HARBOUR BOARD.

Re-Consideration of Dock Engineer

Question Negatived.

The principal business at the Harbour Board meeting yesterday afternoon was the discussfon on Mr J. M. Clark's motion for rc-considoring Mr Ellington's appointment as Dock Engineer. As the question was only being opened when we went to press, tee debato was too late for our last issue. A full abstract is now subjoined : —

Pursuant to notice Mr Clark moved :— "That the resolution appointing the Engineer for the Calliope Dock, passed at the special meeting of the Board held on the 21st ultimo, be now rescinded, with ' the view of considering the applications for that appointment." Ho baid that this action had caused him great uneasiness and pain. He had under taken it with reluctanco, and entirely from a sense of duty. He had been associated in public life with Mr Brrington for many years, and, whatever opinion he had formed of his engineering abilities, he had always been on terms of the utmost friendliness with him. He asked tho Board simply on the ground of justice to reconsider their de cision with regard to the appointment of a dock engineer, inasmuch as the applications had not received fair consideration so far. That day they had ippointed a cadet for the office, after hearing the report of a committeo on the 25 candidates [A Voice: 16] and their testimonials, and taking a ballot upon the three who had been recommended. In that case the Board had taken every care to appoint the best candidate to the position ; but no such care was evinced at the appoint ment of an engineer to supervise the con struction of no large a work Jas a graving dock having a depth of 33 feet on the sill. The applications, and still less the testi monials accompanying them, were never studied. The majority of the members of the Board never read those testimonials, as the Secretary could testify. Only the Chairman, Mr Lamb, and himself had gone through them. The list had first been re duced to seven candidates, and the Chair man, then forgetting that the testimonials had not been read to the Board, proceeded to the ballot. He confessed that he did net notice the error at the time. It was said that the word had been passed round at the meeting that tho thing was arranged, and that everyone but himself knew before hand who was to be appointed. It was a proceeding which reflected the reverse of credit upon the Board. At the request of Mr Clark, the Secretary then read out the Board's minutes of the closing meeting of the Errington inquiry. They were as follow:—"July 26, 187G, — Mr Mays moved: (1) That in the opinion of this Board the evidence adduced at the recent inquiry called for by -Mr Errington into certain charges against him implied in a sories of questions pub lished in tho Auckland Evening Star of June 7 (187G) fully proves that the plans and specifications for tho graving dock, as ap proved by MrCarruthers, Engineer-in-Chief, were wholly prepared by Mr George Aicken, C.E., without any material supervision or alteration by Mr Errington, the responsible Engineer to the Board ; (2) That the sanction of this Board to the alteration of the dock site, position of the engine-house, pumps, and caisson chamber, was given under the impression that these changes wore originally suggested by Mr. Errington, and wore as much advantage to the Board v* to the contractors, but the Board now linds they originated with the contractors, and will benefit them only; (3) That the deviations from tho specifications for the cofferdam permitted by the Engineer, are in direct violation of the general conditions, .solely to the benefit of the contractors, and a gross injustice to the other tenderers for the work; (4) that the evidenco also clearly shows that Mr, Errington is not competent to superviso the construction of the graving dock."

Mr Mays : Did I say all that ?

The Secretary : Yes, sir; all that. (Ketith). Mr Cosgrave moved an amend ment as follows :—"This Board having con sidered the evidence brought before it bearing on the serious of questions sub mitted for inquiry, and especially relative to the altered position of the dock, the Board finds that the change was made at the suggestion of the contractors ; that the position of the boiler house was likewise removed from the original' plan at the request ot the contractors; but both changes will, it is believed, be found imitually beneficial. The Board further learns that the contractors have been permitted to alter tho construction of the coffer dam in a way that will greatly cheapen tho cost to the contractors; it ia considered that these alterations should not have been sanctioned by the Engineer, without first submitting them for approval of the Boaid, in terms of the specifications upon -which tho contract was lot. Tho Board is of opinion that deviations from original speci fications upon which tenders have been cdlcd should only be made with ex tremo caution, and rocommond that in futuro tho Engineer shall prepare an esti mato of tho difference in cost caused by any proposed alterations, and shall submit for tho consideration of tho Board. Tho Board, thorefore, considers that the public interests rendered it was very desirable that the inquiry should have boon hold, r.nd thanks all tho witnesses for their attendance and tho information they have given to the Board." [The Secretary read several verbal amendments. It, however, appeared that Mr Cosgrave's amendment was put and only nogativod by tho casting voto of the Chairman.] Tho Secretary next read tho following resolution at the same meet ing, moved by Mr Nicool and poconded by Mr Mays : ''That this Board having at the request of Mr Errington inquired into cer tain charges affecting him which appeared in tho Evening Star newspaper, finds that material alterations in the coffor-dam have boon made without consulting tho Board, and although these alterations may be in some instances mutually beneficial to the contractors and the Board, tho Board desires to record its strong disapproval of any alterations or concessions having beon made by the Engineer without the approval of tho Board, and recommends that in future all proposed alterations bo sub mittod in writing, with a clear statement of tho advantages to bo gained and the increase or decrease of cost to the Board." With regard to the alterations in tho speoi. fication for tho coffer-dam, which will pro bably effect a saving to the contractors, this Board is strongly of opinion that if these alterations do not injuriously affect tho dock contract, then the money of tho Board was lavishly wasted by making the original specification unnecessarily expen sive. [Mr Holdship, seconded by Mr Isaacs, at tho • same meeting moved an amondmont, that all the words after "Board" be struck out, but this amend ment was lost by five to four, and Mr Niccol's motion was put and carried.] Tho Chairman : Oh, there's nothing in that.

