Sale-street.—Messrs Jagger and Parker wrote asking the Council to cause tho re moval of all the clay from in front of their allotment in Sale-street. r^-The Engineer reported that the eartli stood out on the footway six feet, and the cost of removal would be about £3 10s,—The request was ordered to be. complied witli. Widening HkjH:street.—John Cham bers, on behalf of T. nrtd S. Morrifi aivd Co., wrote stating that their Cofiipftfly is pre pared to dedicate to the city for the purpose of a street the piece of land in front of their new store, so as to make the street twelve feet wider, to correspond with the street line as intended when tho allotmOnt was bought from Major Richmond. Messrs Whitaker, Russell and Buddie would pre pare the necessary deeds at once.—lt was stated by the Mayor that the Legal Com mittee had not yet reported on tho letter referred to them at a previous meeting.— This present letter was also referred to the Committee for its consideration.

Grafton.—A number of ratepayers in this ward forwarded a letter asking that the Council would give its attention to necessary works in St. Martin's Lane, Avon-street, and Cheapside.—lt was stated that the Streets Committee had previously reported that the desired work was not neces sary.—lleferred back to the Streets Com mittee for further consideration.

Tuhneh-strkkt. — Robert M. Mitchell complained of the damage and inconvenience caused to him last Saturday week by the absence of a water-table in Turner-strcot. He complained further that tho gratings in the street had not been attended to since the storm. —Tho Engineer reported that the gratings had been attended to: Agreed that an answer be sent in accordance with tho memo.

Yarisokouuh-.stkeet.—John Swailes and eight others applied that Yarborough-st., Ponsonby, bo formed and metalled. They said it was tho only populated Btroet in this suburb which had not been improved.—Tho Engineer reported that tho levels were not fixed, and thereforo permanent formation could not ba done this season. He sug gested temporary formation at a cost of £10. — Cr. Crowther characterised this as " another of the constant beggings from Ponsonby."— Cr. Devore mentioned that they had been waiting for these levels for the last twenty months, whilo the levols in Karangahape and Grafton were dono in the meantime Thero was no bogging in the application. It was a question of right. — The work was ordered to bo done on division, an amend ment tbut the matter bo referred to the Streets Committee being lost. Paving Stone.—Edwin W. Glover again wrote in reforenco to tho Victoria patent paving titono, which could bo supplied at a prico of not more than 3s 6d por yard. He forwarded particulars of patent, which the Council might purchase.—Tho Mayor said tho stono was laid in front of tho Imperial Hotel, but tho timo allowed for tho tost had not yet expired. — Cr. Crowther thought tho mattor should lie iti abeyance for a time. Ho considered the colour of tho stone ob jectionable, whilo tho material cost twico as much as asphalt.—Referred to tho Streets Committee for consideration.

Cuossino.—C. J. Hutchinson asked per mission to retain footpath crossing in front of his premises in Customs-street.—-The Mayor said, in his opinion, the permit, if it had been granted, was improper. The crossing was a raised iron one. Messrs Morrin intended, ho believed, to apply for a similar concession, and he thought the matter should be inquired into.—Referred to the Streets Committee.

Road Metal.—L. Bourke and Co. applied for the use of 150 yards of metal for the ivnr angahapo contract.—The Engineer reported that there was none to spare.—Agreed that an answer be sent accordingly.

Plans for Approval.—John Aickin submitted plans of a house in Hepburn street for approval, which was granted. Thomas JBillington forwarded plans of a house in Putterson-street, and they were also approved of.

Nkwton Road.—C. F. Mann in quired when the' footpath in New ton Road would bo cut down from its present dangerous position.— The Engineer reported that when the culvert is being.extended the bank will bo cut down, and the earth utilised for filling in.—Agreed that an answer be forwarded accordingly, and the writer bo informed that the culvert is authorised.

Drainage in Wy,nyard-strket.—James Mackie again complained of the drainage from Mr Jones's property in Wynyard street running on to his property.—Tho Engineer reported that tho usual notice had been served upon Mr Jones to drain into tho Wynyard-streot pipe. Ho had visited tho place, and found that Mr Jones was already drained into Alton Road pipe, whilo his yard was concreted and clean. Both properties wore at one timo drained to Alten Road, and Mr Mackie, in altering this arrangement, cut Mr Jones's pipe, thus causing the drainage to flow on Mr Mackie's property. Tho mattor was not one for the Council, but was a question between the parties.—Agreed that an answer bo for warded in accordance with this memo.

