HOBSON-STREET LEVELS.

A siEEMNCi of the owners of property in llobson-strcot was hold at the Governor 1 Browne Hotel last evening, for tlio purposo cf con&idoring the proposed cutting. There wore about 20 per-sona present. Mr Cameron occupied the chair. Mr Pn.NNiNGHAM said that before the business of the ovening was entered upon, he wished to know if ft was doeirab le that the press representatives should bo allowed to remain. The meeting was of a private character and lie understood that several of tho-o present objected to express their views publicly. Since the meeting bad been called, however, a special committeo of (ho City Council had mot, and a letter had been received from the Town Clork, announcing that it had been rosolvod to adjourn consideration ot the Hobson-etroet lovols until Monday, property-owners to bo invited by cir cular to meet th» committee on that day. ]lv Ruggrpted that an opinion should be rxnrewtd as t0 tllo bosl niethod of procedure Ho moved that tho preen representatives bo excluded. Mr Biwjianan thought they should do ovorythilig a« publicly as possible, but seconded tho motion pro forma. Tlio question was put, and only tho mover votod in its favour. Mr Buchanan said that the present meeting could not bo callod a representa tive mooting of Hobsonstreot proporty owners, anri considered it usolosb to come to any docision They might, however, get a few private views to guido their repre sentative in tho matter. Tho Chairman said that all were agreed that a grado of 1 in 10 would be the most advantageous and best to cliooho if it wero possiblo ; but if that could not bo obtained thoy should take the next best grade before tho Council. Mr HoWDEN said, although he was "out of it," ho considered that tho very best and easiest grado should bo given to Hobson street. If thoy wanted to make a good entrance from tho water they must have a lino easy grade, if possible I in 10. Captain Ni'ATUNd thought tho previous speaker was not "out of it," for those whoso properties wero higher up tho street would rccoivo benefits as well as tho?o lower down, and tho former should endeavour to have tho grado us easy as they possibly could. The prceont was tho proper time, and overyono intorestod should do their utmost to have tho work dono. If not now done, it would never be, for in a fow years now buildings would bo orocted and compensation claims would.increase Every man should do his utmost towards having a good grade made. As for himself, ho was willing to give £1 a foot frontago to get it. The CiiAUiMAN thought discussion should be confined to consideration of the different grades. That of 1 in l(i had beon aban doned by tho North Ward members, who had substituted tho nqxt best of 1 in 14. Cr. Montague explained that the North Word representatives had abandoned the grado of 1 in 15 J simply on financial grounds, tho allocation at their disposal, £9,000, being insufficient, Thoy wero fully awaro of tho importance of Hobson-street having an easy grade, but this was not the only street in the ward. Kocont disclosures' respecting the ttato of funds precluded tliom from going into tho London markot for somo years, and thoy had to sot to work on what funds they had Thoy did this, and found that a grado 1 in 10 was impossible, not so much on account of the compensation in Hobson stroet as in tho side-stroots. They inter viewed property-owners in tho district, and found that it would take £25,000 to do this work, so that it bocamo a sheer impos sibility. It was necessary that something of should bo done, so himself, his colleagues, :'»and tho Mayor held a consultation, at ■e< which it was decided that that grade was o, thoroughly impossible Mr Glecson had , made a concussion by which the grado could bo mado 1 in 14 from his placo to Durham street, and thonco 1 in 40 to Vic toria ;<treot, tho total cost of which would amount to about £S,OOO. This thoy could do, and they placed the proposals before the Council as a settlement of the difficulty, proportyownors boing unwilling to allow their lands to bo idlo for an indefinite period. Thoro was no ongircoring diih • culty. simply a quostion of finance. Tho rateable valuo of tho ward was £81,000, and if thoy levied a shilling rato (which could not bo legally done), it would not mako up tho deficiency. In reply to questions, Cr. Montaguo said that ! ■}■;■-respect of tho 1 in 15£ grade tho coiiircnfation and reinstatement as far as burhaitf-fitrsft would aiiicunt to about £2,'2W, exclusivo of £1,700 for cutting, und as far as Victoria-stroot compensation would bo about £5,577, not including Wyndham-street claims. Mr Buchanan was quite willing that the property owners should bo taxed }>ro raid. It was of no use for one or two of them to give £1 a foot, which would not help them out of tho dilik'ulty. Any oxtra rato would have to be voluntary on tho part of property owners, Mr Reksinc said that only ono practical sug ges-tion had boon made, viz,, that of Captain Wearing Tho only way out of tho difficulty was tor overyone to show a proper spirit, and not to want to tako an advantage from their neighbours' troubles. Ho thought there should be n meoting of ratepayers from Karangabapo Koad to Customs-street, and that they should tax themselves to contribute so much per foot, and so get tho work dono. Mr luND moved, " That it is desirable that If obson-street bo cut to a grado of 1 in 10. He felt confident that by a very great effort this could bo carried out. This grade ran out to nothing at Victoria-street; the main trouble was with Wyndham street and tho slopo to Chapel-street. Dur ham-street had only wooden housos. Mr (jLKKson said that, no doubt, somo would be willing to contribute £4 a foot, but ho did not boliovo that others would give £1 per foot. 110 understood that Mr Dunmngham and Mrs Coombes had the biggest claims for compensation, and he would like to know their views. Mr Dunninoham said it was hardly necessary to say anything with regard to his. cuso. Llo had beon put to an oxpendi ttiro of £2,000, and tho Enginoor aud Mr Watson had said that ho was entitled to £050, which a judgment of Justice Williams prevented him from receiving. Ho would now be put to groat expense, but he would be prepared to accept any modified grade, g Cr. Montague esii tha,tMessrs Buchanan, Dunningham, Coombes, Hawkosivood, and Marshall woro tli6 great obstructionists. If they could bo arranged with, tho work would bo greatly facilitated. They claimed £(i,OOO for compensation and reinstatement; Mr Marshall having opposed any cutting beyond his buildings in Wyndham-street, which meant their purchase, at a cost of £3,000. • Mr Biugiiam thought that if this was the only difliculty, it could bo easily got over. Mr Dionan pointed out that it was only ono of many. Mr Pond's motion was then put and carried. ; Mr DuNKiNiiUAM moved, "That in the 1 event of tho grade of 1 in 16 not being ' attainable, that the noxt grado of 1 in 12s; to Swanson-streot and 1 in 11 to Durham street bo adopted." I Mr Glke.son seconded. < After somo discussion tho motion was withdrawn, also another motion made by Dr. Hoopor, to the eil'ect that, in tho ovent of a grado of 1 in 10 boing unattain able, any amended grade bo acceptod, In roply to Mr Dunningham, Cr. MONTAGUE said that the Council did not intend to withdraw their oiler of re instatement made to him. Votes of thanks woro passed to the Chairman, and to Messrs Montague and Dignan, tho North Ward members, for their attendance, after which the meeting terminated.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Governmental Extravagance.