'Mr Clabk said that ho formed quite a different opinion. Ho considered this reso lution of condemnation a weighty indict ment against Mr Brrington, and one, too, which should havo called for grave con sideration beforo thoy engaged him again. Mr ]). H. McKisnzie secondodtho motion, and in doing so asserted that the' opinion of tho Board with regard to tho Graving Dock contract which Mr Errington supervised wan that it was not satisfactory. The Chairman expressed himself both surprised and sorry at the action which Mr Clark had seen fit to take, and positively denied that the question of appointing a (dock engineer had been either rashly or hastily determined. The 20 applications wore received and opened at a public meeting, and for two days after wards both applications and testimonials lay in the office for public inspection. If certain members did not take tho trouble to look through them, it was surely their own fault. At another public meeting tho applications were all read, and such testimonials too as had come to hand, for somo of tho applicants sent no testimonials, seeing that they wore not ad vertised for. Gradually the number of candidates was reduced to seven, and then it was resolved to take a ballot, tho result of which was that Mr Errington received a majority of votes, viz., seven out of twelve, or more than double tlio votes given for his nearest rival—Mr. McGregor. The minority now wished to upset the decision of the Board, and thus render it a public laughing-stock, besides injuring a professional man's character. As charges had 'been made against Mr Errington, he had given him an opportunity of refuting them. It had been said that he oould not make plane, and by way of answer ho now submitted a dock plan that he had drawn. It had also been asserted that ho was not a ceitificated member of the Society of Civil Engineers, and in reply he produced bin certificate of election in 1878—[Mr Lamb : After the last dock was built]—as well as a letter of recommendation from Sir Frederick Whitakcr. He also submitted plans of a dock built upon a mud bottom in Mr Errington's native town, though not by him, but showing that a stone bottom was not indispensable. Finally, a letter from Mr Errington himself was road, The .en*

gineer who had been lauded as so superior to Mr Errington, viz., Mr McGregor, of Oamaru, was not thought so much of down South, for at a recent meeting of the Oaint.ru Harbour Board the Chairman re marked that Mr McGregor had led them into miscalculations. The Wellington papers spoke even more unfavourably of Mr Napier Bell. Mr Errington's ability was well at tested by his works both at the Thames and at Auckland. He, therefore, opposed the resolution.

Mr Lamb supported the motion. Ho <Jid not call Mr Emngton's ability in question, but he was quite assured that the applica tions of the other candidates had not re ceived full and satisfactory consideration. Mr Errington, in allowing a serious altera tion to be made in the construction of the coffer-dam without consulting the Board, had shaken its confidence in him as a pro fessional man, for the error lie had com-' mitted was certainly a grievous one, and one, too, which should have taught it to be more careful in future. Tho Board had been fortunate in having such a contractor as Mr Ware for their existing dock.

Mr Nathan said that when the applica tions were received he asked that their consideration should be taken on the fol lowing day (Wednesday), but it was not agreed to at the time. On Thursday he was summoned by an urgent message to attend the Board meeting, found the question of appointing an engineer en gaging its consideration, and voted for the only candidate whose testimonials ho had read.

Mr Harper was sorry at the action which Mr Clark had seen fit to take in this matter, but accepted his disclaimer of being actuated by personal motives. Mr G. W. Owen said that so far as he was concerned, he voted for the Engineer in ignorance of any understanding as to who was to be elected, and fully believing Mr Errington to be the best man for their pur poses. He still held that opinion. Mr Dacre asked if it was true that in the event of this resolution being carried, Mr Errington jwould be entitled to conpensa tion.

