THE CALLIOPE DOCK.

Plans S-K-bmiWcil to the Harbour Board,

St to Proposed to Place tho Dock On« Hundred Foot Further Inshore.

TnE plans of the proposed Calliope Graving Dock, upon which Mr William Erring ton, C.E., has been engaged since bin recent appointment as Dock Engineer, were submitted to the Hatbonr Boar. this afternoon. The design is en en^ tirely different one to that submitted by Mr D. E. McDonald some time ago, but no alteration has been made in the dimensions, which were provided for by resolution of tho Board, ft is estimated that the Dock will be con structed according to Mr Evrittgton's plans for a sum within tho spcciliod limit of £120,000, this amount cover ing both tho cost of dock and necossary machinery. A great saving lias been effected on tho cofferdam, works. In stead of tho larger cofl'er<l_m which was previously recommended, it is now proposed i£o place tho dock about 100 foet further in shore,thus reducing the size of the becessary, cofferdam te about 250 feet. The inten tion is to excavate all the Dook so as to get tho full depth of Hi feet outside tho ontranco at high water of ordinary spring tides. Another saving is expoeted to bo ia tho con crete work. All the body of the Dock itself is to be of cement concrete, the specifications providing that tho material shall withstand a tensile strain of SaOlbs to tho square inch. This concrete has been used with great success in the Royal Albert Docks at London, and it is proposed to mako tho -concrete for tho Calliope Dock ot stronger proportions than that used at Homo for similar' works. The entrance is intended to; be faced with stone ~chlar wor_. Accord- j i_g to tho original design, the engines, i pumps, and caisson wei_ to havo been placed on the seaward side of, the Dock on the reclaimed forcshoro. i It is now intended that they shall be' situated on the solid rock on tho landward : side, thus avoiding tlie necossity for ex pensive work to reach tlio foundations. A slight alteration has been mode in tho position of tlio Dock, which has been slowed somewhat to tho westward with the object of preventing any possible silting. It now lies almost! due north and south. Tho proposed dimen sions are : Length, 300 feet; width at entrance, SO feet; dopth on sill at highi water ordinary spring tides, 33 feet. Mr] Errington is quite satisfied that the Dock,' with machinery, can be built according to tho present design for less than £120-000. Should the plans bo adopted by tho Board, i they will bo forwarded to His Exoelloncy the Governor for approval by Order-in- Council, and tendors will bo called for tho work immediately thereafter.

At the meeting of tho Harbour Board this afternoon, the plans, wore referred to the Dock Committee for report. The speci fications were ordered to bo printed.

OWEN C. McGEE'S IN SOLVENCY.

The first meeting of creditors in tho estate of Owen Curran McGee, tho woll-known famous studmaster of Otahuhu, wa3 to havo been held to-day in tho Supreme Court, but lapsed for want of a quorum. If all who camo had stopped, there would havo been a sufficient number to con stitute a meeting, but they did not. Tho debtor himself was present, and so also -was his solicitor (Mr Campbell). In the course of a desultory and informal discus sion it was explained that the debtor had been driven into filing his schedule of in solvency through the pressure exerted by ono of the smallest of his creditors, viz., John Leek, draper, who, fora debtof £91357 d had him put into gaol, as a releaso from ■which the declaration of insolvency was re luctantly resorted to The assets showed a large surplus over the liabilities, but as they consisted largely of landed property, which could not be realised upon except at a loss just now, their value could not bo obtained. Mr McGee- Intention was to have asked his creditors to allow him three years' grace, so that he might pay their claims in full. He does not wish to incur tho disgrace of being a bankrupt, nor does he desire to be released from his obligations. In order that his proposition may be discussed, a second meeting is convened for to-morrow.- The following statement, made on oath by tho debtor, had been drawn up for submis sion to the meeting by the Official Assignee to-day: — Unsecured Creditors — The amount stated in my schedule is now com plete. In addition to £355 13s 7d, there will be at least £105 more. Secured Creditors—A. Buckland's debt, £330; estimate value of security, £1,500. My in debtedness to Mr Buckland is for a mortgage over the property secured. This was effected about 15 months ago, and I pay 5 per cent, interest over a period of three years. The land consists of 600 acres; I, bought this about 5 years ago at £1 7s 6d per aero, equal to £825 or thereabouts. I ploughed up about 60 acres. That is all I havo dono except the half cost of fencing from the adjoining properly, say £40. I believe the property to be now worth fully £1,500. I liave received no incomo from this,—To Mr Keening : I oive a debt of £200, tho (estimated value of the security being £300. This is a mortgage also, and the property adjoins tho abovo. -he mottgago. was effected about throo years ago, and I pay 10 per cent, interest, ond the term is nearly expired. Tho land con sists of 80 acres. I bought it about 4 or 5 years ago'at £4 5s per acre, equal to £340 or thereabouts. I havo spent nothing on this property, nor have I received any in come. The property is worth the money. There is also a dobt of £343 to Mr J. B. Russell, the estimated value of the security being £250. This is a bill of salo over fur niture and effects, and was given about two years ago, but I do not remember upon what terms it is running. In addition to the assets stated on my schedule there is an entire horse, bet being lame, ho in only worth £10—the sum 1 gave for him. 1 know of no other property or interest in property, debts owing, or any horses, land, or property of any description due to my estate beyond that now disclosed. Mr Campbell stated that the estate would yield a surplus of £1,177 over all liabilities if only & fair value could be obtained for it, but this was not probable in the present condition of property.

The barque Presto, from Oamaru, was signalled when we went to press. A B:eamer (probably the Stella) outside Tiri iri was also signalled at the same time.

