Masefield, Morrison, Garratt, Aickin, Goldio, Montague, Connelly, Dignan, Deyore, Crowther, Cooper, Holland, Upton, Burns, La Roche, Kidd, end Waymouth. Correspondence.—Letters were received as follows : — From Robert Nesbitt, of Cobden-street, Karangahapo, complaining that a city contractor had used a quantity of earth from his allotment for filling up a culvert. The City Engineer informed him that the contractor had acted correctly, but he was advised that the earth was his private property.—The Engineer reported ho claimed right to remove earth dry for filling the culvert: Reply in accordance to bo forwarded, Mr Nesbitt to bo informed that if any earth other than that mentioned had been removed it would bo replaced.— From J. H. Bath, forwarding circular re garding an automatic gas regulator, and asking that this apparatus be used in the City Council Chambers and Library. It was decided, on the motion of the Mayor, to purchase a gas regulator at a cost of £3 10s for the Free Library.— From the Secretary of tho Tramway Com pany, demurring to tho account (£122 10s) forwarded by the City Engineer as cost of damage dono to street crossings by tram way contractors. The Tramway Engineer considered that £14 15s was a fair amount. It looked as though the Engineer was de sirous of getting new crossings at the expense of the Tramway Company: Re ferred to Streets Committee.—From W. J. Dalton, re levels of Clarence-street, The alterations proposed a road right through his property, and a cutting of seven feet. He protested strongly. The Engineer's memo showed that the person who had taken the levels had been informed that Mr Dalton had fenced in a portion of the street, hence tho mis take, which would be corrected : Referred to Streets Committee. — From 'I'homas Tremain, asking for a licenso for a coffee stall, to stand in Customs-street East, near the Thames Hotel: Granted.-From W. Edgar, re drainage at rear of his property in West-street, Newton. The Engineer re ported that if the applicant continued the pipe through his property, the nuisance would be abated : Referred to Streets Com mittee.—From John Skerritt, stating that ho had received a rate notice for property in Brown street which did not belong to him : Consideration deferred, pending re ceipt of further information.—From Mrs Gilfillan, requesting that when tho cutting of Kyber Pass reached her property, that the bank bo sloped: Granted.—From D. Fort, stating that on his return from Eng land he was astonished to find Paget street filled up a wall nine feet high, blocking up hie property. He asked that, a means of access might be granted. The Engineer reported that a flight of steps would cost £7. Cr. Goldie stated that the wall was said to be giving signs of weakness : It was decided to erect the flight of steps.—From J. Hollo way, of Edinburgh-street, Newton, who said he had received notice to connect with the sewer within 14 days; but as the sewer was not yet laid he did not know how he was to comply with tiie notice. Ho thought that those more than 100 feet from the sewer should be compelled to drain as well as those within that distanco from the sewer. He was 110 feet from the sewer. Tho Engineer's memo, showed that the old form of notice had been issued to Mr Holloway by mistake. Tho current notico had since been issued : It was decided to refer tho matter to tho Engineor, to measure distance of writer's property from tho sower.— From F. G. Singleton, applying for per mission to erect a lamp: Permission granted on usual conditions. Streets Committee.— This Committee recommended as follows :—(1) Letter from Mrs Lombard ro Edwin-street: Tiiat reply bo sent that Council have done all they can do, the work of cutting having been done by a previous Board. (2) Potition from residents of Ryle and Fernley - streets re defective drainage : That work ber done at a cost of i'3o. (!i) Petition from Jno. Knox re furze, Shelly Beach Koad : That reply be sent that Engineer will bo instructed to do what is required. (4) Report from Waterworks Engineer re engine for stone-breaker: That a Baxter stone crushing machine, 24 x 12, as per specifications submitted be obtained ; tenders to be called for same (Mr Errington to prepare correct specifications). (5) .Letter from J. E. Gilbert re land, Baker streot: That the sum of £225 bo offered for the land required for the continua tion of Baker and Morton • streets. (6) Letter from Secretary New Zealand Timber Company, rehydrantCuatoms-street: That application be granted subject to the following conditions : That the night watch man be competent, and also the plant be to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Fire Brigade, and not to be used except in case of fire, the Company to bo liable for all damages and cost of repairs ; authority of night watchman to cease on the arrival of SuperintendentofFireßrigade. (7) Letter from W. F. Judson, re account scoria ash, Arthur-street: That application be declined. (8) Petition from residents of OHphant street, re water supply : Committee recom mended that effect be given to petition at a cost of £132. —The report was adopted. Dust Collection.'—The Streets Com mittee brought up a special report on dust collection. It recommended that the pre- j sent system be discontinued, and charges be made as for nightsoil.—Cr. Crowther, in moving the adoption of the report, said the Committee wished the matter discussed by the Council. The cost of the dust contract is something like £1,300 and would soon rise to £2,000 per annum, 100 streets being removed. Actually there was an applica tion from Rutland-street, in which there was only one resident. When the con tracts were first lot, only a few*streets were visited. Ho believed that in many of the streets the residents could do away with their own dust. The watering of the streets was also becoming a- serious item of ex penditure, and the Council should consider whether it was not now time that some charge should be made. — Cr. Cooper seconded the adoption of the re port. There were some streets not pro \'idod for in the dust contract that decidedly required visits from the dustman. In some parts of the city the rubbish could very well bs burned in the gardens.—Cr. Gar ratt moved as an amendment, "That the re port bo referred back to the Committee." There was no doubt but that tho matter of the dust collection required serious consid eration. He did not hold with the sweep ing charge proposed by the report of the Committee., It was said in the report that the dust contract be carried oa in connection with the dust contractor. The delay In many of the late contracts hasT been blamed to the small supply of carts at tho disposal of the Engineer. Now; if the cartage and dust contracts were amal gamated, the scarcity of carts would be in creased. He • suggested that dust depots should bo established. in gullios in tho various " suburban wards, and men told eff to cover up the rubbish as it was carted to the dep6f\ By this means the gullies would bo filled up in time, and the. rubbish disposed of.—Cr v Aickin seconded. He objected to the placing of another tax on the shoulders of the ratepayers. In Queen-street they were Eaying 2s in the £, and got nothing for it ut lighting and street repairs. Surely they were entitled to get their dust re moved without charge.—Cr.-Goldie thought that in the suburban wards the residents might dig the rubbish into the ground. The Council should either curtail tho num ber of steeots to be visited, or provide dep6ts within fchp city. He was glad to hear Cr. Aickin's remarks regarding taxation. A fresh loan was being talked of, and he trusted that when it took a practical shape Cr. Aickin would assist him in opposing it. —Cr. Masefield thought a fixed sum should be appropriate for dust collection annually, and then not exceed it. Ho thought dust collection should not exceed £800 or £1,000 per annum.—Cr. Waymouth said the rate payers were not sufficiently taxed. They should tell Mr Wade to value the city pro- I pertjes 25 per cent. more. That was the j way to get tho money. Let them ! mark hiss ipords, they would need to do it.—Cr. Cooper hoped tho Council would not send the matter back to the Committee again, as he felt sure they would not arrive at any other conclusion than that cofatained in the report.—Cr. Devore suggested that an annual charge of 5s or 6s per annum be made to all persons having tho ser vices of the dustman. Those who did not employ the dustman would be compelled to dispose of their rubbish by the Sanitary Inspector.—Cr. Upton thought that Cr. Devore's suggestion was the proper solution of the difficulty.-r-£r. Morrison said that in Karangahape there were as small yards as there were in the city, and ratepayers there had as much right to have their duet removed as had ratepayers in the city. —At this stage Cr. Crowther withdrew his motion for the adoption of the report, and the amendment was carried.

