(3) Eo moino. from Town Clerk (permits from Surveyor for buildings fronting rights of way): That Building Survoyor be in structed not to issue any porrnit for build ings fronting or adjoining rights of way.— Theadoptionofthoroporthavingbeen moved, Or. Masofiold moved that the following addition be made to thefirat clause i—" Ana that Major Derrom's suspension be with drawn." He said that as two skilled ac countants wore to be appointed, they might assume that the investigation would occupy somo time. Belioving that Major Derrom was a conscientious officer, he did not think that they should prejudge the oase by keeping him suspended. Besides, ho was on pay, and would bo during tho investigation, and he did not think thoy should doprivo the city of his services.—Cr. Oiler seconded.—Cr. Garratt expressed regret that Cr. Maseiield should have taken tho stop ho had. Tho Council, in suspending Derrom, had gone too far to retire now beforo the matter had beon fully investigated. If Derrom was cleared thoy would then have to make the amondo to him.—Cr. Aiokin said that if Cr. Mascrtiold had boon on tho Logal Committee ho would not havo made the motion. Dor rom had unreservedly admitted to tho Logal Committee that mistakes had been made. They wanted to find out the extent of those blundors.—Cr. Montaguo objoctod to £'20 of the ratepayers' monoy being expended in this manner, and urged that the Council should proceed to appoint a competent per son in Major Dorrom's place. The Engineor should discover tho errors and re port to tho Council.—Cr. Dovore said tho question was simply this :It would tako Mr Anderson three weeks to go into the ac counts, and would it bo botter to let him give his timo to that or omploy the account ants ? Ho belioved that the result of this investigation would be a saving of rate payers' money, and in a direction that was little Buspocted at present. Cr. Masefield's motion almost coin pellod the Legal Committee to give their reasons, but this would be very unde sirable. Though ho was almost persuaded to state one reason, he would retrain.—ln answer to Cr. Montague, the Engineer said he did think the works would suffer from the suspension of Major Derrom.—ln reply to Cr. Crowther, Mr Anderson stated that he had himself inspected the works this week.—Cr. Burns stated that the Engi neer had already stated before the Council that he considered Derrom incompetent to act as Clerk of Works, and he asked how, in face of that, the Council could reinstate Derrom.—The Engineer stated that his re port would be ready by next meeting, and perhaps then tho sorvicot- of tho accountants would not be required. He believed that they would not.—A Councillor said that then it would not bo necoss..ry to vote the I^o for the accountant*. — The Mayor, after remarking that . this showed ■ a Avnut of confidence in the Committeo, put the amendment, which was lost.—Cr. Crowthor then moved a further amendment that the £20 bo not voted,

pending the receipt of Mr Anderson's re port. He eaid the Committee, in recom mending the voting of the money before Mr Anderson had reported that it vras neces sary had acted with precipitancy. He thought that the officials of the Council, tlie City Treasurer for instance* might have been trusted to make the investigation.-— Or. Mase'ield seconded. — Cr. Montague dgain urged that they should find a sub stitute for tho Clerk of Work*.—Cr. Aickin supported the recommendation of the Com mittee. He said that he did not know of a matter of more importance than the matter now before the Legal Committee regarding contracts, etc. It was a matter that would run into hundreds of pounds, and a paltry £■20 should not stand in the way of a complete investigation being made outside the Council officials. He under stood that it was proposed to appoint the City Auditors to make 'the investigation.— Cr. Garnttt could not understand the posi tion taken Up by Cr. Crowther, seeing that less than a month ago ho had voted for tho handing of Ll2O to the Water Committee to •to prospecting with. He thought it would pa unfair to IJcrrom that tho officer making thS charge against him should be called to look into tho evidence and report. — Crs. Oiler and Ma'ckcchni* took the same view, the latter remarking thfit the Committee's recommendation was made in Major Derrom'fl interest.—The amendment was then put and lost, and tho report was put and adopted. The Hakdouk Boakd Oi'J'ICEM. —A letter was read from Mr i>. Ross, architect for tiro .Harbour Board Ofliccs, stating that tho City Building Surveyor had objected to the building as not comply ing with tho Building Regulations with re spect to tho thickness of tho walla. If the Building Surveyor had brought the matter of tho di«puto nnder tho notico of tho Council, he asked to bo heard in tho matter. —Cr. Bacre suggested ths reference of tho matter to the Streets Committee, No time would bo lost, as it appeared thafi there was also dispute between the architect aud the contractor. The City Engineer pointed out it was with the contractor, and not with tho architect,' they had to deal. Tho permit was issued to the contractor —Letter referred to Streets Committee —architect and con' tractor being requested to attend. Jkksiyx-stkebt.—Cr, Aickin asked what \ra.« the present position of matters with respect to proposed works in this thorough fare.—The Sui veyor naid that the drainage v orka were now close up ori tlie list, and would be commenced shortly. Drainage was the ouly work passed. No permanent formation works had been assented to.