BALL PRACTICE AT PONSONBY.

Narrow 3__oaJ* of a Resident

NoTwmtfT.VNiilxii all tnA't his been siid '■-gainst the' very reprehensible pttrsuit of .all prKcticc by lads in populous distt.e._ like fonsonby, repeated complaints of its continuance havo readied us during the the last few days. Rostdewte have a dread of approaching ttv, beach, for fear .f receiving the '(•intents' Of some riflo or pistol held fey careless boys who .'go tMt-6. to pra'ctiso snooting at birds __A ilhy 'other object, which may s.ttrstl their attention. The police »>.ppe?,f- lo exhibit a degree of .snf>iiiemi.« In tho matter which ccrtS'ttly decs Wat lend to tho amcKeravlon -o. this 'dangerous habit, and it- is Wecessory that some immediate ac.ion should bo taken to punish off?i»d.ys. A few days ago wfc V& ■eorded !!i_ fact that a house in -Yeeman's Pay bad been peppered, with bullets, nnd since then fifing- has frequently been hoard in tho vicinity, Shortly after five o'clock last evening a resident of Ponsonby Was rowing in a skiff a short distance from the beach, this side -ot Shelly Beach, when suddenly a bullet whizzed past him in proximity rather too close to be com-! fortablc s in fact, he considers he had an' exceedingly narrow escape from being' shot. He naturally looked -for the cause! of this alarming incident, and observed] a young man armed with a 'riflo' standing on the beach. Thls;individual,it' appeared, bed been amusing himself'by bell' practice, using a bottle .placed some distance from tho Bhore -as a t„rgot ; and it was at this object that he had fired before ho saw the skiff pass between it and. > himself. The Occupant 'Of the .-"iff remonstrated with tlie possess., of the rifle, when tho latter _c_ame exceed-1 ingly insolent, and pulled n Bhooting lieertso: out of bis pocket, remarking, "Look at: that." In response, he Was told that that did not give him the privilege to go shooting in the city to the danger of inhabitants, and 'further, 'thut his conduct would1, bo reported to the police, A mifWte' description ot the young _u__ has! •been recorded, and no doubt Will lead to his identification and punishment, as an' example to other" possessed of similar 1 dangerous inclinations. Nor is this nil. Not only ball practice is daily indulged in along tho Ponsonby beach, 'iut residents whoso housos aro situated closo to tho cliff's havo been again and ngnin placed in danger by tho sudden descent of charges of shotonth"? tops of their houses or verandahs, and amongst the trees in thoir gardens. Many youths muko periodical excur sions along tho beach below, and nmuso themselves In shooting small birds, suoh *s sparrows, and in firing at theso harmless creatures they do notj stop to consider what may lay befilrti, and i in tho background is usually somo private residence, whoso inhabitants aro .placed in the unonviablo position of a liability of I beiDg the recipients of _ charge of shot at any moment. ■ It is to be 'hoped that immediate action taken by tho polico will put a stop to this most reprehensible prac tice, wid that the offenders will be punished.

HARBOUR BOARD.

Tile fortnightly meoting was held this afternoon. Tho secretary of tho depart ment forwarded rider of verdict on Edward Welcome re chains on wharf. Agreed that answerbe forwarded that tho Board has dealt with tho matter.—A question from the Colonial Marino Engineer «s to whether it was intended to lay roils o.i Ocean Steamers Wharf was referred to Tariff Committeo. —Re letter from Secretary of Loan and Mercantile agency, it was agreed that 'all wool Landed on the whait for transhipment bo charged half wharfage rates—Tho Board declined to make rebate of charges on steamer Wel lington, which amounted to £160 odd.— Lettor from Waikato Timber Company ro delay with totara piles, was received.— Payment of proportion of compensation money for Emily Place works was author ised.—Tho Engincor reported that Mr Jackson had discontinued work on excava tion contract at Cnlliopo Dock.

DOCK EXCAVATION.

Mr Jackson Bcllngulßhos His Contract.

W_ understand that Mr 11. M. Jackson has discontinued his contract for excavation work at the Calliope Dock sito, North Shore. This action was reported at tho meeting of the Harbour Board this afternoon. There still remains to be ex cavated about 195,000 cubic yards of earth, besides several smaller works- The cost of these is estimated at about £1,092. It is not at all probable that tho Harbour Board will bo losers by tho discontinuance. Tho original amount of the contract was £4,125, and payments have been made to the extent of £1,680. This leaves a balance of .1,465 with which to continuetho work, inde pendent of 10 percent, retention money and about £200 deposit. At the meoting of tho Board this afternoon, it was agreed that tho contract with Mr Jackson bo determined and tho work re-let. Tho Board further decidod that the mechanics and tradesmen employed by Mr Jackson should be paid out of the retention money. Tho question of additional excavation was at the same timo referred to tho Engineer for tho Dock.

"*A meeting of the creditors of Herbert Martin Jackson, contractor for the ex cavations at the Calliope Dock, was to have been held to-day, but lapsed for want of a quorum,and was therefore set downagain ft r to-morrow. The liabilities are stated at £971 17s sd, viz., £807 10s 9d unsecured, and £16-1 6s Sd secured, while the assets are estimated at £525 15s 7d, of which £695 15s 7d for " property," etc., forms the largest item.

The Harbour Board decided this after noon to obtain a large dredge, at a cost of .15,000 or £16,000. This is part of an ex tensive dredging system.

Messrs W. and G. Winstone have written to the Harbour Board declining tj carry out tho extension of the Hobson-street wharf at £3,069, but offering to do it for £3,779, being an addition of £341 on their previous price.