Bank ok New Zealand Hoarding.— George Rhodes, jun., wrote, atating that having cleared away the hoarding in front of tho Bank of New Zealand, as per emptorily demanded by the Council, he now desired a less extended space, viz., width of the pathway for a period of ton weoks.—lt was agreed to lot tho applicant havo tho width of the footpath less 4ft., no that pedestrians should not Lio turned out on to tho roadway, and that tho term should bo for fivo wooks only. Compensation.—Connoll and Cooper, on behalf of J. W. Smith, omnibus proprietor, wrote, stating that owing to tho bad state of tho roadway in front of tho Wynyard Arms Hotel, their client had lost a horso, valued at £10, and they now demanded tho payment of tho amount in question.— Tho Engineer reported that no portion of tho work had been taken over by the Council from the contractor, and that he would thereforo be liable Soveral members held that, under these circumstances, the contractor was liable, but Cr. Crowther held that the liability could not be trans ferred from tho Council to tho contractor. At the same time, the stroet had always been passable, and thero must havo been carelessness somewhere if an accident had happened.—Agreed that tho writers be in formed that the Council has not taken ovor tho work from the contractor.

Verandah.—Edward Bartley, on behalf of Samuel Coombes, applied for permission to erect a vorandah in front of his premises in Queen-street.—Referred to Streets Com mittee.

Extension of Sewer.—Tho Secretary of the Harbour Board wrote stating that the Board had complied with the request of tho Council in reference to the proposed extension of the main sewer in a northerly direction. — Tho letter was ordered to be acknowledged, and tho wholo question of extonsion of main sewer was referred to tho Streots Com mittee.

Street Preaching.—Cr. Devore pre sented a further petition from 385 burgesses protesting against the proposed action of the Council in the direction of interfering with street preaching.—On the motion of Cr. Devorc, the Standing Orders were sus pended in order to pass a motion that the petition be received and considered with the five other potitions already received,— The whole question was thon gone into, and it was agreed after discussionthafc the by-law should bo retained.—The discussion is reported in another portion of this even ing's issue. Legal Committee.— The Committee re ported :—(1) Lector from Town Clerk, Dunedin, re maintenance Fire Brigade : That the Committee communicate with the writer, stating that tho opinion of the Coun cil is that a bill be presented to Parliament asking that the Insurance Companies con tribute to the maintenance of Brigades by a per-centage on amount of premiums re ceived within boroughs, and wliat per-cont ago they would suggest.—(2) Letter from S.

MR MOSS, M H.R., BEFORE HIS CONSTITUENTS.

Address In the Farnell Hall.

Pursuant to notice, Mr F. J. Moss ad dressed a meeting of his constituents in the I'arnoll Hall last night. The attendance was very meagre when the proceedings began, but it gradually increased until about 80 bersons were present. On the motion of Mr G. Co2eks, His Worship the Mayor (Mr D. H. McKenzie) was called to the chair, and the Chairman very briefly introduced the speaker of the evening.

Mr Moss was received with a round of applause. 'He said that he had never come i forward to address the electors of Parnell at a more momentous period than the pre sent. They had to face disordered finances, a disorganised Parliament, and deep and widespread discontent in many of the large centres of population. In view of these facts, he didnotpropose to take up much of their time in reviewing the past. There was, however, one matter of a somewhat personal character which he could hardly pass over in silence, inasmuch as it involved to some extent a relaxation of the ties that bound him to his party. A private bill was introduced into Parliament last session called the New Zealand Land Settlements Bill, and, like all such bills, it was in process of being engineered through the House, when he interfered. The reason of this was that it proposed to create a mqnopoly for a poworful company in the disposition practically of the native lands of the colony. It affected immediately no loss than 10,000,000 acres of land repre senting a value of £14,000,000 sterling. It was supported by many of ,'tho staunchest and ablest members of the Grey party, and it was therefore a delicate position in which ho was placed. He wrote and personally urged Sir George Grey to oppose it, but he felt that he had no right to push, him too far, as there were other members of his party favourable to the bill who, perhaps, had greater claims upon his consideration. He recognised, however, that his duty to his constituents must, in this caso, override all party obligations, but as he could not either consistently support the Govern ment in the matter, he refrained altogether from voting. He would have been content to let bygones be bygones, and pot have referred to the matter on this occasion, were it not for the fact that it was intended to revive the bill next ses sion. Its object was to promote the in terests solely of a combination of large capitalists, whose influence was felt in many other directions', asd if it came up again ha had no hesitation in saying that he would pursue the same policy of opposition to it that he had before. He did not know Sir Georgo Grey's views with regard to it, and he was inclined to think that when it came to a vote he would be found to be against it; but at any rate, his own course was clear, and would bo uninfluenced by that fact. In regard to licensing matters, he had felt disposed to promote the temperance movement to the best of his ability, but still he thought that we should now pause for a time, and let well alone. He did not believe in harrying the publican class, amongst which were as good, honour able, and right-thinking men as in any other body. One subject of urgent and vital importance upon which action should be taken was the prevention of the sale of» adulterated liquors, whose maddening and j poisonous effects were accountable for mostc of the evils attributed to indulgence in drink. Since the close of the session several political matters had engaged public attention, and amongst them that of federation. Well, this project was about played out so far as New Zealand was con cerned. It was preposterous to imagine that they would consent to depute to 15 gentlemen from the various colonies sitting in an obscure town the high and responsible task of determining the most important ot legislative questions, for federal questions must certainly be the highest and most vital to, each colony. After reading ex tracts from speeches by Sir Frederick Whitaker and Mr Graham Berry, stating that such questions as Pacific colonisations and Chinese labour would be the kind of subjects which should be set aside for determination by the Federal Council, Mr Moss went on to say that the people here would not so lightly allow to be filched from themselves the right of settling such matters in order that they might be left to the tender mercies of these IS all wise and rather presumptuous gentlemen meeting in Tasmania, He was sure that the people of New Zealand would never consent to such a thing, preferring rather to trust their own Legislature, bad as it was. Another thing that had recently come to light was that ugly fact a deficit—an accident of so serious a nature that few Governments ever survived it. This deficit would amount to £150,000 when Parliament met. Practically, how ever, it hod existed all the time the present Government had hold their seats, but it was carefully concealed. The railway