(To tho Editor).

Sik, —Lcaguos innumerable, social purity, CD. repoal, railway reform, &c. ; but no league against tho wasteful extravagance slowly and surely strangling the colony. Tho Treasurer and the Premier aro both the creatures of circumstance, and have pro pared tho colony for tho news —no news to many—that the trunk line.loan is forestalled - oar-marked with a vengeance. If it has not been trenched upon to pay the quarter's intorest due in London on 15th October, it will certainly be used on 15th January ; and tho saying as to spilt milk will apply. The Treasurer many a time has by four and a half months anticipated tho raising of a loan by drafts at ninety days on tho Crown agents for raising tho loan. Neither Atkinson, Vogcl, Hall, nor Urinond could do otherwise the exigencies of the Treasury require it, and tho news is broken gently. Last session thoro was an awakening to the position, but tho man of grit and iron will has not yet appeared to check the waste, nor will lio until tho failure of representative government in this colony is acknowledged. Jn tho " London Times " it is stated that Cape Colony has in working order i,5(J^ miles of railways, representing an outlay of £)4,355,(i00. During the first six months of this year, the railwajs have yielded suf ficient to pay all maintenance and working expensoe, and left 3J per cent, towards paymont of intorest on tho capital expended lor construction. Tho average schoolboy can see that with loans raised at 4 per cent., Cape Colony is developing tho country at a cost of £72,000 pur annum, with an improving property asaset-offagainst that present taxation. In Canada the taxa tion is £1 Gs 7d per head ; United States, £1 (is 4d; Cape of Good Hopo, £1 4s 2d ; New Zealand, £3 18s (id ; therefore the grindstone is bound to disfigure our noses unless we repudiate, which Heaven for fund. Waste and extravagance permeate our Government, Harbour Board, and City Council. If it employs 20 clerks at Wel lington to keep the accounts between Charitable Aid, County Councils, Koad Boards, Harbour Boards, &c, &c, is it not waste? And would not those clerks bo better employed at Waihi or Kamngahake with pick and shovel? A bus with the multi farious Government, and let tho colony drop down to what it can afford—a council of ten, with Sir William Jervois as tho re sponsible iiead. " Vossels seeking freights may lie in the docks of the newly-deepened port of Swansea for seven days.freeof all tolls and dues, provided thoy perform no opera tion," so runs the " Times" advertisement. It is to be feared our thriftlessnees will not enable the Auckland Harbour Board to offer many privileges to ship-owners. What the Council of Ten would do would be to tauo a scratchy pen and write a decree that the Harbour Board's now oflices should be tho Custom Hotifo and Harbour oflices, mid that tho site reserved for Cu.stoin Houso should bo sold, and proceeds go in reduction of debt or taxation, or a lighthouse in JToveaux Straits. Tho Harbour Board might possibly object to bavo unwelcome neighbours thrust upon them. Like tho measles, tney would survive it. Whose money is it the Board, City Council, and Government administer? Is it not ours-tho colony's —and are we not damnified by waste? Tho waste in railway administration is notorious. Example: " A subordinate ollicor could Bavo ono thousand a year on a small section of railway, if he roceived a tithe of it as acknowledgment for ability, but whilst promotion is based upon patron age, thoso reforms aro unfledged."—l am, &c. Economist.

