MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS.

Brett, G. Aickin, M']tton H. Chwnborlain vailed upon the and v l{ichiird.-oii (Minister for I'ublic • v,\ "at 11 SO this morniiiß to point out that had boon mot with VT Ul"ocutionof their undertaking "Tho deputation having been introduced MrMvTCHKWOS, ])roceodcd to stato the J MliUoaundorwhiclithoy woro labouring, JE arose from defective location K-h nrocluded tlio Company from uvnil- IT themselves of their endowment, an llrity fortho.lobonti.ros they prouoMil to ijcuii^^ t)|o j nst g ession of Parlmmont fmilir defective losWation was urgod by «•, Tulius Vogel as tho principal reason hv'tho Governmcot should roliovo the Strict Railway Company'a in tho South Thnr by enabling them to hnanco or b> ♦Tin? the linos over altogetlior. Anothor Jfficulty the Company had to contend with s caused by nn error mado in the csti attiA cost of constructing the lino by the Ser sent up from WelHnßton for t?At Durposo. Hia timo being limited, ha simply mado a flying survey, and . consequence greatly undor-oatimated "_. t j, a( j been carofully ascertamod to be ~ actua l cost. Tho deputation therefore ,ked whether tho iSovornment could so Lend the contract as to correct what was obviously an error in calculation. Foiling ither of these requests boing complied oith it wmlld be difficul? t0 I'iianoo L the construction of the line. Already ' £10,000 had boon spent by tho Com anv linger the impression that they would Cable to financo in the mannor preicribod It the Act, and unless tho difficulties that hid now arisen were removed, tho opera tions of tho Company would liavo to be suspended. An alternative course that mignt be pursued was for the Government to guaranteo a limited amount of the debentures of tho Company, thus en abling them to construct a first section say of]smilesor thoreabouts. Woro this done, and say Por cont- debentures to the ex tent of £50,000 guaranteed by tho Govern ment, then the Company would be able j 3 proceed with the construction of the line. Its importance to tho Go- Taniment could hardly bo undor-ratod, imumuch ns it open up to sottlomont a quarter of a million acres of Crown land, to which there was no access at present except on foot through the bush. Tho incronsed nJiie given to this block by tho proposed nilway would suffice to pay tho whole cost d construction. J[r Richardson, in reply to these ropre (stations, said that the Government would be averse, he felt assurred, from eotortnin foz »ny proposal that would involvo the •anting of further concessions in land |) the Company. And as for amending \rhathe admitted to have been a mistaken estimate of the cost of construction it would bsneesesary to ask tho consent of Parlia ment to that course, and as privato contracts for the construction of railways »ere not generally popular in the Houso, le qnostioned whether any relief could be obtained in that quarter. In viow ofall the circumstances, however, ho would undertake to consent to a Government guarantee being givon for say £ 50,000 worth oi the Company's debentures, but in tho present disturbed state of affairs ibroad no Minister could bo expected to absolutely pledge himself in tho my of finance. This part of tho question was one which would largely reit with the Colonial Treasurer's depart ment, He gathered from tho report of Mr Knorpp, the Inspecting Engineer in the North Island, and ho had ctrerally gone into the matter that a sum of £30,000. in addition to the £10,000 which the Company had already spent, would enable them to construct tho first Section of the line rod open it for traffic. That dono, tho Company could then avail themselves of a pportionate amount of their ondowmonts in terns of tbo contract, and therewith complete the lino. TO dotation thanked tho Minister for tho taKiablo manner in which ho had ro- OTdWtproposals, and then withdrew. BlUway to Penroso. A imams consisting of Messrs Darga rfflf( MfcJielson, Morrin, Brett, and Mck®, tken introduced the subject of lay ioyu alternative line of rails from Auck 'jud to Penrose Junction, by way of the tabre, Mr. Dargaville reminded the MioiiijT that during last session he had ssked him a question on this subject, and Out Mr, Richardson then promised that llewrk would be undertaken without de- Ur, if found practicable. Ho now desired to how, therefore, what had been done, wi at what stage tho matter had now ar raed, and whether the* Minister could see te way to proceeding at onco with this such needed work. ThsHon. Mr Ricliai-dson said that this wsoneof the matters which more especially W brought him up to Auckland at this fine; that surveys had been mnde, but tkitadifficulty had now unexpectedly arisen iiaother direction. The Harbour Board —made a compensation claim which he considered exorbitant in respect of a por 1* of the foreshore in Mechanics' Bay, which waa required for the line. Tho Government were not disposeu to recognise to claim as set forth, (mil unless tho Har bour Board very jifwuly modified its pretensions it wo.ill bo necessary for Wa»kParliament for tlio necessary powers to take the land for tho construction of the ™. lie certainly would not yield to the Board's^ demands in their present form. T^t difficulty once removed he was pre- P»ied to go on with tho line, with this reservation, however, that undor present Wnmstances no Minister could pledge hi.s department to any financial operation. The deputation thanked tho Minister and Withdraw.

