Tho court was then adjourned until 10 o'clock in the morning.

REPORT ON CALLIOPE DOCK.

Total Estimatod Cost, £176,700.

Four Tenders Received,

lowest Tender, £150,000.

The following report,addressed to thoChair man of the Harbour Board and dated to-day, was received from the Board's Engineer with respect to this dock:—" Sir,—l have the honour to state, that in giving the estimated cost of the dock proposed to be constructed at Calliope Point, I was of opinion that the work could be completed for the amount then stated, viz., £120,000. This estimate was a general one, and was given in the absence of the full quantities of materials and labour required for the work. It will be remembered that the dock originally proposed, and for the erection of which the sum of £120,000 was provided in the schedule of the Loan Bill, was to have only 26 feet of water over the sill. This depth of water would have required an inexpen sive coffer-dam, and I intended to use our local hydraulic limes very freely in the work. Before the plans were finished, the Board decided that the dock should have 33 feet of water on the sill at ordinary spring tides. This necessitated the work being placed in deep water, which not only added to the cost of the dock, but very materially added to the expense of erecting a coffer dam in the bold, deep water. And knowing that it was the wish and intention of the Board to submit the plans to a consulting engineer for ex amination, I was extromoly anxious that thore should be no possible doubt about the quality of the work I proposed for tho dock, and Portland cement concrete was speci fied to be used instead of lime con crete, as I foared that lime con crete, if specified, would be ob jected to by the consulting engineer from want of knowledge of its hydraulic pro perties. In addition to tho extra cost of having a dock with 33 feet of water on the sill instead of 20 feet, tho extra work added to tho plans by the three professional gen tlemen who have examined them involved an additional outlay of about £11,500. Having the full quantities before me, I have now to state that the estimated cost of con structing the dock in accordance wicb the plans and specifications herewith submitted [3 £164,700, exclusive of the saisson, engine, and pumps, the cost of which I estimate atf £10,000, making a total estimated cost* of £170,700 for the whole work. From this statement you will see that I have erred in making the work of such quality that its cost far exceeds the sum available. 1 would, therefore, advise that the plans should be reconsidered, and that a class of work be adopted which, whilst being less expansive, will be equally stable. I need hardly point out that every cask of Portland cement used in the work is so much loss to the place, and would recommend that our local hydraulic lime be freely used. I would also advise that a portion of the heavy retaining walls be left out, and that tim ber face-work be used instead. This alone will effect a saving of about £9,000, and by using a less expensive concrete and a largo quantity of first-class rubble masonry set in hydraulic lime mortar, a further saving of about £85,000 can be made, making a total saving of £44,000. And I have no doubt that, upon a re-arrangement of tho constructive details, a further saving of £2,000 or £3,000 can bo made, and the coat of the dock brought within the means at the disposal of tho Board. I would fur ther "state that in using local hydraulic lima instead of imported Portland cement about £20,000 will bo retained in Auckland. In conclusion, I would wish to impress up on the memberg of the Board that in con structing the dock as I now propose, they will ensure a really first-class work, and the difference in cost is owing to a free and Judicious use of local productions.—l have, etc., D. £. McDonald, Engineer." The report was considered by the Har bour Board at its meeting this afternoon. A short but sultry discussion took place, in which tho Engineer was censured all round for his great miscalculation of the cost of the dock, and his change of opinjon at the eleventh hour only. . _ Messrs Mays, McKenzie, Lamb, and Aickin spoke in favour of opening the tenders, and on Mr Mays' motion, they were accordingly opened as he said so that the saddle for the blunder might be put on tho right horse. They were :— HuntandWhito .... •• £I§H£S Cameron, Britton, and Co. -. }V 0.«» DaßlelFallon - •• "§•«?» John Taylor 18O' B' 9 On the motion of Mr May* the Engineer's report and the tenders were referred to tho Dock Committee, to report to the next meeting of the Board.

ACCIDENT ON MOUNT ROSKILL ROAD.

A Dangerous Crossing.

This morning what might have been a serious casualty occurred at tho railway crossing on the Mount Roskill Road. A spring cart waa being driven along just as the train was approaching, and there being no warning given, nor possibility of seeing tho approach of the engine, a collision seemed inevitable. The driver, a man named Thomas Corbett, saw the rapid approach of the train, however, as soon as the horse stepped on to the line, and it being too late to retreat he urged tho animal forward, in tho hope of get ting clear. The horse gavo a bound, but tho "iron horse" was too quick, and tho cow-catcher caught the wheel of the spring cart, and dragging the vehicle jammed it against the rocks of tjie cutting. Thore was but slight damage done, though the escape of the man and horse was a very narrow'one. When the vehicle was released from tho train the horse bolted, creating a new danger, which was avcrttd by the cool ness and nerve of the driver, who succeeded in pulling the animal up after a short career at a dangerous pace. It is not long since Mr Paterson, grain merchant, had a narrow escape at the same spot, which is well known to bo exceedingly dangerous both to pedestrians and vehicles of all kinds. Tho railway line nn both sides of tho road runs through a narrow passage completely lined and concealed by a thick growth of trees ; there are curves at no great distance, and it is impossible for any one to bo aware of the approach of the train in timo to escape. Tho immunity from accidents in former years arose from tho fact that there was but littlo trallic on the road ; but now that there has been such a great increase in the popu lation of the district, and quite a busy trailin along the road, it is time for some alteration to be made in ardor to secure the safoty of the public. Tho District Road Board some timo ago requested Govern ment ±o carry the road over by the means of a bridgo, but this has not yet been done. It is to hoped that such fresh representa tions will be made to Government in the matter as will cause them to |re-consider the subject and load them to provide a bridgo on this now busy thoroughfare.

The extent to which the telephone has become a social and commercial institution, was well exemplified this afternoon, when a whole batch of subscribers to the exchange were out off because of neglect to pay the quarter's subscription which is due.
