Grafton Ward.— Symonds street, L1.4G4 10s 3d; Seafield View Rond, L7GS: total, 2,232 10s 3d.— Copies of the following presentment or criti cism by Or. 'Waymouth upon the above re port had been circulated among Councillors, viz. :—Ponaonbj Koad contract No. 1 cost L-2.754 13s. The whole of this contract is bounded on its north side by the water works, the city endowment?, and tho Wes tern I'ark, witli the exception of a portion, the other half of which is charged to the I'onsonby Ward in the sum of LO2 fis lid. Now, if that portion of this contract forming tho southern boundary of the waterworks, city endowments, and Western Park, are charged to the South Ward, that ward has to pay road-making for two southern bound aries by reason of the city endowments, &c, happening to be situated in that ward, the paid two boundaries bein/j—first, Beres fovd stieet, and second, Tonsonby Road. This i? manifestly unjust. Again, suppos ing the endowments, &c, were declared to be in the Karangahapo Ward, South Ward would only have to pay half cost of works in Bcrcsford-fltreot, and the injustice would then bo inflicted on theKarangahapo Ward. The works inside the city endowments boundaries are very properly charged to the endowments, and I .suggest that tho bound ary streets of endowments should be placed on the same terms as other boundary streets, and be charged its half of the boundary road works. I therefore suggest that the South Ward bo charged only L'J2 Gs lid, and that the balance of L 1,511 Gs Id—namely, L 1.410 l'J.-s '2d -bo distributed to water works, endowments, and Western Park.— Karangahape Road, Hopetoun-street, and Jeivoy-street co.it L 4,249. For the reasons given above, this should be divided thus :— karangahape Ward, LGSG; city endow ments, L.'),, r>93.—Cr. Waymouth spoke in support of the above* statement, and then moved as an amendment upon clause 1 :— " That the amount allotted as tho share of South Ward be the same as tho share of the I'onsonby Ward, viz., L 92 (is lid, instead of L 1,511 Gs lid."—Cr. Crowther seconded the amendment, and in doing so, said that if Cr. Waymouth .succeeded in his proposals, East Ward could not be denied a releaso from cost of works in Mount-street. —Cr. Goldie supported tho amendment, lfe did not think that works in boundary roads were fairly chargeable to special ward, It was rightly a ohargo upon the wholo city. Upon tho question being put, tho amendment was rejected by 10 to 3.—Cr. Waymouth at once handed in his resignation, and left the Council.—The report was adopted. RESIGNATION'. —At this Btago the Mayor intimated that Cr. Waymouth had tendered his resignation consequent, doubtless, upon the rejection of his amendment. Ho bad accepted it and instructed the Town Clerk totake the necessary steps to fill the vacancy. —Cr. Crowther suggested the advisability of a little delay in the matter. Cr. Way mouth had been a useful member of tlio Council, and might be prevailed upon to reconsider his decision.—Cr. Garratt ob jected.—Cr. Waymouth was a man who fully considered tho course he pursuod, and would not be likely to recede.—Cr. La Roche was not sure that tho Mayor had im puted the right motlvo for tho resignation, as Cr. Waymoutli had told him some time ago that increasing business would compel him to withdraw Irom the Council. After some further discussion the Mayor's action was tacitly confirmed.

Milk Adulteration. —The Inspoctor under the Adulteration of Foods Act re ported that action was being taken against the vendors of milk whose samples were found by Mr l'ond to be adulterated. On tho Sth inst. ho had forwarded eleven more sampler to Mr Pond for analysis. Butchers' Shops.—The Inspector of Abattoirs reported that during the previous fortnight ho had inspected 27 butchers' shops, nnd had found everything satisfac tory.

City G.vs Lamps —Mr -Tamos Carlaw, jun., roporlcd that during the last quarter he had regularly visited the city gas lamps, and that he had found a decided improve ment in tho lights. The defective lamps which he had to report were 9 having bad burners, 23 having poor lights, 10 having panes brokon, and 4 being unlighted. Saxitaky Insi'KCTor,—This officer re ported that since tho Ist inst. he had at tended to GS complaints of nuisances, etc., issued li) notices to abate nuisances, etc., registered G dogs, bringing the total num ber up to 1,040, impounded 3 dogs and sold 7, laid three informations for breaches of tho by-lan, two of which were dismissed. No cases of infectious disease had been re ported. Ponsonhy Levels.—The question of fixing the levels of John, Oliphant, Clarence (to l'ompallier Terrace), and Summer streets (I'onsonby Ward) came up for con sideration.—Notices of objection were re ceived from Thomas Upton (to levels of Oliphant-atreet), Joseph Ramson (to levels of Summer-street), and John Rae (to levels of John-street). —The Council, howover, decided that tho levels should be fixed as advertised.

Charges Agaisst Ward Allocation.— After considerable discussion it was re folved, upon tho motion of Cr. Masefield, seconded by Cr. La Roche, " That in future tho charges against ward allocation for works shall be made at the time when the tenders are accepted by this Council, and the City Engineer shall supply the neces sary information as to the proportions chargeable."