DEFENCE WORKS.

Thk Hon. tlio Minister of Public Works attended at the mooting of the Harbour Board this afternoon, nnrl submitted « proposal of importance. Ho said that liis object in coining thoro was this: —As thoy woro aware, the .Govern ment hud taken in hand the fortification of the port, and thoy were now erecting do fence works with all puisiblo speed. They could not, however, yet KUlriciont labour to carry on the noi-ka so quickly as they dosirod It hud occurred to thorn that as tho Board had a largo number of men working at contracts closo by, that they might obtain the cooporation of tho Board in tho direc tion nf securing tho services of tlieso. By the Board extending the contract timo, the Government thought n number considerable number of men might be spared from tlio contracts to proceed to tho North Hoad Works. Thoy would require at loast "JOO moro than thoy already had for the next fortnight, in order to rondei wafo the storago of a large quantity of ammunition. Ho would be glad if the Board could sco its way clear to thua assist tho Ciovornmont, and also assisting their own citizens in no small degroo. Ho might add that tho Mayor had also pro mised n number of men for city works. In reply to Mr Mackechnio, Mr Rich ardson said the pay would be the samo aa at present. Whole gangs would bo taken on with their overseers. The Mayor said he had seen Mr Lanigan, who thought it a serious matter to loso such glorious weather as at present. Ho suggested that a portion of tho men bo drafted from oacli work. Aftor aomo discussion, it was agreed to write to the various contractors ask ing how many men they could spare for defence works, and states that no timo penalties would be enforced, and tho loss of timo would bo allowed for on completion of contract. Mr Richardeen said thoro was ample employment for 230 or 240 men.

FROZEN MEAT COMPANY.

First Shipment to be mado in June,

Ik tho course of a letter to tho Harbour Board respecting tho necessity for deop wator accommodation at tho railway wharf, Mr Joseph Banks, manager of tlio Now Zealand frozen Meat and Storage Company, says :—The freezing works on tho reclama tion are now rapidly approaching comple tion, and tho receipt from owners of sheep for freezing and export will commence at the end of this month, while space has been engaged in a steamer of the New Zealand Shipping Company, expected to arrivo hero in June. It is thereforo of tho groatoat importance that there should be no ques tion as to tho temporary berthago of the steamer at the Railway Wharf, as thore is now no timo to provide for the first ship to arrive in Juno tho permanent wharf, and such accommodation which your Board has undertaken to provide on that portion marked B on the plan annexed to the Company's lease. I am further directed to state, with reference to the concluding portion of your letter of the 12th ultimo, stating that if by any possibility the works at the Railway Wharf should not be com pleted in timo ample accommodation will be provided at tlio Queen-street Wharf, that the Directors of this Company considered any question of shipping frozen meat from the Queon-streot Wharf would involve ex pense and risk that tho Company would not be prepared to undertake ; and they trust, therefore, that the accommodation which your Board has undertaken to provido on B will be pushed forward without delay, in order to accommodate future steamers for which frozen meat will havo to bo provided.

Blenheim, thia day.—A section in the Market Place (Blenheim) changed hands for £50 per foot. This is the largest price yet realised !«ere. Four years ago the same section was bought for eight poundsper foot.

Miss de Grey, who opened at tho Opera House last evoning, has a wardrobe worth between £2,000 and £3,000. She supplies the whole of the dresses required by tho members of the Company in each piece. A variety entertainment was held last evening in the Union - street Wesleyan Church, in aid of the repair fund. _ There was a good attendance. Selections of music were given, vocal and instrumental, and a number of readings and recitations. The Auckland Timber Company has noti fied tho Harbour Board that it has no objection to the N.Z. Timber Company, Auckland Gas Company, and Mr David Gouk reclaiming the land in front of their allotments on the sea front in Customs-street West, tho condition being that the Auck land Timber Company shall haye1 the same permission. Tho Hospital Committee mot yesterday afternoon. The appointment of a nurßO by the Lady Superintendent wa3 confirmed. The House Steward reported that the as sistant cook had been dismissed for neglect of duty, and a substitute bad been found. The House Steward sent in a requisition for 100 pairs of blankets, and suggested that tenders bo invited, It transpired that hitherto blankots, etc., had been obtained from wholesale houses without tendering. It was decided to refer the matter to tho House Committee to call for tenders. An application of the matron of the Upper Refuge for a copper was referred to the House Committee. It was decided to lay a wator pipo to the Lower Rofugo. Mr Clark moved, " That the motion modify ing tho rule respecting the method of ad mitting patients bo rescinded." After dis cussion tho motion was lost It was then resolved, "That the medical gtaff be in formed that tho Committee havo no inten tion of interfering with medical quostions, or of departing from present arrangements, beyond insisting on their right to diroct the admission of pationts if they think fit, a power that is gonorally exorcised by boards and committees of other hospitals."
