Curhax-street.— A petition was also re ceived from the owners and occupiers of property in Curran-street, praying that it should be formed and opened up for traffic, a uniform gradient being given.—Referred to Streets Committee.

Streets Committee. — This Committee recommendedasfollows:—(l) ThatMr Black be referred to the contractor re overflow from Wellington-street, as works are still in his hands. (2) That steps be erected in Edwin-street at a cost of £2 10s. (3) That channel in Elizabeth-street be cleared, and some ashes put on cartway until something of a more permanent character can be done, cost about £25. (4). That specifications from Waterworks Engineer be adopted.— Cr. Crowther objected to any more 4-inch pipes being sent for, and moved as an amendment that the specification should be altered so that 6-inch mains only should be ordered, other requisites being in propor< tion.—Eventually the specification was re ferred back to the Streets Committee, tho Engineer to report.—The report as amended was then adopted. Fire Bkioade.—Superintendent Hughes applied for blue waterproof tunics and trousers for the Fire Brigade (32 members), blue waterproof being less costly than scarlet cloth.—Referred to Fire Alarms Committee.

Look Hospital.—The surgeon reported that since his last report five patients had been admitted and five discharged, and that eight still remained. Duos.—The Dog Inspector reported that there wcro 870 registered caninos in the city.

Sanitation-.—A report from the Sani tary Inspector stated th>.t since the 3rd inst. he had received 4S complaints of nuisances, etc., that he had issued 32 notices to abato nuisances, andfthat 7 cases of infectious disease had been reported within the city, and 6in the Hospital. He was daily receiving complaints of the want of drainage in streets and gullies, also of stenches from drains not tapped. Finance Committee.— Cr. Waymouth's name was added to this- Committee.

Lease of City Property.—A memo, was received from the Town CJlerk stating that the 11 allotments in Albert and Cook-streets, which had been re-leased the other day, would produce a rental of £850 10s per annum, some of the allotments fetching 100 per cent, over and above the upset price.

Fort-street.—Cr. Aickin drew attention to the necessity of nt once asphalting the crossing at the corner of Fort and Queen streets.—The Engineer stated that the work \yould be done as soon aa the contractor had finished with Alten Road.

Wellesley - street. — Cr. Montague wished to know the position of the Welles ley-street contract, as the thoroughfare was quite impassable, The Engineer replied that the contract time expiredja month ago, and that means would be taken to promote facilities for traffic.

Asphalting,—ln answer to Cr. Hol lands question as .to when the asphalting work in Grafton was likely to be done, the Engineer replied that the contractor was at present short of materials.

Vincent Lane.—Cr. Fleming inquired why the six-inoli kerbs now being taken up in Karangahape were not used for Vincent Lane.—The Engineer replied that they were required for the new streets. Gully Drainage.—ln answer to Cr. Stovonson, the Engineer said that plans and specifications were being prepared for the gully drainage in Karangahape. Drainage of Ponsjnby Ward.—Cr. Devore moved "That so much of any resolution of the Council as defers the pre paration of a drainage scheme for the whole city until all the levels in the city are fixed be rescinded, and that the Engineer report as to the best method of draining Ponsonby Ward." Heargued thatseparateanddistinct schemes of drainape would be required for the new wards of the city, and the improve ment of the Ponsonby drainage especially was forcing itself every day upon public notice. In Alma Place, Rich mond Road, and in places in and about Glonburn, deaths had already taken place from typhoid, and the air was being daily impregnated with poisonous exhala tions. Drainage should be attended to when the necessity arrived, andnotdeferreduntil a comprehensive scheme could be undertaken. Health camo before convenience, and con sequently bofore streets. If it were neces sary a rate should be struck for the purpose. —Or. Field seconded.—Cr. Aickfn "opposed the motion, pointing out that even now drainage works were being done as required, and contending that it would be desirable to do all these isolated works according to a consistent and com prehensive plan. — Cr. Thompson fully ad mitted the great importance of the drainago question, but could not see the fairness of Cr. Devore's plan. Besides, the Council had not the legal authority to impose further rates. He would support the proposition, however, were it amended by the excision of the words, "Ponsonby Ward," and the insertion in lieu thereof of the words, "the ward in which the levels aro first completed." Each ward should como in the order in which the levels were ■ completed.—ln answer to Cr. Thompson, the Engineer stated that the levels of the Grafton Road were finished, that Karangahape was about half done with, and that some of the Ponsonby streets had also been completed. —Cr. Waymouth endorsed Cr. Thompson's remarks upon the importance of drainage, and he suggested that the Engineer should be directed to prepare a comprehensive scheme for the city.—The Engineer replied that in order to do this he would require an addition to his staff. He would be enabled next week to state what assistance he would need for the purpose.—Cr. Montague pointed out that Mr Clark's scheme of drainage for the old wards would involve an expenditure of much more than the amount of the whole loan, and that the needs of the new wards would require as much more. He did not see why the neces sities of Ponsonby should take precedence of those of other districts. The various streets should be attended to in the order of their urgency.—Cr. Crowther considered that the drainage of Alma Place should re ceive immediate attention, but he objected to Ponsonby as a district taking precedence of all other wards in this matter —Cr. Garratt followed in the same strain. The people residing in the vicinity of the cemetery found that the putrefying matter percolated through the soil and p Ol soned their wells. Their case was surely urgent enough, but to his m i nd the coddiUon of the Stanley - street sewer demanded the first attention -!

