CITY COUNCIL.

Installation of His Worship tho Mayor,

The statutory annual mooting of the City Council was held at noon to-day. There were present: —His Worship the Mayor (in-the chair), Cra. Holland, Mackechnie, Upton, Connolly, Dignah, Cooper, Ai kin, Goldie, Waymouth, Burns, Morrison, Mase field, and Eidd.

The minutes of the last ordinary meeting having been coniirmed, His Worship read over the declaration, and having signed it, was duly installed as Mayor for a further term of office. He ex pressed pleasure that the manner in which he had performed the duties of his office had found acceptation with the rate payers. There were other duties than those at the Council board, but he would not refer to thoao in detail, or he might be sus pected of a desire to blow his own trumpet. So far aa the future was concerned, he would endeavour to carry out those duties to the boat of his ability, and would strive to give equal satisfaction. Referring to the annual reports submitted, His Worship drew attention to the excellence of the water supply, which he said stood seventh, bo far as purity waa concerned, of all known water supplies in the cities of the Old Country and tho colonies. He hoped that oxpenso and annoyance on ac count of the tramways was now at nn end, and regretted that the facilities for watering the streets wore not more complete. It was a pity that so great a delay had occurred in connection with the Art Gallery plans, but he hoped that the trouble was nearly over, and that when the holidays were through they would be able to call for tenders, and that when the tenders were received, they would be found to be within their- means. Or. Aickin's motion respectingdrainage was a step in the right direction. Tho survey of the Domain was now being, or was to bo, carried out by the Government staff under Mr Smith. There was nn urgont neces sity for a branch fire brigade station in the neighbourhood of Howe-street, in Karangahape. His Worship referred briefly to the items in tho departmental reports, an abstract of which appears on our fourth page, and then read tho follow ing list of works which had been authorised since tho report was read :—Stanley-street sewer, extension of main sewer, Karauga hape Gully drainage, Havolock-street, Wyn yard-street, extension salt-wator baths, works, Kybor Pass, Upper Symonda-stroet drainage, Patteson-strset works, Lower Hobson-Bti'cot culvort, Goorge-street works, College Hill. Total, £25,553. Anothor contract of £2,000 would bo let on Thurs day. In conclusion, His Worship asked them to join with him in giving a just meed of praise to tho officers of tho Council, with whom a wcrd of encouragement would go a long way to the discharge of duties. Thero was a feeling that the Building Inspoctor was not tho best man they could havo for the position, but tho other officers dosorved praise for their zeal and ability. Cr. Aickin congratulated His Worship on his re-election to the Mayoral chair. Ho considered tho ratepayers had acted wisely in this matter, and ho was sure that all tho Councillors) would agree with him whon ho Baid that tbo honour conferred upon His Worship was a well merited one. His Wor ship's administration had been characterised by clear-sighted ability, tempered with a great deal of common sense. They all knew that His Worship had given his time to. the performarico of his'dutics without stint, and that he had given morp time than his.predecessors had given or could have given tp the wprk. pis Worship thanked Cr. Aickin for his kind expression pf opinion, and tho meeting terminated. ■