The Chairman did not know, but thought it was vary likely.

Mr Clark said that he had taken a legal opinion, and had ascertained that Mr Errington would have no claim to com pensation. Mr Aickin thought that the Board would be far more likely to render itself a laugh ing-stock by appointing Mr Errington Bock Engineer in face of its own resolution of condemnation upon him than by re versing thU latest appointment. Mr Errington, by his action in regard to the coffer-dam, had shown himself to be a weak and vacillating man, easily influenced by tho contractors, and lacking the prin cipal attribute of manliness, viz., firm aes3. r ' Mr Clark, in reply, pointed out that'at the meeting whereat Mr Errington waa condemned for his action re the coffer-dam, the Boaid marked its opinion of him by negativing Mr Holdship's resolution affirm ing his competency. The Chairman : Perhaps on that occasion the majority were more grievously jwrong than on this occasien.

Mr Clark went on 'to say 'that in making the foundation for the caisson chamber, Mr Errington's soundings were subsequent to those of the contractor when a mud bottom was found, and the dock waa almost finished when it was discovered that no rudder hole was provided. The report of the Board's inquiry into the charges against Mr Errington was a damaging one, for it accused him of "lavish expenditure." Aa for his connection with the city waterworks, he boldly asserted that for years the people of Auckland had, through Mr Errington's mistakes, to drink filthy and polluted vater. He had the water pumped from a dead corner instead of being taken from the source, and until he (the speaker) drew at tention to the matter there was actually no provision made for washing out the. reser voirs. Tiie resolution was then put, with the following result: — For: Messrs Clark, Lamb, Aickin, Nathan, Mays, and McKenzio. Against: Messrs. Stone, Morrin, Owen, Dacre, Harper, and Waddel. The Chairman having already exercised his deliberative vote againstthemotion,then threw his casting vote also on the same side, the resolution being thus negatived. engineer's remuxeration. The Chairman then moved that the Board should accept Mr Errington's alter native offer to supervise the work for a com mission of 2J per cent. Messrs Aickin and McKenzie thought a salary of £800 a-year would be cheaper, besides allowing the engagement to ba terminated at tho end of the first year. Mr AiCkin moved, as an amendment, and Mr Lamb seconded, that the remuneration should be at the rate of £800 per annum,. The Chairman withdrew his motion in .favour of this proposition On Mr CtAEK's suggestion, Mr Aickin then added to his proposition the condition that the engagement should be for one year subject to six months' notice. Mr Waddej, thought the remuneration by percentage Ea far better arrangement than that proposed by Mr Aickin. ■ Mr Mays considered that the question of remuneration should be deferred until, the tenders came in, when the Engineer's esti mate for the work would be tested. Ha moved, therefore, that tho question 9hould be deferred as suggested. Mr McKenzik seconded. After some further discussion it was ra> solved that tho remuneration should be 2J' per pent, on tho amount of the contract! provided that guoh did not exceed £120,000 in terms of the application; and in the event of the tenders for the dock exceeding £120,000, that Mr Errington should be paid £250 for his plans. • • .'- This ended the debate.

Strong Parliamentary Language.

A soene occurred in the Assembly yester* night, when Mr Dan O'Connor replied to certain statements concerning him made by Mr McElhone, to whom he referred in th.B following tovms. He described him as ¥ vile mahgner of the living and the dead, and one who should be ignominiously ex pelled from public life j who possessed the inherent ourrishnoss of a coward ; who had Bunktothodepthsof ingenious and damnable malignity ; who had an utter disregard of the truth, who indulgod in fiendish at- '. tempts to vilify private life and degrade public virginity; who was an illiterate mountebank, a commercial Shylook, an un-\ scrupulous vulturo, and one whom he ab horred from tho bottom of his soul as a political quilp. All this aroso out of the Last Sydney election, and O'Connor ia to prooced against. McElhone in thq Supremo Court for libel. State Libel Prosecution at Brisbane. In tho Assembly, Mr Griffiths called at tention to a serious breach of the privileges of the Houso. The " Courier " had pub lished an artie.lo which referred to the hope- > less partiality of the Elections Committee, . which was not governed by evidence, but totally by party considcrateness. The article proceeded to say that in tho case of tho Cook election "It is understood that tho Election Committee, which merely executes the Premier's will, has determined to quash that olection also." Mr' Griffiths moved that the Attorney General bedirected to prosecute the publisher in tho Supreme Court. The Opposition justified the remarks as true, and said that if the Attorney- General prosecuted it would only make the Premier look more ridiculous than he at present appeared. The motion was even tually carried by 20 to 13. Employment is being found up country for many of the newly-arrived immigrants. :