Hobson-street Levels.

(To tho Editor),

Sik, —Tho thanks of tho community aio due to you for your able article in yester day's paper on the proposed alterations of tho levels of Hobson-street, and the manner in which you pointed out tho importance of considering this a city more than a ward question. Nothing could more clearly show the serious evils of tho present ward system (when applied to large city improvements) than the reluctance of Councillors representing other wards to interforo with tho proposal of Cr. Montague, although all admitted it was a great pity to spoil the street by not making it a grade of 1 in 10 rather than I in 12J, and were it not for the action of Mr Holdship in oppos ing the foolish and more than use less proposal, the street would have been spoiled, and the public would have known but little about the matter Until too late to remedy the evil. Possibly, if Mr Holdship had not beon a new inomber, and ignorant of the comfortable and ea«y system boing pursued, ho too might have felt a reluctance in trespassing upon other members' domains. Be this as it may,l am certain his action will do good, not only in making tho public awaro of the attempt to Bpoil for over ono of the kading streets of our city, but in bringing to light tho pernicious ward system. Another serious evil is the fear of losing the money allocated from loan (by its being borrowed by othor wards and not repaid), which urges the spending-often on works not tho most important, or at the most ap propriate time. When the last largo loan was raised it was not intended to rush the spending as is being dono, nor is thoro a need, seeing the Coun cil receive more interest for money on fixed deposit than they pay on loan. For the spending of ordinary revenue, repairs of streets, and ordinary business, the ward s>stem may do ; but large works affecting the interest of tho whole city, such as Hobson street, Emily Place, drainage, levels and grades of streets abutting on the harbour, requiro to bo discussed and con sidered by Councillors ns a city not a ward question,—Yours, &0., Citizen.— Oct. 27.

Dissenters.

(To the Editor.)

Sik,—"Southern Cross," in your issue of October i'Cth, >- a j ecs i the question as to what is meant by tho term "dissenter." Tho question is very, simply answered. All Englishmen who do not belong to the Church of England are dissenters. Tho Church of England is the National Church, consequently every unit in the nation, from tho fact of his boing an Englishman, belongs to the Kstabliehcd Church. England being a free country, every ono is allowed to go to shool his own way, and each separate individual can, if he pleases, sot up his own little tab ernacle, and form a church by himself ; but so long as the Church of England remains the National Chinch, so long is it the church of the nation, and of every indivi dual in it, and all those who set up big or little Bethels outside of it aro Dissentors. It is not a question of Episcopal or non-Epis copal Churchos, as your correspondent con tends, but it is a national political fact.—l am, &c, Empirb.

Sih, — Your correspondent, "Southern Cross," says in Monday evening's paper: " A disponter is one who dissents from the Established Church, more particularly the Church of England." A dissenter is onu who dissents from tho Church of the Realm, as by law established, and the Church of England herself can only be a dissenting church in any country where the Episcopal is not the estab lished church. In the colonies, there being no Established Church, it natur ally follows there can bo no dissenters. For the same reason Bishop Cowie is "imply Bishop of Auckland by courtesy, and has no legal claim to tho title, nor to sign him self W.G. Auckland, not being a spiritual peer.^ I remember some years ago one of tho Scotch Episcopal Bishops being sum moned beforo a committee of the Houso of Lords, The Lords refused to receive him as Bishop of Argylo and the Isles, only as Bishop Ewen, of tho Episcopal Church of Arglyeand the Islos, that Church, not by tho Church of the realm of Scotland, as by law established,—Yours, otc, Fair Play.

Sir,—Had "Southern Cross'favoured tho Synod with his presence, he would have seen that the "highly complimentary and eulogistic speech " which theSTAßattributed to me was not for tho Sunday School Union, but for tho Book Depot, which I told the clergy, was admirably supplied with the best Church of England books, although managed by men who were diteonters from us Anglicans. The word "dissenters" was used innocently and in advertently, accompanied by no reproachful tone or feeling, but exactly the reverse. I revere the Sunday-school Union, and sir, as for 40 yeara I have loved and worked with_ men of all shades of ecclesiastical opinion, I shall not alter now. I nover reproached one Christian for not belonging to my Church.—l am, Ac, ' "
