the Kast or West Coasts, and from the North Head the sand oan be put into barges at any state of the tide or weather. without going outside the Heads, and brought to our own wharf. These considerations make these concessions nartloularly valuable, while the lease at Tara nalci will be available for the manufacture of charcoal iron, asa good quality of charcoal can be obtained in that district at a reasonable price. The New Zealand Government has offered a bonus of £1,000 for the first 200 tons ot wrought iron blooms,and an additional£l,OOOfor the first 200 tons of pig iron, manufactured from iron sand, which this Company will secure. The patents owned by Messrs Chambers and Gardner are so essential to the manufacture of iron by the direct process, that it is impossible to manufacture iron from iron sand in payable quantities without them, thus securing to the Company a virtual monopoly. Of the first allotment of shares, Messrs Cham bers and Gardner will receive for their New Zealand patents 3,000 shares paid-up to £4, and in future allotments of eharoa up to 40,000 in all, 25 per cent, of suoh allotments paid up to £1. 9,000 shares are at present offered to the public payable as follows:—10s on application, 10s on allotment, and 20s at intervals of 3, 6, and 9 months, the remaining 20s at an interval 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 £4 per share. In view of the many advantages we possess— 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 thin Company as one of the safest and most profitable investments whioh bos ever been before the public
