Tlie Mayor moved the adoption of the report. —Cr. Maseiield seconded, but mentioned cbat the Committee had wished in connection with clause 2 that the cost should not ex ceed £50. —It was decided, on Cr. Goldie's .notion, to refer clause back to the Com mittee.—Cr, Masefield moved that the portion of tho report re the Library be considered at next meeting of the Council, —Cr. Upton, referring to the clause re Library, said that the Committee seemed to have been impressed with the considera tion that someone had suggested the appointment of a permanent com mttee. Tho first outccme of their consideration was not what should be lono regarding the forming of a library, jut what should not be done. He pointed out that after objecting to this outside com mittee, thoy recommended that gentlemen of special knowledge outside the Jouncil should, be invited to assist the Council in selecting books. As that Was exactly what he was striving for, bethought ihat they should be permanently on tho committee. He twitted the Committee on naking "theology" the first subject irjentioqed for classification, and said that theological works would be the last that ho ■vould have in a public library. Men gave their fads the name of theology, and called tt a science. He pointed out that there was no reference to works on agriculture, and in concluding said that there should be a permanent committee, and moved that _ie clause be referred back to the Com mittee with instructions to name five gentlemen to act as a Library Advisary Committee.—Cr. Montague seconded, and (Jr. Goldie tho amendment by Cr, Upton.— Cr. Maseiield opposed the amendment on tho ground that an irresponsible body should havo control of the Library. This opinion was held almost unanimously by the Committee, and it would be futile to refor the report back to them. The men elected by the ratepayers should have the management of the Library, and not persons who might havo no sympathy with the tastos of the public.— Cr. Aickin spoke in support of the report of the Committee, pointing out that under the method proposed tho Council or its Com mittee would have two powers of veto. There was nothing unusual in the proposal, which system obtained in provincial towns at Homo.—Cr. Crowther raised the question of the right of the Council to transfer their power over the Library rate to an irres ponsible body. He suggested the addition of Cr. Upton's namo to the Committee.— Cr. Mackechnie opposed and Cr. Cooper supported the amendment. Other Council lors having spoken, tho amendment was put and carried.—Cr. Masefield . then moved an amendment to the effect that the Finance Committee be ap pointed to select the Advisary Committee. He as a member of tho Legal Committee objected to make the selection. —Cr. Garratt seconded.—Cr. Cooper suggested the ap pointment of a new committee, rather than that the Legal Committee should throw up tho sponge in an ungraceful manner.^-Cr. AickmsaidCr. Cooper had no right to assume that the Legal Committee were not going to accept the dictum of the Council.—Cr. Goldie said that \t the Committee refused to nominate'the Committee, "tlioi.- action would be infra dig.—Cr. Mackechnie sup ported Cr. Masefield'sremarks on the ground that the Council did not know its own mind. —Cr. Masefield's motion was lost, and a further motion by Cr. Garratt, " That the Council nominate the Advisary Committee this day fortnight/ met a similar fate.— The original motion, that the report be referred back to the Finance Committeo, was put and carried.

Kahangaiiape J}oad.—lt was decided to pay Messrs Berry and McCaslin £100 each for depositing earth from the widening; of Newton Road contract on their allotments.

Ponsonby.—ln reply to Cr. Upton, Cr. Crowther said tho petition respecting the formation of Jervois Road and Argyle-street was now before the Streets Committee.

Freeman's Bay.—Tlio motion pi Cr. Connolly that a crossing be made from the north side of Viotoria street W. to Billing. ton's corner was withdrawn.

Those Designs.—Cr. Mackechnie moved, " That the sum of £300, or such other sum as the Council may decide upon, be offered without prejudice to Messrs Grainger and D'Ebro, of Melbourne, architects, for their designs for the Public Free Library, the working plans prepared to carry out the same, and all claims they may have against the Council."—Cr. Aickin seconded.—After 8 me discussion the motion was lost. This concluded the business.

To tho Editor : Sir, —In your last night's issue, re unemployed, you stated that a local coach-builder said he could give em ployment to one man ;.I beg to state that I told the men in waiting that I could give employment to a man if lie had barrow and tools; none of them offered to take tho job. About an hour after, a man came over and said he would work for me if I would do this arid do that and the other.: I told him to never mind. .When he found he could not dictate to me, he cams back again, but L refused to take him on, and perphaps tha. was the reason Be waa not one of the favoured ten, or that be [is among the unemployed. When men dic tate to their employers, it is time for them to try and do without such labour, as I havo done, by making a tramway, and dis- Eensing with 3 more men to help those I aye.—l am, Sec, See.. A_ Local Coach, builder os a Small Scale.

In his address at the opening of the Christ church Diocesan Synod yesterday, the'P.i mate, referring to religious instruction in schools, said that out of 23,526 children oh the rolls of 204 State schools, 3,038 children in 52 schools are receiving some such; instruction from the clergy or teachers: appointed by„ them. He added ;-r-"It is difficult to say what more can be done at this present time, but it is impossible to resist the conviction that besides those. children in the State schools for whom tliij Church fi responsible, there are mariiy others in the diocese who receive from hey no religious instruction." He also re marked that the 08 clergymen in the diocese were insufficient for the spiritual wants of the population.
