(4) Clause 2—Legal Committee's Report, No. 10,716 (referred back), re Cr. Upton's motion :' That this Committee must decline to nominate five gentlemen to act as an advisory committee to the Library Committee. (5) Re plant ing Cemetery : Committee recommend tli at in the proper season steps be taken to have shelter trees planted. Motion No 911—Cr.

Hannaford re baths: That a reply to the effect of Council's reso lution be forwarded,—The Mayor moved the adoption of the report.—Cr. Pevore moved that the clauses be token seriatim. Carried.—Clause 1,2, 3 were passed without discussion*—On olause 4, Cr, Upton said that it was probably the first time that a report of a committee had been brought up in this form. The Legal Committee, acting as the Library Committee, had de clined to comply with a request of the Council. The report had probably been carried on the casting vote of the Chairman. He did not think that the wishes of the Council should be frustrated by a miror body. He thought that the Committee, aft er declining to carry out the express wish of the Council, should resign ; but it,was not likely the Council would allow the matter to remain in its'present state, and he would intimate his intention of moving at an early date' that a Library Committee be appointed,—Cr. Garratt denied that the Committee had attempted to frustrate the wishes of the Counoil, He agreed with the step Cr. Upton intimated that he in tended to take.—Cr. Mackechnie said it was not fair to osk the Committee to act inconsistently with their own views. The majority of the Council wished an Advisory Committee appointed. Why did they not nominate the men if they thought it right ? The Legal Committee objected to do it on principle, believing it to be a mistake.—Cr. (Joopor said it would have come with better grace if the Committee bad asked to be re lieved of the management of the Library. The report of the Committee placed the supportersof Cr. Upton'smotioninan invidi ous position. They went "bald-headed" for the Council, and said "We wont do it."— Cr, Crowthor said the Committee had his sympathy. It had been handled rather roughly, not only in the Council, but through -the press. They had been accused of not having the ability to select books, and this cut those with sensitive natures. The vote of the Committee was a conscien tious vote, though it was carried on the casting vote of the Chairman. They all knew how those indireot knocks came through the press j they do not always come as they should.—Cr. Aickin said the Com mittee also had his sympathy. The Com mittee had given great satisfaction, except to a writer of the who had abu sively and vulgarly abused the Library Com mittee. The writer had exceeded the fair bounds of journalistic criticism when-he threatened to "name" the members of the Committee and show up their several pecu culiaritics. He thought the appointment of a special committee a solution of the difficulty.—Cr. Upton complained that his remarks re jurisprudence and theology had been misreported in the "Herald." The Star had reported him correctly. It had been insinuated that he had had something to do with what had been written in the newspapers, but he asserted that he had nothing to do with any of the state ments.—Cr. Crowther: Did you not canvass for votesoutsideon this matter?—Cr. Upton: I do not feel called on to answer an imperti nent question. - The clause on the report was passed and read —On clause 6, Cr. Dovoro said the plans for the fresh-water baths were on the table. The cost would be £4,000, and he had no doubt that the. re venue would repay the money. He, how ever, wished'that it should te stated where the money wastocoruefrom.—Cr. Montague supported the adoption of the clause, but urged that the money should be charged to the general fund, and not to any ward allocation.—Cr. Garratt supported? the adoption of the clause, remarking that

baths should also be subsequently estab. lished in Hopetoun-etveut.-Cr. WavmontK suggested the reference of the matter to the Finance Committee, to devise ways and means.-Cr. Aickin strongly supported the clause, pointing out that at present th« baths could be constructed cheaply and Ko felt sure that they would derive a lai4r revenue from the baths than if tfiev leased the allotments. - Cr. CrowtWr suggested that the money should come out of the £25,000 loan next year.—The May.. -drew attention to the fact that the Councils debit balance was a very creditable one £11,000.— The report was then adopted Unemployed. -The Mayor Sported the result of the meeting of the unemployed at the Lome-street Hall He also read the resolution passed at the meeting, that no other contracts be let by the Council till the surplus labour ft absorbed.—Cr. Garratt said a statement had been made that a contractor named Heath had been prevented from putting on men through the action of the Engineer',! department. He asked the Engineer if this was true. The Engineer said" that there was no contractor of that name working for the Council. _ Referring to the resolution of the meeting the Mayor denied that the Council wai bound to provide work for the unem ployed.-Cr. Connolly said if contractors were compelled to finish works within the time, there would be no unemployed in Auckland.—Cr. Devore: Harbour Board offices. (Laughter.)—Cr. Coflpe advocated the strict enforcement of time penalties as a method of gecuiinp the employment of workmen.- Cr. Burns re marked that Irvine, tlio contractor for the Karangahape Road cutting, Mas two months behind, and he could employ double the number of men now engaged.—Cr Masefield thought that representation should be made to tho Government to pro. vide relief works for the destitute. It waa not the place of the Council to do this ~ Cr. Waymouth said that at present Audk. land was the most prosperous city in the ■ colony. The deposits in our Savings Banks were one-third of the amount de posited in the colony, and if they made representations to the Government, tliev would be met with inquiries as to the ■'■ anomalous position of affairs. — «Gt Devore said there ■ were many stnafi works in the suburban wards that might be done by day labour. If those men were not fit to work for 7.b per day,-, Jet them: work for 6s per day. There were hundreds of pounds worth of work in the wards of Karangahape andPonsonby alone.—ln reply to a question, the Town Clerk statod that the time penalty had never been enforced on contractors.—Cr. Garratt strongly said" there was scope for consideration of th« matter by the Streets Committee, if only in the matter of enforcement of time penalties. —The matter was eventually referred tatbo Streets Committee. ■. c