Gt. Masefield supported the motion, and stigmatised as perfect "bosh" tEe project of deferring action until a comprehensive scheme is prepared.—Cr. Fleming stated that the Streets Committee, to his know ledge, werewilling todosomethingtoremedy the drainage of Alma Place.—The Mayor remarked that tho proposed drainage ol Ponsonby would cost £30,000, while £10,000 was already required for the pur poses ef tho Stanley-street drain.—Cr. Devore having replied, it was agreed on his motion to defer the proposition for a fort night pending the submission of a report by the Engineer.—The Mayor promised to. take legal advico as to the Council's ability to levy a further rate. Special Kate. — The Mayor moved, "That this Council, in pursuance of tha provisions of the Loans Consolidations Act, 1883, ami Municipal Corporations and Bating Acts, 1876, levy a special rate of one slitting Id tho £ upon all assessable pro psrties withfn the city of Auckland, payable in two equal instalments on the 2nd daya of June and December, 18S4."—Seconded and agreed to. General Rate.— It waa also resolved, on the Mayor's motion, " That this Council, in pursuance of the provisions of the Municipal Corporations and Rating Acts, 1870, levy a general rate of one shilling in tho £ upon all assessable properties with in the city of Auck land, payable in one sum on^ the 2nd days of June and December, ISS4." Collingwooii-stkeet. — Cr. Masefield moved, "That the Engineer be instructed to prepare plans and specifications for kerb ing, channelling, and the drainage of Col lingwood-street with tho Wellington-street sewer." —Seconded by Cr. Fleming and

carried. The rough minutes were then read, and the Council rose.

This is wlthont doubt a most volnable pro- C;y, for it is in every way suited for Villa idences or Manufacturing Sites, containing as it does an almost unlimited supply of pure water—in fact, it is in reality tho filter-bod of our present water supply, which is acknow ledged to bo one of the purest in tho world. A six-inch gas pipe is laid past the main front age, which extends l'l chains along tho Great North Road. The whele of this land is within the three milo radius (viz., the Great North Road) of the Union Bank corner, and it is the intention of the Tramway Company to run a line past the Arch Hill Hotel, thus placing the property within a very easy distance of the city. A level grade can be secured for a tramway in a direct lino from the Morningside Railway Station, so that coals, building material, and general goods could then be carried from the Queen-street Wharf to the centre of this pro perty at a very small cost. If the property is not sold in its entirety, it will be cut up into Building Sites, as per plan to be seen at the Mart.

Dear Sir,—l to add my cheerful endorse ment of tho good effects I have at all times re ceived from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent 6 days' contest held in tho Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and the championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and the re sulta simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-pasi 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become sore and Btiff from over-exertion, but after boini? well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresb as over. A9 proof positive.after the contest was I over I rode 10<J miles against time before a pub tie audience and accomplished it in 6 hours 11 mlflutes 45isecondB. Another application ol St. Jacob's Oil was made, and It removed all feel intts of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for another race. Am positive it aided me to win the match, and I Bhall ncteronter a similar contest ynthoirt a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. . I strongly advise all "wheelmen and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully coo vinced their experiences will compare favour ably with my own iremainaearglr| Youra truly, John Hourx.
