Mr Maxwell says Mr Vail a has never cuuiicinded any scheme of "inn'Mg-.r-et'-t," but only so>»o ''uUrv.-iYgahtiy-'exproisseil opinions on tire subject (it rates and faro., ■•■■■ii'ly unsupported by fuels, and wiLh many errors and misstatements.

Mr Maxwell proceeds to say: "It is diffi cult to seriously discuss the iticon-isteiieics ami misstatements with which Mr Vaile's writings abound, When ho suggests that it -oats no more to carry a ton ci passengcfi-s than lo carry a ton of coals, ho is writing iionsonce, though he may not bo nwaro of it When he says '(ho loss on our railways increased from i.lSp,S.*ir> in I.b'l to j.377,13d in ISS-1, and at this rate wo should in ISSS require 112,060,000 to siippoit.oui' railways,' ho is making a stuteuiont which is mis leading, and drawing a conclusion 'which' is false, lie may or may not be awaro of this. In either case ho is equally untrust worthy as a guide, and consequently should forfeit nil claim to tho respect nf intelligent men as an authority.'1 Mr Maxwell then quotes from Mr Vailo's letter dated 14th July, l.SS.'i, six serious errors in dislanco, on which some c<>.a: raiis are based. Ho pro ; cecils to anahsj Mi- Vuil.'s proposed goods rules, and lemark'* : "Grain would bo charged for lii niilus Ills a ton ; the present Government rate is -Is." Mr Max woll quotes from Mr Vaile's let let's and oir cu ar-s to prove that he had materially matoiiitlly nllorod hi, original proposals, and tv,il_ Mr, Vailo with Staling in -Inly, 15.5, that I.i- proposals had never been alt jail, iiu quo'.es from the report of Mr Vaile's addrn-. before tho Napier '.'lumber ot ('.nitnercc in show that he had laiied lo pnb.ish any ■• - lis rates. Mr Mux well ?ays this s'atimcut is no! borne out by the fac'.s, but at any late ■' it i« an rv.kno-.v luigni' nt of failure.

Of the remaining journey;,, i.iy fai the larger proporli in .ro for distance's under 10 miles, for which Mr Vaile's piopo.als pioviilo either inerca-'eii fares in-fares not very materially dilluing from those prevailing, So that no practical iunt'H-G in pashcugur trullic could bo expected by ndnpting Mr Vaile's proposals in these respects, Mr Vuilo has do- | cuived liiiuclt and misled others by his I averages. Tho only portion uf tho passr-n- I iters that Mr Vaile's pro, o. Ed faios would i largely affect are thoso travelling beyono di-tunooe of ten miles, lie proposes tares which may average, according to his oven views, about one-lifth tho prosont faros. I'ho lon^-dislunco travellers form a small proportion only of tlio ordinary lick.t travcllers, but, beinu charged nt a uniform scale of tare, thoy bri-ir not, lc*s than two thirds of tho total ordinaly tieket-ravonue, While, therefore, tho number of passengers is small in proportion t» tho total ordinary ticket passengers, tho rovonuo al'i'ected is large in proportion to the total revenue. While we could expect no practical cfl'ecfe in passenger traflic within shorl distances, ivo should have to increase the number of ong-distance passengers five times to get :ho samo rovenue from that sour.o. If such \ passongor traffic did arise, there ivould bo a heavy loss, as passongors could iot bo prolitably carried for such long dis ;ances at such low faros, with the eondi dons under which .wo are working. Tho demand made for lower fares, rates, tucl charges is a natural ono, and ir. ia ouo .vhich the Government and its officers must llwnys bu muM, desirous of meeting, be muss tho granting of concessions and •omedyi'ng of grievancea aro always lopular, and therefor, grateful to those in .-oiitiol as well us to the public. Last year Jiu railways yielded X'."i.*i,"), Ij_.">, after deduci ng working expenses, which sum was ivailablo towards tho payment of interest in tho loans. This amount was about- i),'! ior eont. of tho gross revenue. If, thon, ho rates and fares worn lowered by iboufc 33 per cent., all round, ivo night expect tlmt the rovonno would list cover working expensos, and here would bo no no. proeeods .vailable towards payment of interest, nd thiii-o would be an additional piitu of ',■5.-5,000 or thereabouts to be raised by axation. If the colony is of opinion, with ■Ii- Vailo, that it is a mischievous error to ry to mako the 'railways pay intcre*. on heir capital cost, it is quito cu.y to reduce he rates, fare., and charges so as to make o profit, A -eeond-clo-,. single fare for ighty-four miles is now lis Bd.. If it were educed by 32 per cent, it would be 7s Bd. Ir Vailo proposes to make- it Is Sd. Vo must be clear on thii point. Wo have ecu that, wore faros, rates, and charges re uced all round by 33 por cent., wo might xpect to realise no profit, and additional axation in some form, to tho extent of bout .€355,000 a year, would bo needed to ay interest. It is easy to ace that if they 'cro reduced all round, ns Mr Vaile sug esbs, a further large sum would havo to bo \ised to pay the ijoficiency of tho .revenue clow tho cost of working. "The question is asked by Mr Vaile, 'If pplyiug the law of averages has beon so .iccessful in tho cases of letters, parcels, ud telegrams, why should it not succeed i the case of railways ?' There Is a .range confusion of ideas in classing tho •aneniission of telegrams with the con ayanco of goods. It sounds liko a Bug. eetion that the transKiission of telegrams lould be by tho ton. A. regards letters, ittoia st a uniform postage of 2d ich will cost about .£OOO per ton to •ansmit. Thoy will at this rate be oarriad om Auckland «ith«r t_ ©mhnnga, or the