deficits had brought to light^ner dS, - ' agreeable fact. 6They hEoiTuS'w ' political purposes they hod be^,^ « , I a loss in certain parts of.theh onv ftn j ti now when a payable tariff w.-i *' 5 " cry ofeindignation arose from { favoured localities. The people of Canfc^ S they paid £80,000 more than thStat make other railways pay. Tliu uned j" people said that they had paitfiKnonft ! more than they shonld pay. TUestZ ' was whether the railways shouk£ e dealt with as a whole, or in sections. Btfooueht that no persons should be taxed uy ev | rv effort was mado to make the railu e D3 v os a whole. There were three railavsvet to be made, viz., the Otago Cenfl . [» Canterbury, the line from Hurunniw'jjj. son ; then the people of Auckland ejected to have their To Awamutu and S«thern trunk line. For the purpose of nietine 1 such temporary deficiencies, it haobeen 1 the rale for those that paid to be tafed to maintain those which were still in theiinon paying infancy. It was an >p e n secret, and had been so for a W; time past, that the Otago members lero seeking the co-operation of their Canterbiry brethren in refusing to authorise in i\tit& - the construction of any lines which wiu\,jy not prove fntfnediately payable. This co^. : bination would doubtless be effected, and;. ( the South Island cofirtnanded 55 votes ob M against the North Island's 36, the prospect? \ was not cheering. Then, too, as Welling- ?3 ton's interests were diametrically opposed ' on many points to those of Auckland, she V ■would not scruple to assist in any action- \ tending to the detriment of her rival. Still, in this matter, as in most others, he was in- • dined to trust to the sober good sense and fair play of the people at large. Various expedients were mooted tot improving the working of the railway system.. One was that they should be leased; but, in view of I the unfortunate position of the WalMea Railway Company, he did not look with much approval upon the project. Neither ':■ did he approve of the management of the . railvays by a so-called Non-political Board, .. because such a board, in all probability, Would become the masters of the people, I who would not have sufficient control over them. Another result of these deficits would be a great desire for wholesale re- | trenchment, and probably one of tho first things to be attacked would be the education vote. The Government could not ?jo ex pected to offer x... -nsition to this, seeing that one of the Ministers was an avowed Denominatlonalist of a pronounced , type. The present Cabinet was in no'senee indeed a popular one, and they owed the retention of their seats bo long to the crafty policy they had pursued. They had distributed their favours to well- ■") calculated effect, and their whole aha had m simply been to "out-do Grey." They had ■:' even now carried out all his measures, in order to claim the credit for themselves, and they had realised all his political aspirations to a degree that Sir George him self could never have expected to achieve in the teeth of auch a powerful opposition. 1 Taxation proposals would also be forth- m coming when Parliament met, but he did not ' anticipate that the propertied classes, who should be compelled to contribute more fairly to the revenue, would be much affected thereby. Let the electors consider the financial position. Out of a total je venue—say of £3,920,000, there was £1,750,000 to be met for fixed charges. , These must be met, whatever happened. ; ; :j Then there was a sum of £670,000 for the 9 working of railways. Experts said that the railways of the colony could not be worked for much less. Therefore, very little reduc- - tion could be anticipated in this direction. 1 Then there was £370,000 for education. Whatever might be the result, he earnestly j protested against any tampering with the ■ education vote—a matter that so nearly A touched tho future1 well-being of the people. It was certain, too. that they would hear a good deal upon the large" question of the' nationalisation of tho land. The. vision. I was assuredly a beautiful Pn9i but ;; he did not think that it w°a'd I be realised in our lifetime. It Wi?nW be extremely hard, he considered, for tbO ; " owners of property to lose it suddenly, and be obliged thenceforth to pay a rental for it. He looked*, tlpon the scheme for this ■;.">■ reason as impracticable, and in saying so ho reminded the meeting that he had con- : sistently, in all his addresses to his;, constituents, raised the voice of ■ warn-^s ing against the efforts of the land ." monopolists. The danger arising from the accumulation of large estates, did not - ! menace us very closely now, but he advised . , the public to look ahead Ot the time, when mt instead of a population of 500,000, New"* Zealand would have fully 5,000,000 souls within her borders. Then the large