Thk Act Gallkby.—A long letter wbb received from Grainger and DTEbro (archi tects foi tho Art Gallery). They claimed that tho tenders recently Bent in for tbc work proved tho correctness of their state ments throughout that the work could be completed for the sum named by them. The exports who had reported to the con trary must, they supposed, be surprised at the looseness of their pricing, and they considered that all through the matter there had been an antagonistic feeling towards them which had placed the Council in a false position. They were confident that had the original working plans been carried out in entirety, the city would have been graced with a better building in every sense of tho term, tho details having been fully consid orcd. They had been considerable sufferers in reputation and pocket by the advers. commonts passed upon them, and conse quont delays. Theirs was a just case for monetary consideration. However, they wero perfectly satisfied to leave tho matter of compensation entirely in tho hands of tho Council and their representative, Mi Wodo, who would arrange in conjunction with themselves to carry out the work. Tho letter was accompanied by an account for £694 19s, viz: £200 premium ; £487 12s commission; and £7 7s telegrams, etc. In tho course of a short discussion it wae pointed outthat Messrs Grainger and D'Ebro had nothing to complain of; that they had shown a disposition to scamp the work to bring the cost ot building according to their plans within the limit of cost.—The lettei was referred to the Library Committee. Legal Committee.—This Committee re commended :— (1) Re water,cricket ground: That water be laid on from cricket ground to most suitable position for public use.— (2) Cemetery (Waikomiti): Engineer to prepare a sectional [plan as soon as ground is cleared and pegged out as per plan; a forty-feet road be the width between each section. (3) Building Regulations : That all applications for buildings in rear of any others be referred to the Council, and the necessary legislation be obtained to deal with this matter. (4) Re fresh-water baths, Albert-street: That tenders be called for.— The report was adopted. FiNAHOB Committee.—This Committee submitted an interim report, recommending (1) payment of £3,700 16s 4d in connection with Improvement Trust; (2) that the sum of £50 yearly be charged for propor tion of office expenditure ; (3) that Cr. Upton's name be substituted for Mr A. Fleming's, as a Sinking Fund Commissioner; that the Committee have authority to sign cheques for wages and contracts on Wed nesday next, to enable them being paid on Thursday. Clause 2 was struck out, and the report was then adopted. Kirby's Contract.—A report from the City Engineer stated that during last week work only to the amount of £27 10s had been done on the Franklin Road con tract, and that, no improvement had taken place in pushing on the works. He had given notice that the Council had now taken over the works, and would complete them in terms of conditions. He had heard that Mr Kirby had made an assignment to his creditors, and that they were likely to apply for leave to complete the contract.— Cr. Devore stated that at a meeting of Kirby's creditors two of them—viz., Messrs Craig and Lovett—had agred to carry on the contract, and it would be to the Coun cil's advantage to allow them to do bo. It was resolved to direct the Engineer to carry ■ out the decission of the Council to finish , the work in the most expeditious way, em ' ploying whom he thought desirable. Rough Pitchers.— Cr. Goldie asked: Whether there had been any departure from the specifications of tho Franklyn Road and College Hill contracts substituting rough pitchers for a portion of the metal; and if so, to what extent.— lhe Engineer replied that in Franklin Road, since the contract was let, he had substi tuted pitchers in bottom, 7 inches deep, and 5 inches of metal on top, all rolled with the steam roller, in lieu of 9 inches of m'efal, as he found a pitched bottom to be necessary to stand the roller. This change cost nothing. There had been no change so far as College Bill was concerned^ Newton Road —It was agreed that enough earth be taken out of section 53 to fill up the gully in Newton Road, property owners paying the half cost agreed upon. Public Pound.—Superintendent Thom son wrote, pointing out the undesirability lof abolishing the public pound.—The letter was referred to the Legal Committee. Cab Fakes.—Cr. Devoro moved, " That tho question of fares for the hire of cabs be referred to the Finance Committee to ! consider, and report to this Counoil." The ' motion was seconded and carried. Geafton Road.—Cr. Mackechnie moved, "That resolution of the Council, dated 24th January, 1884, as to asphalting footway Grafton Road from the Bowling Green to Kyber Pass be now fully carried out, and the footway asphalted throughout." Agreed to. Legal Data.—Cr.Goldie'smotion, "That copies of all laws passed by the Legislature to date dealing, with local matters be supplied to Councillors for their guidance," was referred to the Legal Committee. The rough minutes were read, and the Counoilroae. : DON'T DIE IK THE HOUSE, v &,,#■ m r,u«