Livkei'OOL-stbkiet.—ln reply to Cr. Crow thoi'i tho Surveyor stated that ho would take the Liverpool-street drainage works in hand in tho course of two or three weeks. Svmosds-stkkkt.—Cr. Devore asked by whoje authority tho Government officials had been prevented from placing scoria in Symonds-street. It had been the custom for tho Government to metal this thorough faro once a yoar. Some local official had stopjxjd the Government official, and the metal had not been laid.—The Engineer re plied that what lie know about tho matter was merely hearsay.—Cr. Devore asked Hint the Engineer should ascertain the facts and report at next meeting. — Cr. Burns said that the work had been undertaken by Mr Hales, District Engineer. While the spreading of the metal wns In progress, tho City Clerk of Works asked the foreman in charge of the work under whose instructions the work was being executed. He replied, "Mr llaleaV," whereupon the Clerk of Works in effect ordered him to desist, and the work wuu siißpondod. Cit. Tiiomfhon's Seat.—The Mayor re ported thatCr. Thompson's seat was vacant, and in reference to statements that had been made in the paper he pointed out that had Cr^ Thompson taken part in the proceedings of the Council it would havo been at his own rink. Proceedings of the Council would not have been violated through his taking part in them. Cr. Thompson had been in town three weeks after the accident, and he had himself to blaino for losing the seat.—Cr. Muckechnlo agree with the Mayor that no blumo Mas attachable to tho Mayor, Town Cloi'k, or tho Coßncil. It was absurd to supposo that anyone but Cr. Thompson was to blaino.—lt was then decided to take the necessary steps for filling up the vacancy. Lo(;k Hospital.—-The report on this in stitution showed that there were now nine inmates.

Telescope Fikk Escape.— Tho Superin tendunt of tho Fire Brigade reported tho arrival of tho telescope firo escape, and that it, was in good order and condition.—On the suggestion of tho Mayor, it was decided to have a public trial of tho escape at an early ilatc.

CoNckai.kd FIRE Plugs.—Tho Superin tendent reported that at tho lato fire in Franklin Road considerable delay had been occasioned by tho casing of tho ball hydrants being covered with scoria. This was through the carelessness of contractors for corporation worko, etc. Ho recom mended that the stone casings bo taken up and woodon casings placed round the plugs. A Bimilar report was received from tho turncock. A memo, was recoived from tho Town Clerk stating that tho plates indicating the positions of fire plugs were not properly looked after, and suggested that the inspection of these plates should be placed under the Firo In spector, with instructions to place platen whore necessary.—A resolution embodying this suggestion was carried.—Cr. Laßocho mentioned that though they had wator-pipes in Seafiold View, Gaol Road, and other streets in Grafton, they had no firo-plugs. Ho supposed ho would hove to rnoro in tho Council before anything was done.—Tho Mayor mado a memo.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To tho Editor of Evening Star.) I iDcar Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to tho efficacy of. the great Gorman remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from tima to timo, expressions of gratltudo from persons of known respectability, and having satisfied my self of tho genuineness of the cures effected, I obtained a bottle, Bcaroely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving me. For the past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in Bpito of the most able treatment on the part of my meai cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. Mv sleep'at last bepcan to bo affected, and my whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give mo relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The s«iatica waa principally located In my left thigh, and the paiiii at times was most excruciating. In spite of tho roost thorough applications, and the great est caro and attention on my part, I ob tained no appreciable nJlef, and at last, as a forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that tims the pain began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each application afforded mo relief. At first I re garded the cessation from pain aa only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the sure was complete; Cut I hare gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain—in fact, a man again. I must confess that I tried the Oil in abso luto deepalr. I had had no sleep for three or four nighte Dre vioualy, and my system was very low. The eucoesß, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to tho proprietors of the Oil, and shall over continue to rocommead it to every sufferer who oomes within range of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard it as the greatest boon of the ago. I am, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, John Ijeb. Ashbouruo, Mudgoo, November 12,1883.