land owners would practically control the liberties of their servants and degrade them , to a servile position. The readiest way of preventing such a condition of thingß would be by a system of local rating upon land alone without any reference to the buildings upon them. It would have the effect of splitting up large estates, while avoiding the calamity of restricting legiti mate improvements. It was a great wrong that the owners of great suburban estates ' should practically go , unrated. The Surrey Hills Estate which ~ took £100,000 merely to cut up and | place in the market had only paid at the | rate of £300 a year as taxes, simply because | it was termed agricultural land. -They | should insist in the future upon the Govern- ff| ment taking steps to break up these over-.' grown estates, as hitherto all private bills for that purpose had been jostled out by ' Government measures purporting to be de- : ■ signed for the same end. The law of fixtures too was a most absurd one arid required amendment. As regarded the native policy | of the Government, he altogether disap-/ proved of it. They had no right to foster a class of large native landlords when the | country was so averse to a cognate class of large European landlords. Yet they were just doing this, and periodically bags of monoy were being taken taken to Panhak* " and Rotorua for payment in respect of the lands which the Government, were so i notoriously maladministering. The Go vernment were, in fine, reducing the j natives to the position of wards, while at f tho same time they refused to recognise . I their own rosporisibilitos as guardians. The natives, however, woro quite able to take care of themselves, and should be al lowed to do so. Another question that I wag sure to arise was as to the Insurance Department; Well, lie knew something . | about it, as ho was chairman of a committee lost session which examined into the matter. | Ho compiled a report embodying the re- ■ suite of the enquiry, but the majority of ■ the committee consisted of Ministers and ' ? their friends, and they were averse to any' : disclosures being made, and the result was • I that the report was laid aside and the com mittee was dispersed. At I Mr George Thome, junior, to" use an - ■ expressive Americanism " bossed the whole . Departmental concern, Commissioner, Go-' vornment, and all. He was a clever fellow, I and he was making an exceedingly good, i thing out of it, come £3,000 a-year, indeed, I of late. The entire subject would have to 1 bo enquired into, but, in saying tin's, he I wished emphatically to state that he had no I doubt as to the perfect soundness of the t •' Department. Insurers had no reason for apprehension on this account. As a young gg man he had strong Conservative convic tions, but, on seeing the painful contrast I between luxury and wretchedness—plenty and penury which London presented in a . \ small scope, he had become one of tfie 1 strongest of Radicals, and he had remained 1 so ever since. Throughout his career in 1 New Zealand he had never lost an oppor- I tunityof safe-guarding the popular interests and in getting the paramount power M placed .in the hands of the . people,,' : as opposed to its appropriation by - s special classes. The most deadly blow ■•, that had yet been struck at the popular in ierests in this colony was the abolition of ' Jjhe provinces; and in opposing that step *M had followed the lead which Sir George Grey, by his eloquence, ability, position,. I and character, was so well qualifiodto hold, m Within the lost few years, however, we bad made great strides in the desired direction, and the time was again at hand when the ■ | supremacy of the people should be still | further advanced. Wo still needed the law -1 that every man in the community should..:, have but one vote and no more, and we 1 ought not to rest until we got it. In the 1 payment of the members reposed another , / safeguard of popular interests, inasmuch a3 " it provided men of capacity, but. without 1 corresponding means, with tho opportunity I of seiving their country. In connluding.Mr 1 Moss reminded his hearers that on, ■'" all the questions he had indicated there I would be combinations shaped and pro- • moted by local considerations, and by §§ avowing that he was not one of those who would sacrifice his constituents for 11 large and vague Colonial considerations. M I rue, he would be actuated by a close regard i tor the real welfare of the people at large;.?! and he hoped that in future, as in the past, he would be found faithful to the views he I• I had always professed. '. r On the motion of Mr Geo. CozJiNS, . seconded by Mr Pollard, a vote of thanks ' and confidence was passed by acclamation .. to Mr Moss, who suitably responded. ! The assemblage dispersed aftoraccording U\i a vote of thanks to the Chairman.