Gully Drainage.—Cr. Garratt asked and obtained tho suspension of the Standing Orders for the purpose of moving, " That tenders be called at once for tho gully drain age works in connection with Karangabape Ward."—At this stage it was ascertained that the consent of interested property owners would have to be obtained, and the matter was therefore deferred.

Purchase of Houses.—lt was agreed that Mr Belcher should be requested to pur chase two horses for the Council for service with tho water-carts, or street-scrapers and brooms, ns might be required.

Anothkr Uesioxation.—Tho Mayor said that ho hoped example was not proving in fectious, but ho had to announce that Cr. Rattray had tendored his resignation, assigning aa a reason his proposed change of residence from the city to Mount Albert. He had only to accept the resigna tion, and to instruct the Town Clerk to take the nocessary steps to fill up the vacancy. Tho rough minutes were then read and tho Council rose.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Onouing of Museums, &c, on Sunday,

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —In your last evening's issue your cor respondent " C.W." enunciates somo very one-sided objections against tho opening of ait galleries and museums on Sunday. His first objection, "That i:i all tliesu places attendants would require to be kept ufc work, and thus the promotion of one mini's recreation would bo deprivation of his fellows' day of rest," shows, to my mind, that his reasoning is of a very narrow character. Supposing 1,000 persons visited on Sundays, does "CM." mean to aver that it would require 1,000 attendants to "work" the institu tion ? I think not. If 5,001 persons visited the musoum on Sunday, one man would be sufficient to do all that is required to be done. In Wellington, where the opening of the museum on Sundays has not only proved a great success, but supplied a want, the work of looking after the institu tion on that day.is divided between the Constabulary, and the duties are by no means a great tax on their physical energies. But why should mjnistoM of yehgipn object to tho opening of the Museum on Sundays f The Museum, I presume, would only be opened from about 1 o'clock till 5 o'clock, and conse quently would not interfere with either the morning or evening services. "C.W.V third objection, "That the class thought of —working! people who at present frequent • public-houses—aye not likoly to have any tasto for such p'aoes as museums, etc," I ino-st strongly object to. I, siy, tal;e my glass at tho public.house occasionally, but if I oould ail'ord it, I would take the aforesaid glass at home, and I flatter my self that 1 have a " taste for such places as museums, otc." Aye, and there are hundreds of others, who, like myself, the chance being only available, can admire and study the ennobling art of painting as keen perhaps as "C.W." himself, and receive more valuable instruction from that study than from the antiquated theological ethics of a dozen parsons. The fourth ob jection of "C.W.," that "people more or less indifferent to religion, who are yet in the habit of going to a place of worship, would be drawn away from it were such tempta. tions put in their way," I will pass over, merely observing that I have already met this objection in stating that by open? in,? tho Museum from the.above mentioned hours, it would not interfere with tho church services. Tho fifth' objection, "that almost every argument that favoura

Vthe opening of museums and gslleries favours also the opening of theatres and concert - room*," is really too abanrd. The Wellington Museum had been opon to the publitwap Sundays for over three ycfi"j>, and yet Iho theatres m>d con ncrfc roomn ."how no f-krn of doing business on Kimdny. iVMi.'es, if lliu Ilicatres ar.d concert rooms arc in full swinj; for .*ix nights of the week, surely that ought to satisfy the most inveterate frequenter of theatres. But "C.W." cannot see the distinction between the "amusemont" which a theatre gives and the "recreation" derived from a visit to the Museum on Sunday.—lam, etc., Traveller.

(To the Editor.)

Dear Sir.—Will you allow me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to suggest to Mr \V. Baker that if he takes the "graid old Bible," as he calls it, and reads the last vor.-'e of the liivt chapter, an.i the three nr.-*t verses of the second chapter of Generis, he will Fee what a blunder he has made in supposing that God used the seventh day to look at his work nnd pronounce i<; " good." He will find it clearly stated that it was the sixth day. I am confident, if many of those who desire to secularise the Sabbath had lived as I have, in a land where dancing saloons nnd drunkenness is tho order of the day, they would hesitate before taking any step to bring about such a state of things here. The police reports now and then reveal to us the element thac exists in our midst, and if onco let loose, there would be no telling the result.—l am, &c, Hykam Guay.

Dear Sir,—Bern? a firm non-beliover in patent or proprietary Medicines, my testimony may be of some value to you. Last week I suffered acutely from severe contraction of tho nerves ol the neck and shoulder. A friend laughingly BUjrsrestcd St. Jacobs Oil, and I invested In a bottle, rubbing it well in at nigl.t before retiring. The feeling of warmth and counter-irritation 1 experienced almost immediately was very strong ; and I am pleased to state that I awoka next morning with hardly any trace of pain. A second and less prolonged application cured ma completely. A bad chilblain on my ear was re moved with ono rubbing.
