To recommend in what way the overdraft shall be met in the event of the ward advancing the money requiring the same for carrying out any authorised works. To report as to the desirability of limiting the amount of works in wards whose portion of the loan has been already expended or works now authorised to the extent of their allocation. Also, to consider the whole question of hypothecation re loan." The Mayor said he moved tho motion with out identifying himself with it more than its general purport indicated. He might men tion that he had not yet received the legal opinion on the matter.—Cr.

Garratt _ motion.

This concluded the business,