Art Gallery Plans.—The Mayor, in re plying to Cr. Waymouth, said that the Committee had not yet completed their, re port. Irvine's" Contract.— In reply to Cr, Garret*, the Engineer reported that 8,000 cubic yards bad been removed from Irvine's

contract, and of that 4,000 cubic yards had -been deposited in Newton Road gully, the remainder being deposited in Hopetoun street.

Edgecombe Estate.—The Mayor stated that when the fences had been placed in order the grazing on Edgecombe property would bo let.

Tenders.—Tenders for drainage of George-street were opened as follows — A. Archibald, £227 19s; E. Pascoe, £216 14s; Cleghorn, £324 15s 6d; W. Bolton and Co., £293 10s ; A. J. Laurie, £358 18a • W. Henks, £348; J. Wilson, £262 10s 9d! Engineer's estimate, £180. It was decided to accept Pascoe's tender. College Hill works: J. T. Knight, £4,257 3s] John Irwin, £3,597 Is 2d; Larkins and O'Brien £3,953 Is; E. Pascoe and Co., £3,567 16a Gd. Tho Engineer's estimate was £3,888. It was decided to accept Pascoe's tender. On the motion of the Mayor, both thesa works wore made a charge against the allo cation of the Ponsonby Ward.

Holidays.—lt was decided that the civil offices be closed on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of Christmas and New Year weeks. Postponement. —Cr. Mackeehnie being absent, his motion, No. 949, re'Library,was postponed. Drainage Works.—Cr. Aickin moved " That all drainage works on the list be declared urgent, and that the Engineer and Sanitary Inspector shall decide the order of urgency."—Cr. Goldie seconded,—Cr. Crowther pointed out that large earthworks required to be done in summer, while drainage works could be performed at any period of the year.—Cr. Waymouth would support the motion, in the sure and certain hope that the big drain in the Southward would be put first on the list.—The Mayor said he felt it his duty to point out that the motion would but put back works that ■would employ a number of hands during summer. . .-)

Lamp.—On the motion of Cr Crowther it was decided to erect a lamp in Short-street. Council Meetings.—On. the motion of Cr. Masefield it was decided'"that unless decided otherwise by vote the ordinary meetings of the Council shall close at 10 o'clock." . .

This was all the business,