BlufT. Thoro is a material difference In dealing with letters or with parcels of light weiuht and with goods. In the former the clement of weight only affects the post of | operations in a moat trilling doeree in pro portion to the oHior elements which deter mine tho cost of working Iho Po.t-olhce. tn railway goods trallic tho bulk and Weight rank as chief factors in mailing up tho oost of r-onvey.we."

NEWMARKET BOROUGH COUNCIL.

*.pe_*al Meeting for Striking a Kate.

A sr-KciAi. mooting of the above body was held la*! evening for the purposo of striking a rata. J.re.ent i-His Worship the Major, Councillors .Mason, Lumpkin, Whiskey Clayton, Bdgerly, Morgan, Byshop, and Taito, The Mayor stated that it had been found that spcciil legislative powers were necessary to enable tho Conn- , cil to strike the rate. Accordingly, through the kindness of tlio Minister of Justice, two clauses bad been inserted in tho Hating Ac. Amondmon. Act, ISSS, which gave tho Council tlio necessary powers. A special meeting had been called for Fri day last, but upon gathering together it was found that tho word "special" had been omitted from tho notice paper for warded to Cr. Clayton. With regard to that, ho would like to remark that all notices had been urmdo out in his presence by tho Town Clerk, and special care was taken with tho papers for warded to Crs. Clayton and Jenkins. He was positivo that the word "special" had boon inserted in Cr. Clay ton's and ho did not know whether tho Town (Jlerk had been conniving with that gentleman, or whether tho word had been erased. Ho was 10 sa.tsli.d that this word had been inserted that he put his order paper to a chersical test and succeeded in erasing the word " special " without leaving any mark, He would not. for a moment insinuate that this j had been practised by Cr. Clayton, but ho Jrti- positive that something must havo boon done. As Cr. Clayton had attended tho meeting, ho hr>«] evidently accepted'tlio notice, and he (tlio c, u.kcr) waa sorry that Cr, Clayton had no. shown moro consider* tion for the time of the Councillors than to withdraw from the meeting, He then read the classes relating to the spscial rating powers granted to the New market Borough Counoil.—Cr. Clayton said that if tjhe Mayor tvi»k«d to insinuats that

he had erased the word "special" from his paper, he could say that such a thing he was not guilty of. Ho had not noticed that tlio Word " special " had bet-ti omitted from bin paper Until lie entered tho Council Chamber, He considered that it was un becoming of the Mayor to insinuate such mi nction to him.—Tho Mayor explained that he had said that he did not think thai Cr. Clayton, or any other Councillor, would bo guilty of such a mean, contemptible action.— Tho Mayor moved andCr Clayton scoonded, ■'That, it U hlio intention of the Borough Council of Newmarket t.o meet at S p.m. oin .-'riday, the Oth of October proximo, in o.der to make a rate of "d in tho £ on tho rntoublo valuo of all proporly -within the borough for the year ending .'Ust March, l.ssii, in terms of the Hating Act, ISS-, Amendment Act, ISSfi, tho same to bo pay able in one sum to tho Collector at the Borough Council Oilioc, Newmarket, on tho llllh day of October next eii-uing, and that tlio rate roll will be open for inspection by ratepayers at tho Borough Council OMieo, Kowmarket Hall ' Alter somo dis cussion this was carried unauimou.-ly. tn rejily io a ijucstion from Cr, Edgerly, too Mayor statid that the prawnt rateable value of the bur n uh was CIIS.BS7, from which the rales would amount to t'.'!7l Kls. To till-" might, bo added arrears &")(), nnd dlig-iollai-s i'-2,i, making a total of £.4(i 10s Poll on* Loan For. Boßonnit. It was re.i.lved that a clerk be paid to assist the lleturniiig Ollioor on Saturday during the pillfo'.' tho rtbove purpose. It was further decided to issue a number of handbills specifying the jmrpose for which the loan was icqi.il> d.— As Cr. Cliyton was still not salisiiul with regard to ihe leg"! powers of the Council to raise this loan, it \yas l-esoived that the Mayor should. w.«it on Messrs Hesketh mid Kichinond, a.id obtain a legal opinion upon the matter. ■ '_.:; —t. ... s -.
